Spot on with a lot of your comments, especially the Haley trade. I even posted the same thing stating this would be a HUGE bad move. I'll even go as far as to say, Aldon might not get any game suspensions. Goodell said himself during an interview (far from quoting, but you get the idea), game suspensions are not for punishment, but for helping a player have time to rehab physically and mentally. Aldon voluntarily took a 5 game rehab/suspension on his own, and will keep this in mind.

News has been disheartening, but it won't matter come July. GO NINERS!!!
of course this is the truth. i was very proud of the team for never becoming a house divided last year with injuries and aldon drama and I am sure we will not now. in regards to player moves we have made, signings, people we have not signed, people we have extended , its all been good. excited for the draft, and to see what we have for a team in may. very excited to see the hurt kids from last year and to see the great in squad competition for cornerback spots. sure i b***h and moan and whine a bit but nothing that has occurred in the last few weeks off the field has tempered my outlook for the upcoming season

I would be kinda surprised if he isn't suspended at all. His legal drama would have to play out perfectly for him, I hope you're right though man.

I agree. Nothing has tempered my expectations. We still need to fight for HFA in the playoffs. That's the goal. We'll probably take a little step back in terms of defense, but our O will be better with more health early on.

He may have skirted a suspension last time, but this incident will definitely land him at least a 4 game suspension.

Plus we have 11 picks in the draft, including 6 in the first 3 rounds.

Culliver's incident is the only one I have a problem with, the rest I could care less. Aldon 25 yrs. old, likes to party and do dumb things, shocking.

Unfortunately, I have to agree. I can't see him dodging a suspension this time. If he does, wow, that'd be miraculous IMO.

I am still awed by the the team winning road games twice to get to seattle and then come two inches away from the super bowl. if you are not proud of that well i just do not know. i think we will be double tough on defense despite the loss of bowman and who knows with aldon. i have full confidence for the other guys to come in and be more than respectable. who knows about our corners but i think it will be fun to see it unfold

Nothing wrong with a little optimism in the face of the current storm.
One important factor not mentioned in the original post is the opening of Levi's Stadium -- which will be a veritable font of additional excitement, good coverage, and potential advantage this year. Something to look forward to.

This whole offseason is playing off like the beginning to the f**king 1993 Dallas Cowboys America's game episode.

Suspended for, um, pissing off the TSA?
