Falcons could lose a second or third round pick

As a result of 'noisegate'.

 

Persistent chatter at the Scouting Combine suggested that the Falcons will be losing a second- or third-round pick in the 2015 draft for the infraction.  The NFL has provided no insight on the magnitude of the penalty the team will be facing.

If it’s a second-day pick, it wouldn’t be a surprise.  As cheating goes, attempting to disrupt the ability of the opposing offense to communicate seems to be a pretty big deal.  Given that it wasn’t a one-time thing but a two-year pattern tends to call for an even more significant punishment.

 

Combine chatter suggests stiff penalty for Falcons

 

Just hearsay, of course.

 

But amusing hearsay :D

Winning in the offseason!

 

If this penalty is established, New England's deflategate must be at the minimum a 1st rounder.

 

Pretty sure the verdict there was that nothing could be concluded since the only ball found to be deflated was the one that came from the Colts themselves. That said, the NFL leadership hasn't exactly shown themselves to be the logical sort.

 

If the Falcons lose a draft pick, however, I will smile.  Extensively.

Actually, an NFL official clarified that Ian Rapoport was wrong about that.

I really wish people would stop calling everything something "gate". I'm not calling out Mr. Scott, just the people who come up with the poo.

 

our latest case of "Historygate"

I used to drive by Watergate regularly when I lived in DC.  Nice place...

      Legette is killing us

      I get what you're saying, and to a large extent I agree, but I'm not sure what our #1 overall pick is supposed to do when good/great throws are hitting WRs/TEs in the hands and they're dropping them. That's been the state of things these last 3-4 weeks. I'm not sure why you're on this crusade to defend every player on this team not named Bryce Young from criticism as if Bryce is the one and only problem on this team.

      What Exactly Caused Bryces Turnaround?

      Someone, something, somewhere helped him to get his head right. A knowledge deficit would not have been overcome to this level this quickly. Likewise for physical. His give a damn was shattered. I’m sure Andy has played a large roll, but it’s more than just that. It’s hard to ask for a better mentor. Maybe he’ll open up at some point.

      "Bryce hater" here and I could be wrong, but his football journey involved him being one of the best players wherever he went, and surrounded by all the best players. I don't know if it's entitlement or overconfidence, but that mindset didn't translate to the NFL. Maybe he put a lot of pressure on himself being the #1 overall pick, but his demeanor his first 18 games of his NFL career exhibited someone who didn't care. Maybe after his benching it gave him some much needed maturity and perspective.  He's definitely a different player on the field now and I hope he continues to grow. I went from team Stroud, to cautiously optimistic Bryce supporter, to cut and trading that fool, to now a Bryce defender. The guy has earned my support by the way he has handled the benching and actually growing from the experience.
