I think Roger Goodell has already made up his mind.
The big decision won't come until late July, but it's a done deal. Goodell has too much ammunition.
The Commish is going to stick to his guns, and let the Patriots stew in it for the next 3 weeks.
Tom Brady and the Patriots have gotten off to a slow start in recent years.
In the 2014 season opener against the Dolphins in Miami, Brady laid an egg completing only 52% of his passes for 249 yards and 1 TD in a loss against the fish. Home field advantage was not a factor.
In the 2013 season opener against the Bills in Buffalo, Brady almost lost to a rookie QB, completing only 56% of his passes for 288 yards, 2 TD's and 1 Int. His next game against the Jets in Week 2 of 2013 was horrible. The Pats won 13-10, despite Brady's bad performance against Rex Ryan's defense.
Brady threw for 185 yards, 1 TD and had a completion percentage of 49%. His QB rating was 24.2.
If the 4 game suspension stands and Brady gets off to a slow start once again, I don't think the Patriots make the playoffs this season.
They will finish 5-11 at best and end up with a high enough draft pick to replace Brady in the 1st round.
That would be terrifying for Bills fans. Such an outcome would be a blessing in disguise for the Hoody. I wouldn't doubt if Belichick is thinking that it might be in his own best interest to tank the upcoming season given the situation.
He has a built in, guaranteed excuse to suck in 2015, and will use it to draft the one of the best quarterbacks in the 2016 draft.
The last thing Bills fans should want in 2015 is for the Patriots to totally suck balls. I hope the Pats finish 10-6 and fail to make the playoffs.
That would be perfect.
The Patriots first 7 games of 2015:
Steelers
at Buffalo
Jacksonville
bye
at Dallas
at Indianapolis
Jets
Miami
1-6 or 2-5?
3-4, please God!
I don't want the Patriots to be good. I don't want them to be bad. I want them to be like the Bills have been for the past decade plus.
