Ty'Ron Hopper, what a play. Tips Bryce Young's throw on third and 4 and then picks it off before taking a big hit.

The uncomfortable truth about electric cars…🚙

It won’t matter now.
But when the officiating gambling scandal is unearthed in a decade about the games being played right now.
Will anyone be surprised?

That NASCAR race was manipulated so badly that I think they’ll have to add Jeff Gordon to the playoffs

The NFL has to be in full panic mode.
Tom Brady is calling it out in the broadcast… players are talking about it in the locker room after … and everyone from Lil Wayne to Warren Sharp is tweeting about it too … The officiating problem has hit a tipping point

What you are feeling is real weezy
The Packers rank last in penalty "luck" through 7 weeks. Mostly due to defensive holding and roughing the passer calls on the defense

Take 30 seconds and read these numbers
Idk how this can just be a coincidence anymore
Green Bay Packers 2026 penalty numbers, specifically on all-important THIRD DOWN plays & in the FOURTH QTR of games
The #Packers lead the #NFL in 4TH qtr penalty per game avg, recording historically high numbers in this category
Compounding that, the @packers have off-the-charts numbers surrendering AUTOMATIC 1ST DOWNS via penalty on THIRD DOWN plays (& primarily in the 4th qtr)
None of this is news to Green Bay players/coaches or fans
Three games in particular this season (@Vikings @Lions & vs Cowboys) were beyond ridiculous w' officiating in the 4th qtr of those contests
There are many numbers I can detail going back two decades but ill use 2021/2025 five-yr data as comparison to highlight the statistical improbablity of the 2026 stats
Green Bay is surrendering 1.71 AUTOMATIC 1ST DOWNS per game on THIRD DOWN
To put that in perspective, over the past 5 seasons the next highest avg in this category is the 2023 Titans (0.94 per game) & the 2021 #Bills at 0.89 per game
GB is averaging almost DOUBLE per game of the next highest penalized team over past 5 seasons in this category
In the FOURTH QTR, Green Bay is surrendering 1.29 AUTOMATIC 1ST DOWNS via penalty in 2026
The next closest to that the past five seasons is the 2024 Commanders at 0.90 per 4th qtr
The bulk of Packers ROUGHING THE PASSER & UNNECESSARY ROUGHNESS & ILLEGAL CONTACT penalties have occurred in the 4th qtr (see clip #GBvsMIN Week 1 w' Shawn Hochuli)
For the record im not a Packers fan, just someone that studies data
But I watch every game & the officiating in some GB contests this season has been diabolical late
The general response is "just play better" so a bad call or calls have no impact on the final outcome
That sounds great & im sure every team would love to be ahead 50-0 in the 4th so an atrocious UNNECESSARY ROUGHNESS penalty has zero impact
But the fact is most games come down to the final 10 mins & if you're on the wrong end of bad calls in the 4th qtr & particularly on 3rd down, its near impossible to overcome
Its up to Matt LaFleur & Packers hierarchy to inform @NFLOfficiating & start calling out the one-sided numbers
The positive would be these numbers can't continue indefinitely & GB does have 6 more games at Lambeau Field, where they historically have received better treatment

Why does he need to be reminded repeatedly to hold it wide open? Is that easy to forget? Almost like it was code. No engine sputtering either 🤔
Heartbreak for @_AustinHill. Completely lost power coming to the checkered.
