^Hopefully Rivers will air out a long one to him, instead of a Raiders corner.

damn! I completely forgot about this Chargers VS Raiders game kicking off the Thursday night games! hopefully everybody who wanted to play this week already got that pick in
and remember, just because you missed this game, you can still take this as a loss and compete in the rest of the picks
I still don't have NFL Network, and I still think it's a stupid ploy that the NFL attempts here to seduce us into forking over that much cash
I am and always have been strongly against the win percentage determining overall top spots at the end of the season. I just assumed I was the only one against this, and kept my mouth shut. but now that we are having an intelligent and civilized discussion, even gasp! for a drug message board, as GM so incessantly reminds us
in my eyes, the overall winner will be one who has not missed more than one week of picks. sure, life gets in the way, but if you take this uncannily fun game that we play every year as serious as I do, it's not that difficult just to make quick picks every week. this NFL Pick Ems thread is a strong factor in what keeps the allure to my beloved S+G forum. we all love the NFL, and we all love games, and we all love competition
if someone were to pick only half the games VS someone who picked every week, and they were both say tied - I would no doubt in my mind pick the person that has participated the most
cumulative wins should best winning percentage each and every time
I say that we change the rule to the overall winner being forced to only miss at the very least one or two weeks of play, at the risk of sounding too serious about a game with no end-game implications save for bragging rights (and as sports fans we do love to brag, eh?)
hypothetically speaking, with our current system, GM could decide to fore-go the seemingly difficult weeks and then simply pick the seemingly easy weeks to achieve victory. there is something inherently wrong, when considering the spirit of fair and balanced competition, if one could play our system like this (I'm in no way insinuating such a stand-up guy of GM's solid character would in no way-shape-or-form do such, just for the sake of the conversation!)

Thats one pick down already anyway. Chargers really are a useless bunch of fuckbags. How did the Raiders lose to Denver!
Palmer might be a dickhead but he threw some great passes tonight to Denarius Moore and played well. Or more like, he was allowed to play well. What the fuck were the Chargers doing trying almost 50 passing plays when they have Matthews and Tolbert. 70yds total on the ground. Fucking idiots. Vincent Jackson didnt even know where the ball was and looked like he had concussion on that interception at the end.
Rivers took another beating.

fucking oakland spotted them like 2 sets of downs in the last quarter alone. ffffffuuuuuuuuuu is right.
you should hear what he says about you!
i see a few of us are picking indianapolis to get their first win this week. is it totally crazy to suggest that minnesota might be the team to deliver green bay their first defeat, this week?

i see i'm the only one who took the raiders
I should have picked the Raiders. once again, San Diego is one of the most difficult teams to pick since the Norv Turner + Phillip Rivers era. Norv Turner has come across as impotent, while Phillip Rivers comes across as that entitled, old-money trust fund kid during one of his many screaming tirades to the refs/coaches/teammates, when the cookies crumbles naught his way...
Carson Palmer is a dick-head, no question about that. good for him though, apparently he had his first decent game whilst sporting the black-and-silver. I still feel bad about Jason Campbell, who is the nice guy Palmer dick-head
still a lot of tough picks this week, and yes, it always hurts to start the week with a Thursday loss
