&quot;Suh is aggressive, young, and excited, and anyone that says it’s not a goal to get to the QB is full of sh*t!&quot;

Of course his goal is to get to the QB. But like it or not the NFL has rules about hitting the QB. Suh is the post penalized personal foul player in the game. Eventually that might cost you a game. Maybe a playoff game...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Baaaaah, baaaaah, all you Detroit haters are a bunch of sheep. 

I&#039;m a Tampa fan, we lost to both Detroit and the Bears so I don&#039;t really have a horse in this race. Still, I don&#039;t get all the hate on Detroit. They went 0 - 16 a few years ago, so I&#039;m kinda glad they&#039;re getting attention for being a better team. 

Ya&#039;ll sound like a bunch of pencilnecks upset because your betting pools are being screwed up because the Lions are doing some damage for once.

That said, if your DBs are calling the QUARTERBACK of another team dirty, then you know you&#039;ve got some issues. I didn&#039;t watch the game, but I saw the highlights, and Stafford was definitely being held by the DB and pulled him down because he was frustrated.

Calvin Johnson took two nasty shots in that game. Cutler almost got his head ripped off. There was a fight after the Stafford thing.

To me, all this looks like is a tough division game which the Bears won. Congratulations to both teams, you&#039;re 6 - 3. Quit crying and move on...SMH]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m a Lions fan, have been since I was old enough to watch with my dad. I rooted for them the 0-16 season, I mean, we needed some kind of record. Now all of the sudden they play better and everyone calls them dirty? Seriously? Suh is aggressive, young, and excited, and anyone that says it&#039;s not a goal to get to the QB is full of sh*t! Sorry Stafford took out one of your defensive players, tell him to grow a sack. You dont go directly after the QB if he does something to you, you wait to sack him, which is what most people would do. It wasn&#039;t a dirty play unless we&#039;ve come up with more new rules to make football even less of a manly sport and more of a b*tch sport. 
Schwartz shouldn&#039;t have let Stafford play, Hill should&#039;ve been in, he doesn&#039;t have anything broken. We got our azzes handed to us, good for you Chicago, we beat you, you beat us. Get over it. I didn&#039;t hear chanting at Ford Field of &quot;Chicago Sucks&quot; like I heard on the TV for the Bears fans screaming &quot;Detroit Sucks&quot;. Maybe they should class it up too, seeing as how everyone thinks we need to. Sorry we finally got a team together that can play, doesn&#039;t make you dirty, makes you a football team. As for the crappy few games we have had, sh*t happens, it&#039;s the first year we&#039;ve actually gotten something together now that the DB Millen is gone. They&#039;re not going to win every game, we didn&#039;t expect them to. Jump off the bandwagon if you jumped on,  if you are a real fan, you will stay with them through the good and bad. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and almost everyone is going to defend their own team. Here&#039;s to hoping someone stops Green Bay from running over the division and going 16-0, whomever that may be.]]></description>

How is Cutler a crybaby? 
****************

As I recall, during the offseason and lockout, it was the Bears fans and Chicago press calling Cutler a wimp. 

Earlier this season, when I watched Cutler take a pounding on Monday night in Detroit, &quot;wimp&quot; was not a word that crossed my mind.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear goodness, the majority of people don&#039;t have a clue on what a LEGAL hit is in this league.  Peppers hit Mega in the shoulder pads, no matter if it was a clothesline tackle.  Awkward doesn&#039;t mean illegal. Legal!  Briggs led with his shoulder and made contact with said shoulder with CJ&#039;s shoulder.  Legal!  Cutler gets his helmet ripped off after the play.  Illegal!  Stafford should&#039;ve been penalized, same with whatever Lion tackled Jennings well out of bounds.  The refs completely dropped the ball.]]></description>

Bears fans are whining, and making excuses, about their defensive back getting beaten up by a QB - that&#039;s hilarious. 

See you in the wildcard game, which will be played in Detroit!]]></description>

Nov 14, 2011 8:01 AM
The Lions are taking on the gender personification of an angry feline, if you get my drift.

