You honestly think Williams is going to be banned? If he is that's utterly ridiculous. 4 game suspension seems to be fair. I wouldn't expect anything to happen to us or Buffalo.

I doubt you will see him in the NFL again.
He'll get fired and disappear.
Imagine the boos the Saints will get if hes on the sidelines on opening day.

He's the Defensive cordinater for the Rams( for now)

I think a 1 year ban is in order. With everything the NFL preaches these days about player safety, anything less than dropping the hammer on GW/Saints would be so hypocritical.

Agreed, 1 year at the least. I think the NFL will look to make an example of him. Doesn't help that he straight up lied to the league either.

Not to mention it would set the precedent for future cases and potential lawsuits if a player received a career ending or worse injury from one of these bounty actions.

This story has gone past informative and inspiring positive change to protect players in the NFL to: a BS sensationalistic story.
YES, Gregg Williams went over the line in trying to inspire his troops, waaaay over the line. Pay $ for taking out opposing players should never ever be tolerated. Trying to intentionally take out another player with an illegal dirty play is already not allowed. Fine him and suspend Williams and send a strong message going forward to everyone this will be dealt with severely. Done.
However now we have these articles with Dungy and others floating theories on why Manning, Farve and other star players got hurt. We can not start investigations going back years 3, 5, 10 years.
Let's nip this in the bud and move forward. Lay off the sensationalistic stories and quotes of possible disgruntled players or coaches running their mouth.
Everyone has learned the lesson. Move on. A 8 to 16 game suspension and a big is fine.
Let's not go over board with this, Williams was not the only person to ever do this. Let's not demonize him.

Given that this is mostly GW's doing I would expect him to bear the brunt of the punishment. The Saints should only get punished if as an organization knew about it, which sounds like they did. It seems a bit pointless for the Skins and Bills to get punished, or at least get as harsh of a punishment as the Saints are likely to get.

The biggest problem I have with this whole story?

ESPN's choice of headline....

"Report: NFL to probe Redskins"


... ouch.

Wait... Haven't they been doing that for years?

100% agree. the cover up and refusal to quit is really the main issue, but like you state Williams is not the first. a variant of this behavior has been around since football began. But I agree with others, its time for it to stop.

Would think Sean Peyton and Loomis get some sort of suspension too. You can't deny it, then admit it but do nothing about it and not expect to get reprimanded
