Week was heading for 50 points per game, but then the Seahags had to go screw it up.
Average for Week 8: 47.38, highest Week 8 since 2004.
8 week per-game average: 46.35, now about three-quarters of a point above last year.
And now the Blotter:
We begin with someone getting the heave-ho from the league:
- Jacksonville Jaguars: Justin Blackmon is now suspended indefinitely -- STRIKE THREE on the Drug policy.
- Speaking of the Seahags: Golden Tate: $7,875 for waving goodbye to the St. Louis Rams while scoring a touchdown. Not only is this taunting, but the league is now considering going to the college rule -- you do that, the points come off the board! (About damn freaking time!!) That makes him a TWO-TIME LOSER this season.
- Buffalo Bills: Mario Williams: $7,875 for a face mask on Drew Brees of the Saints.
- Cleveland Browns: Joe Haden: $7,875 for a late hit.
- New York Jets: David Nelson: $7,875 for unnecessary roughness.
- ANY more fines for the Jets put them back in Level 2 status. (Jets total against the number: $101,375)
- Cincinnati Bengals: Vontaze Burfict, at it again. $21,000 for spearing. He becomes the first player to become a THREE-TIME LOSER in three separate games this year. (Merriweather was suspended for offenses two and three in Week 7.)
- Atlanta Falcons got two: Osi Umeniyora: $15,750 for a helmet-to-helmet job.
- Atlanta Falcons: William Moore, same fine and offense. TWO-TIME LOSER -- Falcons have 4 fines, all $15,750 -- Moore has two of them.
- Denver Broncos: Wesley Woodyard: Another $15,750, another helmet-to-helmet job.
- Denver Broncos: Kevin Wilkerson: $7,875 for a late hit. TWO-TIME LOSER in back-to-back weeks.
- Detroit Lions: Joseph Fauria: $7,875 for a late hit.
- Detroit Lions: Team: $7,875 for $-$ on Level 3.
- Carolina Panthers: Apparently, according to this article, Mike Mitchell is a FIVE-TIME LOSER. Mitchell's fine for taunting Sam Bradford after the play which injured him was apparently his fourth $7,875 fine of the season to go along with $15,500 one time.
- This puts the Panthers right at the Level 2 number: $101,250.
Week 8: $ 123,375
Total for 8 weeks: $2,344,875 (by my spreadsheet)
