It's about time.

They have earned whatever they get and then some. Also the saints fans deserve it because of how they are trying to belittle the situation with comments like, all the teams do it, no one was hurt by it and the last but not least, it’s just a metaphor.

Who dat? is what every Taints fan will be saying when they look at what's left of their roster....

NFLN reported Tuesday that the overwhelming majority of players punished will be with a fine and it will only be defensive leader and captains. They actually released the names of the ones probably facing suspension, and only two current players, Vilma and Will Smith were named, all the rest are on other teams.

So their going to look at their roster and say, gee, which of all our new LB toys do we use at Mike this week? Look we got Greg Romeus, Bunkley, Cassillas, and Cam Jordan to take over pass rush duties.

Saints had multiple wins last year without Vilma and Smith, and didn't have all the extra defensive talent they just hired or a very good defensive scheme. Hate to break it to you, but the defense is expected to be better than last year, not decimated of players as you are hoping.

LOL at stupid Taints fans thinking they are going to get off light. The hammer is going to deliver the boom and year long suspensions will follow.

Hanged, drawn and quartered.

Yeah i don't think its going to be as big as people around here are hoping. Some of yall actually think the Saints will be left with only this years free agent signees and draft picks playing on defense next season.

This may be a shock to Saints fans but we are not counting on having to beat a decimated Saints squad in order to win the game. When Payton decided to pour it on us the last game of the season in pursuit of records to glorify his offense he gave our team all the ammunition we needed. If the Panthers didn't like the Saints before, the bountygate revelations coupled with the butt whooping the second game guarantee that the Panthers have this game penciled into their schedule. If it is the home opener as I just saw in another thread, we will have even more to play for.

As for your wonderful defensive scheme tell me again how great Spags' teams in St Louis were on defense. Let me help you. They were ranked 26th in points allowed in 2011 and 12th in 2010, both below where NO was ranked. Seems to me until proven differently, Spag's defenses were worse than Wiliams which is going in the wrong direction. He was considered a good defensive coach in New York but it may have not been him but Coughlin, similar to the way Fox made defensive coordinators look better than they were here.

But before you get too happy lets see if Brees goes back on his word and plays for you this year. Because without him, Daniels won't help you to 3 wins no matter how good the defense plays. Awful lots of fan bravado for a team that doesn't have a signed quarterback that is worth a damn.

Won't matter really. That defense was never really loaded with talent anyway. The scheme made the defense work more than the individual players.
