The Fans Want Blood, and the NFL Appears Ready To Provide It

At the halfway point of the season, with only the Rodgers-less Packers and the Lions left to play in Week 9, I believe we are down to just two scenarios on this year's Super Bowl.

The first is the MAGA Bowl:  Patriots-Cowboys.

The second is an offshoot of the current state of the NFL -- brawls, fights, penalties, fines, suspensions, etc.

This was just Week 9 so far:

• Huge brawl in Jacksonville starts the day.  Late second quarter, innocuous run play is marred by a shove by Jacksonville's Jalen Ramsey on Cincy's AJ Green.  Green responds to this by rear-naked-choking Ramsey and throwing him to the ground by his neck, throwing a number of punches in the exchange as players from both teams join the melee.  Both Green and Ramsey were ejected.
• Rapeis Winston was at it in New Orleans this week.  He was shoving and jabbing a Saint player where he had no business, and when Marshawn Lattimore had enough, in comes Mike Evans with a complete cheap-shot from behind.  Melee ensues, no ejections.  (And the New Orleans coach wasn't happy with that fact!)
• Then, late in the San Francisco-Arizona game, another one of those perceived late-slide late hits on the quarterback.  Antoine Bethea drills CJ Beathard in his slide, gets 15.  Scuffle erupts, THREE players ejected (Bethea NOT one of them!!)!
• 23 penalties in Seattle-Washington, 16 of them on the Seahawks!!  (They had 15 two weeks ago against the Giants.)  (The 23 ties for the season high for a game, the 16 sets a new mark for most penalties in a game by one team this season.)
• 14 penalties on Denver against Philly.
• 21 penalties each in both the Thursday nighter (Buffalo 11-10 Jets) and the Sunday nighter (Miami 11-10 Oakland).

Anyone still want to get around the idea that there's a good chance that all Hell is intentionally breaking loose in the NFL??
