2025 Week Two Discipline Blotter

The Gameday Accountability post for the week is out from the NFL:

• Saquon Barkley got the biggest one of the week, and with all fines already doubled to the Eagles from just Week 1, that was nearly 100 grand between Barkley $46,371 and the team having to match it.
• Of the 19 fines this week, seven were for various forms of unsportsmanlike conduct.  The fines don't work there, people.  There's going to have to be ramifications on the scoreboard, just like in college.
• CeeDee Lamb should've been tossed from last week's game, as he got dinged twice.  Taunting in the second quarter, and a violent gesture in the fourth.  
• So should've George Pickens, who got two fines from the same play, and it was the same play of the violent gesture of Lamb's.  Those fines totalled about $55,000, but should've resulted in suspension for both Pickens and Lamb, because both should've been tossed.
• Lamb was flagged for the second-quarter foul, part of a play in which FOUR penalties were called on the same play.  The Giants had too many on the field and committed roughing the passer (unfined) AND defensive pass interference against Lamb's taunting foul.
• None of the three fines from the fourth quarter were penalized.  Lamb WOULD have been tossed, Pickens should have been.
• A fifth fine for a leg-whip brought the week's total for the Cowboys over $60,000.  That puts Dallas about $10,000 from matching everything already.  That's seven fines for the Cowboys in two weeks.
• Mr. Taylor Swift, in another evidence the league may finally be done with the Chiefs, got about $14,500 himself for "obscene gestures".  Unflagged after a long completion.
• The league's just gotta decide to allow New York to get involved in unflagged fouls, under the guise of "clear and present error".  That's just becoming evident.
