2026 Week Seven Score Report

Well, that was a week...

• Didn't think that many points were scored this week, but they got to 632 for the 14 games, 45.14 per game.
• 4,924 points in 107 games.  46.01 is now the scoring average.
• 176 penalties this week.  12.5 per game only.  Season:  1,659, 15.5 per game.
• Most penalties through seven weeks:
• To no one's material surprise, Green Bay retains the top spot.  (7th seed in NFC)  Their -20 penalty differential is also second-worst in the league.
• Cleveland is second.  (3rd seed in AFC)
• Baltimore is third.  (#8 seed and out in the AFC), and they are the team with the worst differential, -25.
• Houston and the Jets are fourth and fifth.
• Least penalties through seven weeks:
• Indianapolis, on average, with only 5.2 penalties a game, 36 in 7 games.
• Minnesota has the fewest raw, with 34.  (#1 seed in the NFC, last undefeated team in the league)
• Detroit is third-least.  (#6 seed in the NFC)
• Kansas City is fourth-least.  (#1 seed in the AFC) Even with only 41 penalties in six games, they have had 37 committed on them!  Only Detroit has fewer, with 36.
• Pittsburgh is actually better on average, with only 42 in 7 games with no bye yet.
• Best differential?  Tennessee, a tie between Las Vegas and Minnesota, and Dallas.
• Home teams were 5-8 this week.  51-49-1 for the season, 15-24-1 the last three weeks.
• In a marked departure from the season, seven of the 14 games this week finished outside one score.  66/107 games now have finished within one score.
• Four of the seven were non-competitive, never within one score in the fourth quarter.  One of them that was "competitive" was quite bizarre.  Cincinnati was 14-13 up on Baltimore to start the 4th.  35-13 at the end.   
• And, with the lack of games within one score, many of the specialties were also rare this week.
• Only 3 games had Cliffhangers, and it was 5 total Cliffhanger events:
• Double in Cleveland. Tennessee tied with a field goal at 58 seconds, Cleveland wins it with a field goal at the gun.
• And Houston tied the Giants at home at :52, the game went to overtime, Houston went 3 and out and got the ball rammed down their throat in a minute and a half.
• 45 such scores in 25 games this year.
• And only 1 Last Chance Miss, marking the 39th game this year that a team missed a chance to feasibly tie or win in the last two minutes.  And that was an onside-kick miss, which I do count, even as rarely as they are converted.

Watch This Space: Sounds like Cam Skattebo wants to not be playing, for free or otherwise...

Skattebo, who already has one helmet fine this year already, was actually flagged for this helmet hit...

That's gonna be $47000, bitch. And it sounds like Skattebo doesn't care either...

HEARTBREAKING: #GIANTS RB CAM SKATTEBO SAYS HE MAY BE PLAYING FOR FREE IF THE NFL KEEPS FINING HIM FOR HOW HE RUNS. “The NFL loves to post me when I do stuff like that but then also wants to take stuff from me” “Guess I’m going to play for free” Awful💔 https://t.co/iDFnqSrkn2

Why don't you SHUT THE FUCK UP AND STOP USING YOUR HELMET AS A GODDAMN BATTERING RAM?

Because the next one is probably going to get you sidelined.

I find it hilarious...

The number of Lions, Vikings, and Bears fans piling in on the Packers with the same message -- that it's about fucking time the Packers get completely fucking screwed over.

Forgetting any number of facts:

• Saw a couple of Lions fans making reference to the Rodgers Hail Mary after the facemask in Detroit a number of years back.  Forgetting two things:  The replay clearly shows the hand getting inside the facemask for the 15, and then, if you want to talk about rigged games, please explain to me how the Packers receiver who caught the winning touchdown had about a four-yard halo in the endzone for same winning touchdown.
• If the Packers have gotten so many calls that it's time for the pile-on, you're probably not only saying this has always been a 5-12/5-11 team propped up by the officials, but...
• ... if the Packers got anything close to all the calls, then where's the Super Bowl the two years they got fucked by Seattle, starting with the Fail Mary and ending with the lay-down to ensure the result in the next year's NFC title game, WWE-style -- that even Mick Foley could see was pro wrestling-inspired?
• Where's the Super Bowl the year they had the #1 seed and lost to the Giants?
• How about the nice Tom Brady job they did for the Buccaneers in the same circumstance?
• And why did it get so bad yesterday that even BRADY, THE single biggest beneficiary of NFL refereeing shenanigans for almost two decades!, could identify the problem?

I could go on if you like, and will if some of you ask.

I make no secret that the games are rigged, no matter who wins.

But when the league not only makes it that flagrant, but basically makes it obvious as to why (which this blog identified the moment Jacobs was first being reported for domestic violence during training camp!), don't then come screaming to me the next time your team gets screwed square up the ass, no matter who the opponent might be!

