First good news Saints have had in a while .Vilma was done anyway, dude had 54 tackles total last year. Lofton had 140+. Lofton also better in coverage. Will Smith 35 tackles and 6 sacks. Both of these guys will be easily replaced. Was really worried that they were going to hit Harper or Greer who are the Saints best defensive players. With the players the Saints signed combined with returning everyone from the top offense in NFL history I can't imagine the Saints not making it to the SuperBowl next year which they will also host. What will Goodell do when he has to present the Lombardi to the Saints. Wow what a moment that will be!

You were making sense until the part about making it to the Super Bowl. Wake up from whatever dream you are having

Meh, they got off easy. They won't even feel these suspensions. Let the bandwagoners like breezing2anotherSB gloat all they want. The Taints still have to strap it on and play their games next season.

Will Smith won't be easily replaced nor are leaders (agree on Vilmas play though).

Trying to paint a delusional picture when it is crystal clear....you are screwed. Payton's dirty D is what made the Saints something more than a .500 caliber team

Good question about Harper. NFLN keeps showing the late hit on Smitty as part of their coverage. Part of what Goodell said was that they targeted the leaders of the program. Well, we know Harper never was a leader just a sheep.

Thats how i see it as well.

This is an excellent example of why you're considered a huge idiot troll on this board.

Lost their starting MLB and defensive leader.

Head coach suspended entire year.

Lost numerous premium draft choices.

No real head coach until week 6.

The biggest team punishment in nfl history.

Yeah, they got off easy.

Its merely a flesh wound! <gush> <gush>

They got slapped around in front of the nation. Humiliated and stripped of every bit of dignity they had. Im sure they rebound just fine next year ahahahahahaha.

and Harper is too stupid to lead anything, he's just another taints chump with no game.

They got off e-z as far as suspensions. Jeez man, you crack on me for not going to college but you have a hard time following along.

Meh. Appeals and legal battles may allow them to play. They already have covered for Vilma. Smith will be a minor issue if it sticks. Peyton will be coaching behing the scenes. So it all boils down to Brees. If he signs, the Aints will be contenders. If he doesn't, they won't be. Simple as that. :waits:

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
