How bad can Goodell punish Saints?

Could Goodell bring in some types of NCAA punishments such as denying any postseason trips or vacating past wins? Could he also ban Gregg Williams?

I doubt he does any of that. Remember the NFL spent millions to build up New Orleans after the hurricane, they don't want to be contributing to any demise here. The response will be severe but measured. Fines, loss of draft picks are most likely. I don't think they can ban anyone but could suspend Williams for a year and fine him which both are likely.

Lol i'm thinking most Panther fans are hoping they get to play the Saints with key members of their staff and players suspended.....How weak is that?

If it was any other team in the league, I'd feel the same way...its completely dishonoring the game, worse so than spygate. Its nothing but malicious greed. It just happens to be my least favorite team in the league :D

Of course Greg Williams is no longer on the staff so I'm not sure how much the staff could be punished anyways.

    • This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY. 
    • The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.
    • I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
