TheDeuce

To be honest, I thought we were going to get "Ricky Williams'd" on this (I.e. lose our entire draft). In my mind, the worst thing that can happen is losing players and draft picks. We end up losing two second-round picks, which sucks, but I can live with it.

Losing our coach and GM would hurt if it was permanent, but it's one year. They say a good coach can help a team win one, maybe two games based on play-calling and clock management. The players on the field are the ones who have the biggest impact, and last I checked we still have the baddest offense ever to roam the NFL. We have other guys who can call plays as evidenced when Payton got hurt last season.

This is obviously a harsh penalty, but suspending our coach and GM isn't as bad as taking away our entire draft IMO. That would have made me freak out. Losing the future backbone of the franchise hurts worse than having your coach suspended for a year. The players make the plays.

Two good things come from this:

1. We will have the biggest chip on our shoulder in franchise history.
2. All bandwagon fans are gone. If you were borderline, you're rooting for the Cowboys or Packers about now. Now we will see who the real Who Dats are...
