I'll give it a shot!
Answer - no.

Quite a few of us picked the Browns today.
One elimination thus far with the Steelers' mildly surprising loss to the Raiders.
The Falcons don't appear likely to pip the Bucs (another popular pick today) on the road this afternoon, so the most likely possible elimination out of today's remaining games would figure to be the Titans over the Seahawks.
Well, the only consolation is that I would have picked the Seahawks in the one strike league, so, I'd have a strike anyway. And I'm out in the no strike league. A FG in overtime. Boo.
We're now down about a third of the original field in the No-Strike league (13 of 20 entrants remaining), with only Acymetric thus far eliminated in the One-Strike league (in impressively swift fashion!). 8 of 18 remaining players in the Two-Strike League have used up their mulligan.
I have watched a grand total of zero minutes of NFL football so far this season, with plans to keep it that way for the foreseeable future, yet I remain oddly committed to this competition.
Picks are now live for Week 3, so make your choices! And in honor of Bostondevil, remember to click "save."
Looks like everyone went in on ‘whoever is playing the Jets’.
One person did pick the Giants. Who lost.
I'm proud to have lost by not getting a pick in rather than by picking incorrectly.
The Failcons prevailed over the Giants on a game-ending FG in a Toilet Bowl for the ages.
I don't think I agree with the statement that Daniel Jones lost, unless it was simply meant as an acknowledgement that he's the only aspect of the team we here at DBR actually care about. Jones was 24-35 on the day for 266 yards and a respectable QB rating of 91. He also did not turn the ball over, which has been a bugaboo for him. The main issue is that his team is just not that good, but hey, neither are the Failcons...that was kind of a must-win for both moribund franchises (neither of whom is going anywhere this season, irrespective of yesterday's result).
They could use one more reminder on game day.
I will cop to being the person who picked the Giants. As a tribute to the person in my immediate family who was a Giant fan who unexpectedly passed the Sunday before last, my son (who came in) and I watched the game, yelled, screamed, cried. The selection was made in haste, hope, and love. And of course the tradition of getting out quickly. My son and I were at Daniel Jones' first game vs. NCCU at Wallace Wade; we very much want him to continue to excel and lead the team.
With a very heavy heart.
