The NFL fined the Saints $500,000 and took away a seventh-round draft pick for not wearing masks during their postgame celebrations after beating Tampa Bay 38-3 in Week 9, league sources told ESPN.

The Saints, who were none too happy about the discipline, have appealed the league's decision. The Saints believe other teams across the league also have celebrated victories without masks, but none have been bit hit the way New Orleans has.

Remember they traded away the 6th next year to get back in the draft and take a player we were talking with.  He's been cut.  The Saints will not have 6th or 7th round picks this year unless they make a trade.

Saints always with the victim mentality when in reality they’ve been one of the league’s darings for over a decade.  They just gotta stop doing stupid things forcing the league to slap them on the wrist. 

The best part of them being a darling is that they keep fuging it up in the playoffs. It's absolutely amazing to watch.

Isn't that the exact same penalty the raiders got?

Also the league shouldn't be fugging around with 7th's. They should be going 3rds, 2nds and then 1st for each strike.

Raiders lost a 6th. They were repeat offenders, which is why they got smacked harder. The NFL kept warning them and they basically ignored them.

1st is a bit much but a 2nd or 3rd would stop it add that with the suspension of the head coach for 4 games and it would come to a screeching halt.

The NFL doesn't have the sack for that, especially with two teams that are in the playoff race. They'd create a Kaepernick level shitstorm that they completely don't want to be involved in during an already economically depressed year for them.

      Some ALL-22 clips…

      It was a team loss, because it's a team game.  I even admitted so in the above post.  That does not deflect or shield a player or players for their role in that loss. Horn's penalty and Hubbard's fumble were super costly.   What was your intent on starting this thread with an All-22 pass play?  Did you honestly think there would be no controversy around Bryce?  Then go on to say if anyone disagrees they are 100% anti-Bryce.  Really?  I've stated over and over again my position on Bryce.  At this point, he's not the pre-benching '24 Bryce, that guy is largely gone.  However, his ceiling is game manager level for like 80% of his outings, that being middling...10% really good and 10% awful.  That's not my idea of a franchise QB.  The notion that we just have to maximize everything around him to nudge him above game manager level is not only unrealistic, but one sided...literally.  The defense has taken a back seat as a priority on this team, yet we complain about it.  How many die hard NFL fans can name anyone on our defense outside of Brown and Horn?  Heck most fair weather Panthers fan couldn't either.

      Investigate Jaycee Horn's betting accounts

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      People have genuinely ignored the fact that Horn is having a very underwhelming season overall. The INT's are way up but a lot of the other metrics have not been very kind. He has had a disappointing year overall by his standards.

      their pass defense is good but not that good.  they are giving up on average 198 yards passing per gamd which is higher than byoungs average per game.  their pass defense is basically the same as the panthers pass d
