The New Orleans Saints and general manager Mickey Loomis followed head coach Sean Payton in appealing their penalties stemming from the "bounty" scandal that engulfed the franchise from 2009 through 2011.

The Saints, fined $500,000 and docked two second-round draft picks, and Loomis, suspended the first eight games of the 2012 season, are appealing their punishments separately to the league, Saints vice president of communications Greg Bensel said Friday. Bensel confirmed "that the team and Mickey Loomis albeit separately have respectfully filed an appeal with the league."

if this ever happend to the panthers-- we would want our staff to do the exact same thing.

it happend, this appeal obviously is just to buy time ( I doubt it'll backfire) the commish seems to be fair and although each situation is different the process is the same for each one.

As for player suspensions, they are coming-- but some expect them to be staggered ie. vilma first 8 games, grant last 8 games-- that is also fair IMO but I WOULDN"T be surprised if they are not staggered either.

      Bryce Young PFF - Week 16

      By NAS · Posted

      Wait until all the Bryce haters wake up haha Bryce would have been a perfect score yesterday if not for a couple of throws.  One was not throwing it to Thielen in the middle of the field and the 3rd and 2 on the last drive of regulation.  He rushed that throw and needs to set his feet and complete it.   He still has a long way to go to reach his potential, needs to get more consistent but yesterday was a great way to bounce back from 4 turnovers last week.  3 TDs, 0 turnovers, 226 total yards.  Solid day.

      the gameplan was very QB friendly.    That aspect has a lot to do w/ the odds of ending up w/ a good grade.   Heavy run w/ a safe/conservative pass plan.

      I hate to be KB’s defender but that was on the ref 5 yards from KB and the CB. The play should have been stopped immediately. KB knew he touched the CB and the play was reviewed and overturned for a touchback because the CB was down. It all goes back to protecting QBs. I have no doubt that if Brady was the QB, the whistle blows because you’d be letting a potential dangerous play continue for no reason. We saw our own TD get suspended for a blindside block on Adams on an interception return. Cam was QB and this was 2016, so no whistle. KB has no idea that Cam will hurt himself trying to tackle. It’s not his call to blow the whistle. I understand he could have just tried to tackle the guy, but he and the asshole ref are the only guys who know the play will be overturned on review. Also, 9 other offensive players didn’t make the tackle and I’ll bet that if we go frame by frame there are a few not giving 100%. The refs spent all of 2016, from the SB to week 1 to this game not protecting Cam ever. The zebra right next to the play should have stopped a dangerous play, period.
