I figured Vilma was gone for the year when this started. Surprised that there aren't more players.

I can hear Collin on the TV in the living room saying our season is pretty much wasted. That you gotta be excited if youre a buc, falcon, panther, giant, cowboy or packer fan.
Cannot wait for the season to start. Dis gunna be good.

The only player we lost of any significance is Smith and he is a mediocre, overpaid player
He's out for 4 games.
Does that mean we get 1/4 of his yearly cap hit back?

If thats all we have to suffer through, I am not as concerned. Could have been worse. Get ready for some Lofton!

Will Smith now has nearly as many games suspended (6) as he had sacks (6.5) last season. Cool story.

No, I don't think so. We didn't last time he was suspended (Starcaps).

Jonathan Vilma has been suspended for the 2012 season.
Seems a bit harsh.
I'm still fuzzy on how the players can get suspended. It's the team offering extra incentives that are supposed to be a bad thing, not players. And what about QBs taking their linemen to dinner or buying them watches and stuff?

I think it's pretty obvious that the NFL doesn't want us in the Super Bowl in New Orleans

What did Vilma do that was 12 games worse than Smith?
Well, Vilma was named in the NFL report (the only offender named) for putting a bounty on Favre for the NFC Championship game. Personally, this is what I expected for Vilma. But I anticipated more than 4 players suspended.
What did Vilma do that was equivalent to killing a man (Stallworth) and 12 games worse than raping a woman (Roethlisburger)?

Was he a tool when he caught the Saints in a bounty scheme and told them there would be no punishment if they stopped immediately?
He is a tool for not a) being consistent in punishment and b) not willing to release info.
I believe there is a reason for Vilma getting a year but give me the info not some "most egregious" statement.

Not bad at all, Lofton will be great replacement. Happy it's all over

Now this is the current big question:
Do we get cap relief for suspended players?

Colin Cowherd thinks our season is over because Will Smith is out for 4 games? Damn, didn't know he was that good.
