Jerry Jabber Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 On the John Murphy show tonight, John seems to think that Brady will only get a two game suspension; One for the deflated footballs and the other for not cooperating in the investigation. IMO, a two game suspension would be very light and a slap in the face to the rest of the NFL.

Gostkowski refuseed to cooperate, too, so should also get at least a couple of games off.
BuffaloBaumer Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 I don't want any suspensions for Brady. I want no excuses for the Cheats when we beat them. I don't want to hear any yea buts when we take the division and last I want no fuel for Brady. Maybe you haven't been around the last 12 years of beatings....you don't want Brady in vs the Bills....ever.
Kirby Jackson Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 I think some people just want an excuse to devalue any achievement by a Buffalo team.You might be right. It is that weird, defeatist Buffalo attitude. That's part of the reason that I love this new Buffalo. There is no feeling sorry for yourself. The place is full of doers and not martyrs.

IMO, a two game suspension would be very light and a slap in the face to the rest of the NFL. A lot of local media outlets (in every market except NE) are saying it's likely only going to be 2-4 games. I think that's just a way of preparing us for the most lenient punishment to be expected.
NobesBLO13 Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Personally I don't think he gets a full year suspension, but how much credibility does Roger Goodell gain back from the public if he does? Obviously he works for the owners but I wonder how much his public image matters to him.
3rdand12 Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 You and me both. The ROC is full of apologists for that cheating franchise. Hey !
Augie Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) I do want a chance to pummel him, at least once. But I also want to win. So, I'm torn. Still. I stay with 4 games. Edited May 9, 2015 by Augie
The Wiz Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) Hey ! It really is. I can't go a monday without hearing about the Pats** during football season. At one point I made myself pretty involved with their roster. Most people don't know more than 10 players on the team they support. Edited May 9, 2015 by The Wiz
3rdand12 Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 i have always always been all about burning those witches. We could drown them but they would float as they are made of wood. so burn them. apologist my arse. all my work Buddies, Cowboy to Steelers fans dislike the Pats too. cheating wooden witches.
BuffaloBaumer Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 When he does get two games, it SHOULD mean the Bills have meaningful games in December.
Wing Man Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Hey, you cheat in a playoff game, get suspended for four playoff games.
dhg Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 i think you hit it.. he is such an egomaniac that it will cost him.had he just been forthright, cooperative, as many have said, i think the punishment would be less harsh .. but given the fact that the organization has caused the league some cred problems, and now brady being essentially a richard about it all.. you got to come down. Bingo!
Ted William's frozen head Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) Supposedly Brady is being suspended according to the NY Daily News! Looks like they are tying to decide on the length. Personally, I think its a little wishy washy to suspend when the findings were "more than likely" or "probably knew", but love the Pats drama none the less. I still feel like the offense was minor in the first place, and a fine is more appropriate...but I would assume the suspension is not going to be about the actual air pressure in the footballs, but more about Tom not being truthful about what or who he knows. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/myers-roger-goodell-suspend-tom-brady-deflategate-article-1.2215881 If you stood Tommy in a corner for 10 minutes, he would go batshit insane........... If you stood Tommy in a corner for 10 minutes, he would go batshit insane........... I play 'pitch, and catch' with a couple of guys at work. (I'm good for throwing a 25 yard spiral at 61 years of age) :-) I keep the ball underinflated nowadays, because it's easier to throw, and *catch*. I have a permanent injury to my right *middle finger* because a well placed, properly inflated ball crashed down on the very top of that finger back in 2004. (The finger is bent, forward, which may be an advantage in certain situations) An underinflated ball would likely have meant that the ball harmlessly bounced off of *that* finger. Brady is lying through his teeth. Period. *SUSPEND* NOW. Edited May 9, 2015 by Ted William's frozen head
Kelly the Dog Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) I think it should be 4. I could see 8 though. I agree. The act of what he did was cheating. I don't think it had anything to do with winning games. But that is just because he is great with or without cheating. He wouldn't have done it though if he didn't think himself it gave him a slight advantage. It's not like he didn't understand the rules. If he cooperated I'm not sure he should even be suspended. It's such a small thing. But the fact he basically spit in the face of the investigation is not a small thing. The integrity of the league is not a small thing. The fact this was a championship game is not a small thing. 8 game suspension is a serious penalty to him and his team. 4 games seems about right. What, to me, is not right would be to suspend him for eight games and then reduce it to four. There is no basis for appeal. That would reek of some kind of nefarious desired outcome for how it looks rather than a legitimate punishment for a violation. Edited May 9, 2015 by Kelly the Dog

Given their rate of fumbling was almost cut in half since 2007, I'd say it had to have had an effect.
Kelly the Dog Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Given their rate of fumbling was almost cut in half since 2007, I'd say it had to have had an effect. I think the fumbling issue is a combination of about 6-8 factors. I'm not convinced at all it has anything to do with deflating balls. It's possible but I won't take that leap. I also don't think at all these guys have been doing this every game for eight years.

I hope you all stop making whining about excuses seem reasonable. Please go to their board if you are defending them . it is sickening to make them seem good, except at cheating and being weak. Their lame owner that poisons my food with toxins like bht and.is as dishonorable of a man in business as he is a weak and lame cheat who couldnt win a fair fight with girl in a hospital bed dying of kidney failure from his lies....... .....hopefully you will all pick a side during the season by making this scum dread it everytime he sets foot inside of the city limits so the players never mention cheating (they expect the fans to have the teams' back on such petty but important matters and will let rex take the high road) and pelt bellicheat and kraft the pedophile with tapes and cds and let him know that we are watching him and we have one of his whistleblowers , the overated but good at foolowing directions cassel, and we will make his cheating asz look as bad as the teams who have figured out his rings are only from smoke and mirrors like the rest of this lame rigged world (like kc last year).. go pegula, go bills, and all those who dont encourage miltant acts to compensate for years of fake wins and stealing our signals by videotape at halftime arent fans of the buffalo bills and the city of Buffalo..

UpperDeck Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 I was originally thinking he'd be suspended for 2 games at most and probably only 1 so as not to affect a divisional game. But after hearing all the clamoring for punishment I'm thinking he gets 8 and it's reduced to 6 upon repeal. I would be happy with that.
