There may be some individual suspensions and fines handed out, depending on what reliable documentation the NFL feels it has, but to suspend an entire defense at the same time is a little over the top, even for Goodell, and especially in light of suspending the coach & GM for significant lengths of time. The goal here is not to wipe out a revenue producing organization of the NFL.

For the sake of discussion, let's say they do it ... the Saints already have their offense in place, they scour the F/A market, CFL and other venues to find replacements, it is what it is, you don't roll over and die.

Y'all been through Katrina, this ain't nothing but a walk in the park. Bet. Focus. Adapt. Overcome. Believe.

The Saints go Marching on.
