Can't help but think we dodged a bullet not having GW take over for Gibbs.

The Zorntank and the 2 years of Shannytank did assist us.

(I'm not joking)

don't be so quick to think we dodged a bullet. Goodell said that when he considers Williams' eventual request for reinstatement, he'll consider how cooperative Williams is in future investigations. This can only mean the league is going to look into bounty systems at Williams' former teams. obviously, Shanahan and Allen cant be suspended as they weren't here, but draft pick penalties could be coming our way.

Perhaps well agree to allow the NFL to screw us over with the cap if they promise not to screw us over with bountygate.

They should go desecrate Vinny's backyard.

Skins won't get punished. Two very different situations. Our GM didn't know about it at the time, Gibbs didn't know about it, Snyder didn't know about, and the league didn't find out about it and tell us to stop, only to have us subsequently lie to the league about putting an end to it. All of those things are true with the Saints.

Agreed, RG's message has been heard loud and clear. If you keep digging into the past where does it stop? Do you go all the way back to when GW was the DC for the Titans? Do the Bills get dragged in too? Doesn't make sense.

Agreed. It sounds like the next step is doling out the player punishments.

Is a flaming bag of poo on Vinny Cerrato's doorstep acceptable punishment? I'd be down with that.

Had not thought of it this way - - but there is a sinister logic at the core of your reasoning here...