Looks like we have at least three red flags for Week Seven so far...

• Detroit-Green Bay
• San Francisco-Atlanta  To tell the 49ers to knock their shit off.   
• And this out of the Sunday nighter -- which was the first game in the entire career of Patrick Mahomes that they did not get to the red zone.  Check out these betting numbers.  Hmmmm....

2026 Week Seven Political Rankings

With 2-4 Dallas vs. 2-4 Philly tomorrow night, might as well get this done now.

Well...  Well...  Well...

This shakes things up rather curiously...

Let's get to it:

NFC first this week:

1) Detroit

Especially if, as I do believe, Trump is going to be involved in the choice, I don't see how Minnesota is going to be in play here -- and that situation in Detroit was BLATANT today.  Probably one of the more blatant situations in years.

2) NY Giants

Getting real suspicious that MAGA New York (like they did for Dolan in the NBA championship) may be in play here too.  They are 4-2-1, and at least represented this far as the best team in the division.

3) Minnesota

Basically by default.

4) San Francisco

Did the message get through with the two-possession loss at Atlanta?  I get the feeling that was a direct "Knock your shit off" message with the York suspension, the Warner fines, etc.

5) Seattle

Can't oversell the fact they took Kansas City down and convincingly tonight, even though, if the season ended this week, they would be out!

Kayfabe:

1) Minnesota

2) San Francisco

3) NY Giants

4) Carolina

5) Chicago

6) Detroit

7) Green Bay (conference tiebreak over Seattle)

AFC:

1) Cleveland

Yeah, I'm going THERE.  5-2, leading the division, the #3 seed behind Buffalo and Kansas City, and probably the biggest pimp job in the AFC not named Kansas City in DeRapist Rapist.

2) Buffalo

If you really want to put Buffalo #1, I won't stop you.  But the NFL doesn't want you to embarrass the Shield, but if you have paid that penance and you're a bad man, the NFL does tend to push you when they are ready to do so.  Ray Lewis, anyone?  As much as Josh Allen is being viewed as the pimped MVP choice, he's not a bad man.

3) Kansas City

And, with that, we get to the DUD OF THE WEEK awards...

These may be altered in some order based on new information, but here you go:

BRONZE:  Kansas City

20-3?  Way to keep the fires on the log that your wins are rigged, Chiefs.  Because you showed Dick and All of Nothing tonight.  And I mean NOTHING.

SILVER:  Carolina.

43-13...  To TAMPA???  Someone was overlooking that game for the next one Thursday night at Lambeau -- and then probably didn't need to worry so much...

GOLD:  Whatever approximated that officiating crew in Detroit today.

The video speaks for itself.

AFC Kayfabe:

1) Kansas City (conference tiebreaker over Buffalo)

2) Buffalo

3) Cleveland (HTH tiebreaker over Pittsburgh)

4)  Jacksonville

5) Denver (conference tiebreaker over Pittsburgh)

6) Pittsburgh

7) New England (conference tiebreaker over Baltimore)

After Further Review: Are you getting the hint yet, Packer Fan?

The Green Bay Packers Have Been Absolutely Robbed Tonight By The Officials. Multiple Botched Roughing The Passer Calls. A Horrible Intentional Grounding Call. By Far The Worst Officiated Game I've Ever Seen In My Entire Life. If I Was Green Bay, Win Or Lose, I'd Contact The NFL And Ask For An Investigation Into These Refs. It Hasn't Been More Obvious Than This, And Not Just This Week. It's Been Going On For Weeks. Something Is Going On. 🚨

— SM Highlights (@SMHighlights1) October 25, 2026

PS: That's Roughing the Passer. That late, treat the quarterback like you do the referees. ANY contact is 15. The rule is forcible unnecessary, and that qualifies.

Tom Brady has had enough with the officiating. "My goodness. What is that?" "There's no way!" "It's definitely not roughing the passer." https://t.co/a0JlJUylJM

— Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) October 25, 2026

This one's closer to a straight Josh Jacobs rig-job. The only call I could think giving on that is if and only if there were head contact.

I hate to break it to Tom Brady, Dean Blandino, and Packers fans, but this looks like contact to the head/neck area to me. https://t.co/4nHjSmP26y

— Jeremy Reisman (@DetroitOnLion) October 26, 2026

And, according to this angle produced by a Lions fan, there's a nonzero chance they may be right!

Completely leaves his feet not even trying to make real tackle. The league is putting an emphasis on making sure the Packers don't get any personal foul calls https://t.co/6pu103t9YO

— Real Quarterbacking™ Enjoyer (@Ferd_Turgeson) October 25, 2026

That should be fined Saturday. Damn near spearing, too.

Guess which one was called intentional grounding? https://t.co/fYtAPPhf4H

— Johnny barks (@Johnny_Barks) October 25, 2026

And the wrong one was called intentional grounding.