Da Bears look like a team that will be there till the end. It should be a huge game for both teams in Lambeau on Jan. 1.
-----------------
Yeah I get what you are trying to drift but you are confusing a feline cat with a female dog? Moron

2nd the Lions play the Pack on Jan 1st, not the bears..,.

To everyone else whining/hating on the Lions....

I am a lifetime Lions Fan.
The Lions beat the bears at home.
The bears beat the Lions at home.
The Lions and bears are tied at 6-3.
The lions have the current tiebreaker.
The Lions have had some &quot;rough&quot; games this year, none rougher than Sunday; but even good teams (I said good not great) lose bad once in a while on their rivals home field.
Do the Lions lack a running game? Yes (would be 8-1 if they did)
It&#039;s one week, a lot can change, it&#039;s the NFL , either team could go anywhere from 6-10 to 13-3, but both will end up somewhere in between.
Are my lions dirty? Yes.
Do I love that? Yes.
Do I care if people hate them? No
The fact that you all hate them tells me they are on the right track.
I think they should just own it.
If you don&#039;t like it? Tough, you have no choice.
You may beat the lions, but obviously you are proud of it, so what does that say about you? Would you be on here bragging about beating the 0-9 colts? If yes... You bully, congratulations you are no better than us!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lions fan. Sigh.

LOL at Moore calling that tackle an attack on his livelihood.

Don&#039;t think Suh&#039;s tackle on Cutler was any worse than Peppers&#039; on Johnson. Fairley was clearly excited he touched a QB for the first time and it was a clear penalty.

I think the Lions image as dirty is 80% media hype, but I don&#039;t mind. I don&#039;t understand all this talk about the annual Lions collapse, as if we&#039;ve ever been in a position to collapse in the past decade, outside of 2007.]]></description>

I would be so embarrassed if that were a defensive back on my favorite team whining about being thrown to the ground by *a quarterback*

Let&#039;s repeat that for emphasis *a quarterback*, you know, the guys who wear skirts on the field.

Moore:  You play in the mother-freaking Black and Blue Division.  Shut the hell up before you embarrass the Bears even more.

		<description><![CDATA[As a Bear fan, I loved the game.  Yes, because we won, but more than that.  That game was like the Bear-Packer rivalry back in the 80&#039;s.  

I agree players need to stop whining to the press about cheap shots.  Stafford was a punk for what he did.  It wasn&#039;t a block, it wasn&#039;t a push.  He was mad because he just threw another interception, so he grabs the helmet of a defender and twists it around.  I don&#039;t care, IT&#039;S FOOTBALL.  So, he got what he deserved.  Moore went after him.  That&#039;s how things should be settled, not this banter back and forth through the media.

BTW - Briggs hit on CJ was a text book shoulder hit.  It&#039;s obvious he led with the shoulder and not the helmet.  This is one penalty the NFL really needs to look into.  Ball carries lower their head on purpose now knowing the defender can easily get called on this.  Urlacher was called on one just like this earlier in the season.  No fine, just like no fine on Briggs.]]></description>

You &quot;fans&quot; whining about &quot;dirty&quot; play should go back to watching soccer. There are no yellow cards in this game. It&#039;s professional freaking football.

Why are Packers fans chiming in here? &quot;If they try that with Rodgers, I&#039;ll come down out of my deer stand and throw a PBR at the tv!&quot;  Second lowest collective IQ of any fan base.

		<description><![CDATA[There&#039;s always some clown bringing up Cutler leaving the game, and now its a Detroit fan.

Last I checked, Cutler seems to get wrecked every game, legally, and vs Detroit-illegally, and he just keeps getting back up. That would lend one to believe that the whole &quot;he quit&quot; thing is bs, and he was legitimately hurt, wouldn&#039;t you say?

Stafford should also be happy, as this is the first time in three years that he made it out vs the Bears in a horizontal position. Last two years he was put out by them. 

The enemy of my enemy is my friend now. 

I&#039;m really going to enjoy watching the Packers put about 100 on the Lions on Thanksgiving, if they start pulling that stuff on Rodgers.]]></description>
