Heads up for NFL-related competitions still open [Sports betting competition](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=701533) [Pick 'em and survival](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=699175) [Yardage pool](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=700586) I don’t know if you can still sign up for the survival pool after the Thursday game, but you’d only be one game behind on the pick em leagues. On the other two you can still fully participate. ---

The Browns have to play the ratbirds after Thursday night games twice this year, giving them 3 more days to rest/gameplan/practice. Kind of ridiculous, just a random fuck you from the NFL. Their asskicking after this game makes me think they’re going to come out looking to hurt people. ---

Fun fact I learned this morning: Last year, it took until Week 10 vs. the Raiders for the Ravens’ defense to allow their 7th TD pass of the season. ---

They haven’t even played one game yet, but that won’t stop the 49er’s coach Jim Harbaugh from bitching and moaning about officiating. Apparently, he’s sad that his QB, who as part of the offense pretends to be a runner, might be tackled like a runner. Here’s a little hint, Jim: if you don’t want your QB to be hit like a runner, don’t have him play as a runner. ---

God, does anyone bitch more than the Harbaugh brothers? Bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch. ---

What the Hell is going on with Roddy White? first he is 100% certain to play and now he’s a gametime decision? ---

Last I heard, White will start to keep his streak alive, but will be very limited. I made the hard choice and sat him. ---

I’m facing Manning and started the Broncos D in the SDMB Dynasty league. I need a miracle, and wouldn’t be surprised to see White only play a few snaps. ---

Titans, I wonder if any other team has started a game, much less a season, with a safety on the kickoff. ---

Three safeties so far. I wonder what the record is for an NFL weekend? ---

FOUR safeties!! WTF!? Is there some new NFL strategy I’m unaware of? ---

Huh, just three I guess. They had the Steelers score at 4-0 for a minute. ---

I see Tenn, KC and TB to have committed safeties. Anyone else? Seattle having their usual East Coast early start difficulties. Brownies last team to score today. Huh. ---

The cle/Mia opener is almost as sloppy as last years cle/phi. Browns are inexplicably leading. ---

Lessee… Adrian Peterson runs a long TD on his first carry, and Ndamukong Suh negates a defensive score with a personal foul. Are we sure this is live football and not a humorous prediction thread?