These two instances exists in the same universe… can you believe it? @NFL @NFLOfficiating #rigged https://t.co/J1rEOcf57h

— kayd (@ckayder) October 26, 2026

Here's several more...

Ref spazzes out and throws a flag from the ground after tripping over Amon-Ra 🤣 They need to buzz in and fix this shit from New York. https://t.co/qgI6zLxQ9e

— Kurt Benkert (@KurtBenkert) October 25, 2026

And if you're going to flag that, that's an ejection foul.

.@NFLOfficiating hasn’t tweeted in three years, which at this point feels like the last time any group of them had a clean game. Being allowed to grab and restrict the receiver from extending his arm to catch the ball is about as big an advantage as you can give a defender. https://t.co/Ze2m6wdwMb

And LaFleur had to shut up, or he loses a quarter million.

2026 Week Six Fine Blotter

Wow, so we can start the bidding at over $900,000 already.

During the week:

• Buffalo:  Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, 1 game suspension for spitting, appeal lost.  Officially lost about $100,000 -- another million down the tubes for playing time incentives he now will not reach.
• Buffalo:  Sam Franklin, 1 game suspension for spitting announced, appeal WON.  $14,926 fine instead.
• Philadelphia:  Coach Nick Sirianni, a suspended $250,000 fine for referee abuse.
• New England:  Coach Mike Vrabel, a suspended $250,000 fine for referee abuse.
• New York Jets:  Aaron Glenn, a suspended $250,000 fine for referee abuse.

And now for the Saturday announcements:

Taunting:

• Carolina got THREE separate incidents on three separate plays:  Will Lee:  $6,377
• Carolina:  Tommy Tremble:  $11,941
• Carolina:  Zakee Wheatley:  $5,626
• Green Bay:  Matthew Golden flexed his way to $11,914.

A third quarter incident got two Saints for Violent Gesture:

• New Orleans:  Christen Miller, $11,915
• New Orleans:  Chase Young, $14,926

And for removing his helmet, an unsportsmanlike conduct act:

• Jacksonville:  Travis Hunter, $14,926

Leg Whip:

• Arizona:  Tegan Quitoriano, $6,750

Roughing the Kicker:

• Chicago:  Jahdae Walker, $5,620

Which leads us into the Helmet Fouls, and we now get our official answer on whether they are strikes or not -- THEY ARE NOT, as you'll see in a separate designation:

• Chicago:  Where we see Jahdae Walker again, another $5,620 for a separate incident.  Makes $55,833 a game, so that dinged him about 20% of his paycheck.  The second incident was a headbutt, Walker was tossed from the game.
• Denver:  Alex Singleton, $23,882  He is now a THREE-TIME LOSER.  A late hit and a Defenseless Player strike.
• Seattle:  Mike Morris, $6,808
• One I will mention separately at the end, as stated above...
• Seattle:  Ty Okada, $6,361

Which leads into a tripping fine for...

• Seattle:  Ty Okada, $6,361  Makes a bit over $63,000 in a week -- that's about 20% of his check gone to misconduct.

Striking, etc.:

• Cleveland:  Luke Wypler, $6,611
• Kansas City:  Christian Roland-Wallace, $5,981

Late Hit:

• Kansas City:  L'Jarius Sneed, $6,750
• Dallas:  Tyler Booker, $11,941
• LA Chargers:  Alex Harkey, $5,277

Facemask:

• Washington:  Chris Paul, $11,941

Roughing the Passer:

• New England:  Dre'mont Jones, $17,911, knees or below.
• New Orleans, their THIRD of the week:  Vernon Broughton, $8,381, blow to the head.

Uniform violation:

• Chicago, their THIRD of the week:  Caleb Williams, $11,941, unapproved cleats.

And, last certainly not least, except for one player I want to mention at the end, the Points of Emphasis:

• Arizona:  Eku Leota, $6,361, blindside block.  His first strike.
• Atlanta:  Chris Blair, $5,972, blindside block.  His first strike.
• Carolina, their FOURTH of the week:  Feleipe Franks, $6,750, blindside block.  His first strike.  
• New York Giants:  Thomas Fidone, $5,791, blindside block.  His first strike.
• Pittsburgh: Patrick Queen, $17,911, defenseless player foul.  His first strike.

And then the one I would leave to the end.  The biggest loser of the week, over $65,000, and would someone in the NFL explain to me why this player is not suspended, PLEASE:

• San Francisco:  Fred Warner, $17,911 for defenseless player.  
• San Francisco:  And $47,762 for his second helmet foul of the year.

So not only does he now have a league meeting he had to have this week, as that is STRIKE TWO.

Not only does he have two helmet fouls on top of it...

But he's the league's first FOUR-TIME LOSER this year.

That's TWO GAMES, at least!  Four major Player Safety fouls in six weeks.
