It is becoming a confusing game, though, as Goodell gives us a lesson on how not to manage a complex bureaucracy. One feels like he’s making up these reforms as he goes without any clearly defined long-term plans or benchmarks. So the players don’t know what the refs are going to call, because the refs don’t know what they should call, because the league doesn’t know what it wants, other than “fewer head traumas.”

Suh clearly has issues. I think the Matt Ryan incident was more sickening than this one against the Packers.

Sounds like a nobody trying to get his name some attention

For a real football player, its not just a game. I pay to see real football players. These dreadlock pansies talking about player fraternities, etc…they sound like a bunch of quarterbacks to me. Knock the other guy to the ground until he doesn’t want to get up.

I would bet the next time Suh faces the Packers, there will be a lot of bitterness. It will add to the game. It will be a greater test we now get to see.

I shouldn’t expect most of the softies on these chat boards to agree. Most of you couldn’t even hold my Viking sword. SKOL

The NFL is weak. College is way tougher and hard ass than the weak NFL

 Ehhhh as much as I dislike Goodell much of this candy-*** league stuff you’re belly-aching about is born from collective bargaining. Goodell didn’t call for limited live hitting in TC and practice and bye weeks, the players did. I don’t see too many receivers itching to go over the middle only to have the Reeds, Palamalus and Goldsons turn them into vegetables for the remainder of their lives. Theres a fine line between smarts and toughness in this league. Maybe some of the “old school” ways are just plain retarded. It’s pretty sobering to meet some of these retired players and watch them hobble around because of the hits their bodies took while playing. As a species we should learn from our history and improve. We don’t need to wussify the league but we don’t need to return to the days of chop blocking and blowing up defenseless receivers or body slamming QB’s either.

Hi I’m earth have we met? Nobody here is calling for making this game less intense. The stunt Suh pulled is in no way part of good tough football. This is Busch league, period. Anybody who is still trying to defend this sadsack is an absolute moron.

He needs a coach who can be a good role-model for personal self control – like Rex Ryan.
=====================================

Self control? Edelman would be much better.

This is a joke. The Packers started it and suh finished it. Look at the entire footage, not just what espn shows you.

———————————–

This isn’t the Zapruder film – it’s clear what happened and there’s no defending what Suh did. The entire footage shows two players engaged in a block, then they go to the ground, then Suh goes Suh and gets booted from the game.

Feel free to be an idiot and defend the guy – Detroit continues to show why they deserve this clown and their loser football team.

Not the Pats.

No way.

“Slauson owns team in 2010 against the Lions, ended Staffords and Hansons season with brutal cheap shots.”

I didn’t read any farther in your post, and I’d imagine no one else did either. I’ve read the “sentence” ten times, and STILL I don’t know what the hell you are trying to convey.

If you condone those kind of actions……then I guess you are the league doorknobs…. not doormats…………..see you in Lambeau 1/1/12…..

But the league has been so inconsistent and at times unfathomable in some of their decisions that it honestly wouldn’t surprise me if he walked away with just a fine – no more than $100,000. I would hate to see it and would be disgusted by it. But it wouldn’t surprise me either.

I am already disappointed that the Lions coach didn’t seem to care all that much at his presser. Whatever the league does – the team should punish him harshly as well. Besides just making them look really bad, his stupid, selfish, childishness cost them a game they had within their reach. They were only one TD down with a whole lot of time left and they were doing a pretty good job containing the Pack. They had a realistic shot at winning that game.

And what does this say to the teammates who honestly try to play hard and within the rules? It says, “Screw you, dude.”

What is wrong with you? You like getting 15 yard penalties and having players tossed out for after-the-play bs? Suh got pissed? Then he could have tried for some payback by dominating during the next play. He consistently chooses the cheap shot, with intent to injure path instead.
