I'll say it gets dropped to zero or 1 game at most.   As much as I dislike the Pats, and think they look at rules as mere obstacles, "More probable than not" might be enough to punish the team through fines & picks, but I don't think it quite cuts it in regards to suspending a player.

more probable than not was the criteria set forth by Goodell. Goodell is the one who heard the appeal

IMO, the meat of the punishment has already happened in the loss of the 1st round pick in 2016 and the 4th round pick in 2017 for the Pats. For us Colts fans, that's a big win. My gut was correct that Kraft would accept the punishment there, and my gut says that Brady will get punished, but it will be a light punishment of 1 or 2 games (most likely 2). The whole debacle will be ended here and both sides will come to an agreement. I think most Colt fans here will be disappointed, but remember this isn't the whole punishment if I'm correct. The draft picks were a big deal. Hopefully the 4 game punishment stands.

They lost the #1 in 2008 too and kept on rolling. It stinks to lose it but it will not change the success rate of this team. Bill will stock pile picks like he does every year.

I hope the suspension was upheld. I can't stand the waffling on discipline that goes on

yeah, they said a big part of the punishment was for his non compliance with the investigation.  if that's true then there shouldnt be much to appeal

Difference being in 2008 the franchise QB was 31. In 2016 , the franchise QB will be 39. Maybe when Brady starts the decline , "Bill's" magic will slip a bit ?

      Do you see any progress with Richardson?

      By Restinpeacesweetchloe · Posted

      I think even though the sample size was small last season it gave people a false sense of where he is. But we also can’t ignore thst maybe the regression is just because of the lack of off season work. If it’s just the lack of offseason work it should correct itself fairly quickly. We should def him settle in by game 6 or 7.

      It just seems like people have sold themselves the idea he was going to come out great this season which I think is and was completely unreasonable.   I hope to see some improvement by the end of the season, but I really don't expect a whole lot until sometime next season. AR has got so much catching up to do.   I mean, there's no doubt AR's struggles are affecting MPJ, but MPJ has never been a great separater and seeing a defender right besides MPJ is probably stopping AR from throwing his way at this point.   Also, to be clear, I'm not saying AR will DEFINITELY be great, but I do think we DEFINITELY don't know yet and people need to be a lot more patient with him.

      They both couldn’t throw or work on footwork. To ignore this could be a possibility with AR is naive. Let’s see where he is by game 7. Especially when it looks like he went backwards  from last season.

      Other than the fact that Luck was a proven NFL QB in his prime and that his shoulder rehab lasted 3x as long.

      His lack of experience was a well-known risk in drafting him and it's a big reason why some were skeptical (including me). On the flip side, it sort of seemed like people disregarded his lack of experience then in favor of things like potential and upside. But now he's struggling and it's showing. If anything, it's validated those initial concerns.   I tend to think WR drops following a QB from college to the NFL says as much about the QB as it does the pass catchers. But they need to do better. I think it will take a combination of improvements from both AR and the pass catchers.   Not sure if something is up with MPJ, but some "regression" this year was very predictable. At one point, I actually thought he might leave in FA when faced with prospect of re-signing with a run-first team and a young QB who is still learning how to throw short and intermediate passes (the area he operates). But he stayed...and I am glad he did. But if it continues, there are going to be a lot of people blaming MPJ, which is pretty ridiculous, when you think about just 6 months ago, people were talking about how great of a contract it was and that MPJ was a legit WR1 with AR.
