[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

Saints season is over before it even starts...

And they lost 2 2nd rounders..

LMFAO.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Atleast it isn't 1st rounders.

I'm curious to see player suspensions, that's what will do the Saints in.

Not the suspension of Sean Payton, they're experienced in not having him around.

The ASST Head Coach is also suspended for like 8 or 6 games, and yall don't have a 1st round pick this year.. soo pretty much.. yall are fucked.

How the hell is a GM banned for 8 games? Is he not allowed to make any moves for the first 8 weeks or something?

Luckily we have guys like Spagnuolo and Pete Carmichael Jr who have experience in being the "head coaches" of offenses and defenses. Like I said last year, when Payton was ran over in Tampa last year and had to sit up in the box for all those games Carmichael and Brees took over FULL control of the offense. Payton was nothing more than a spectator. The team didn't play as good during that period as they did with Payton, but like I said losing him WILL hurt.

Losing a second round pick this year won't do you in. Sure it hurts a little, but it won't make a HUGE difference. Again, the player suspensions will hurt more than anything. Though I find it funny they suspend Payton for a full year but don't take a first rounder? If there was one thing I was sure of, it was that they'd take our first rounder next season.

2 2nd rounders do more damage than just taking a 1st rounder..

Yall already don't have a 1st rounder this year.

Players are going to get suspended as well, and you still got the big ole Brees contract cloud hanging over the franchise.

Things aren't good in NOLA right now.

Lots of speculation that the player suspensions won't be bad, and some will face huge fines instead of suspensions. Obviously guys like Jon Vilma will probably be suspended, but him being a Saint next season was a long shot before any of this came out. Though I'm expecting overkill by the NFL and Goodell once again and they'll probably suspend every player on our D and the opposing offense will just get an automatic seven points in games.

I think the one thing a lot of people do not understand is this wasn't just about the bounty for injuries, the bounties for performance was MUCH bigger. My biggest fear is that this drags on like the starcaps incident did.

Saints should have just cheated to win.

NFL says #Saints bounties were placed on at least 4 QBs - Brett Favre, Kurt Warner, Aaron Rodgers & Cam Newton. Possibly more

Sean Payton stunned by suspension: “I’m not OK”

Saints coach Sean Payton was shocked to find out today that he has been banished from the NFL for the entire 2012 season for his team’s bounty scandal.

Jay Glazer said on NFL Network that he interviewed Payton immediately after the news came down, and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s punishment is far more severe than Payton was expecting.

“I did talk to him and he’s stunned to say the least,” Glazer said. “I think the entire team thought maybe there’d be a four-game suspension, but not a year. I said, ‘Are you OK?’ And he said, ‘No, I’m not OK.’ He is stunned. He’s going to lose about $8 million. He is beside himself here.”

Glazer reports that Payton’s plan for the four-game suspension he had braced himself for was to have assistant head coach/linebackers coach Joe Vitt take over as interim head coach while Payton served the suspension. But that plan is now out the window because Vitt has been suspended six games for his own role in the bounty scandal.

The Saints may now have either offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael or former Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo, who was slated to replace Gregg Williams as defensive coordinator, step in as the head coach.
