How will the team react?

We won't know until they hit the field. I'm sure every player and coach will be dealing with this tragedy in their own way.

This isn't about the team, but if the NFL Network wants to really legitimize itself it should be LIVE right now with coverage of these events, not replaying Total Access.

NFL Network blowz nutz.

Part of me wonders how the hell we can even think about football right now. The other part knows that ST would show up Sunday and lay a beat down out of respect. I think to do anything else would be disrespectful to his memory. We owe this to him. We owe it as fans to show up on Sunday and cheer and cry and the we owe it as a team to honor Sean with effort and pride.You're right. I was thinking about going to the game on Sunday before all this happened, but since I've been wishy-washy. I wasn't sure if I could see myself being able to sit in that stadium surrounded by #21 jerseys and cheer for a game. But like you said, that's probably the best way to honor a guy who actually realized just how lucky he was to be able to (as he put it) "play a kid's game for a king's ransom."
Now I sort of feel like I have to go.

I don't know how the team will react, but I'm going to be emotional as hell. I'm going to watch this game alone because I know I'll be a wreck and I don't want anyone seeing that. I can't even get any work done today.

This tragedy is going to be very emotionally draining for everyone in the organization. People react to differently to these events so I don't know what to expect.

This isn't about the team, but if the NFL Network wants to really legitimize itself it should be LIVE right now with coverage of these events, not replaying Total Access.I couldn't believe it but freakin' Comcast Sportsnet, the "home of the Redskins," didn't break from their replay of some random PAC-10 game to cover this story. Instead they just put a crawler at the bottom of the screen.
Granted, they covered it all day yesterday, but I think things are a bit different today.

It's before 6am in LA. I think NFLN only has a few production people there overnight. Besides, other than the tragic announcement, I don't think there is any other news to report or to go live with.

Still, you call them, you wake them up. You get their asses over to work. They should have prepared obit pieces on him yesterday. They should have Faulk and Woodson discussing it. Schefter ready to provide whatever info as it comes in.

But in the end it doesn't matter

I think coach Gibbs said it pretty well yesterday in his presser..."I don't have a clue how to prepare this week, I have never had this happen to me in my career".

I really don't think they know how to react or what is going to happen the rest of the week. This is truely going to be a tough one. The good thing is that it's a HOME game and I am sure the faithful will be ready to support the team.

I just got up here in the west and heard that Taylor has passed wow it kicked my butted!!! I have to say it is been a very sad season and now this!!! This will be very hard to over come. As for locking out on the other post I think you are wrong because it's a way for us to talk about this and for some a way to try to come to some sences of why this happen! Just such a wasted and so sad!!!

Let them stay in bed those assholes just want to drag ST's name through the mud, like he was fucking Pacman Jones or some shit.

If this was Tom Brady oh lord they would be all over it.
