Sanchez is going to be DOA as a starter within the 1st 4 games if he struggles. If you thought the fans complaining in Denver was bad, in New York it'll be even worse.
Also Goodell went too far with the Saints especially with Sean Peyton, a whole year is outrageous. Further proof that the product is getting dumbed down.
Dumbed down?

What does that even mean? Is "dumbed down" just the new catch phrase for anything we don't like now? It doesn't even come close to making sense.
The fact is the NFL knew the Saints were running a bounty program back in '08-'09-ish and asked them nicely to stop. If Sean Payton and the Saints had just quit then no one would have ever heard of this whole thing. Instead the Saints ignored the commissioner, continued the program and got caught a second time and then lied and fabricated lies to cover themselves up. As we have all learned over the years, the cover-up and lying is always worse and punished harded than the original "crime."
Based on the facts the punishment is way too harsh, but that is the point of a deterrent. Do you think any team will
ever run a bounty program again? Do you think any coach/GM/owner will
ever ignore Goodell and do what they want anyway? Do you think anyone will
ever lie to or fabricate falsehoods again?
Also Warren Sapp is saying on Twitter that Jeremy Shockey is the whistle-blower. I can't see one 'Cane doing that to another 'Cane unless they are 100% sure it is true.
