Saints Defense maintained a Bounty Program

[Bigpapa42]

Oh man, Vilma is gonna get vilmafied over this situation if that's accurate to any extent.

Wonder who blew the whistle...

 

[TuxedoYoda]

Gregg Williams, Sean Payton & Mickey Loomis need to be out of football.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

There is talk of potential salary cap violations being persued if the league can confirm payments.

Shit is going to hit the fan, this is not good for the Saints, and while this is going on, Mr. Team Leader is bending them over without lube and wants to be the highest paid player in the sport.

 

[Rayman]

They got a Super Bowl out of it. Well worth it. I wish a certain team would grow a pair and play half as hard defensively, or at least target certain players.


You know, like a certain ape that lines up in the Giants' backfield. :shifty:

Take away their franchise tag as well......that would certainly be interesting for the Brees negotiations.

 

[Tailback U]

Can somebody tell me where they ranked in roughing the passer/unsportsmanlike conduct/unnecessary roughness penalties?

If they weren't near tops in the league then I really don't have a problem with this at all. I'd they were, then I do.

People are constantly bitching about how the nfl has
Gone soft and passing is too easy and the fines and flags for big hits are ruining the sport, now people are bitching about how this is too rough or malicious? It's contradictory.

 

[NWSaint]

Lord........... as if the Brees situation wasn't enough of an off-season
distraction.. now this :facepalm:

.. well we'll see what happens.. probably won't be good, but when your backed
into a corner you either roll over and die or come out fighting.. gotta love the
off-season.

I just don't get it. You can't complain about the fines for illegal hits and then complain about the players being paid for making big legal hits.

who is doing this?

 

[bucky]

Not sure why anybody is so worked up over this bounty stuff. Like a couple others have said, if the hits are legal, then who cares.

Illegal hits should be taken care of by the officials and the league.

If they are good, hard, LEGAL hits, what's the big deal?

 

[Tailback U]

who is doing this?

Anybody criticizing anybody in the Saints organization for this
Or saying that they deserve to be punished.

 

[PEYMAN18]

The big deal is they are INTENTIONALLY hurting players.

Nothing wrong with a big legal hit.

Also Gregg Williams apparently did this shit in Washington when he was the D.C according to NFL. Wouldn't be suprised if he gets the boot from the NFL.

Because they were giving a bonus for injuring players.

Legal hit or not there should never be incentive to injure another player. Especially not incentive from coaches.

I did not care until I saw that part.

How can you intentionally hurt another player with a legal hit?

 

[BigBucs]

Fine em draft picks, their franchise tag and suspend coaches :dance:

 

[PEYMAN18]

Wat.

You can hurt someone intentionally but still keep the hit clean...

 

[Tailback U]

Wat.

Wat.

You didn't answer my question. Please explain to me how I am trying to intentionally hurt someone if I am hitting them as hard as I can legally. Isn't that what we encourage football players to do? Hit hard but clean?

bucky misses the point, in a VSD shocker

Purposely blocking the qb hard after a pick. Hitting near the neck/head area when a player is clearly down. There are more than a few ways to have a dirty hit/play be a legal one.
