Considering the news just released about the time clock screw up, the Lions lucked up on that win!!!! No wonder everyone was wondering what Fisher was doing there at the 2 MW. Dude’s smart. He knew it was messed up. The refs didn’t take the time off the clock! Lucky Lions that day! Lol

On the whole the Lions were very well behaved except for this headbutt considering Janoris, Laurenitus and Finnegan were in everyone’s face after every play trying to bait them. I can’t believe they were trash talking while giving up 355 pass yards.

IMO, Benching him for rest of 3rd quarter is the right punishment. If there is a next time, bench him for the half.

Walk away?

You mean just like Shwartz did after losing to Harbaugh?

“It looked like he was going to do the right thing and walk away, but at the last second he turned and made a really dumb decision.”

Wait wait wait. So after last year’s stamping of the feet debacle, Coach Schwartz still can say with a straight face to his players, Just walk away? The hypocrisy runs strong in him.

Harbaugh will teach you a lesson next week… again

Laurenitis was looking to get into the Lions players heads all game (watch him post whistle on nearly every play he was involved in) we all know about Finnegan and even Jenkins was talking WAY more trash than a rookie ever should (he tried to bait Megatron earlier in the week, to no avail) the lions had 1 personal foul penalty by a player we all know is immature.

Now what he did happens in every single NFL game every week except sometimes the referees catch it and sometimes they let it slide. The rams also got a 15 yard penalty for one of their WR shoving our CB Bentley way after a play yet there is no article devoted to it. The media labeled the lions dirty last year and have been running with it ever since (remember Suh was a darling his rookie year and played in the exact same fashion, minus a thanksgiving stomp) so now we have to listen to this ridiculously over played rhetoric about this team.

Remember last year when Suh “stomped” the packers OL, that same day a packers LB got a domestic violence charge for beating his girlfriend and that story got 0 attention in the media.

I think it’s time for the Commish to step in and drop the hammer since the Lion’s inept coaching department and FO can’t seem to keep their players in check.

Young’s conduct on the field was a stupid over reaction and so are a lot of the comments here.

I guess the Lions detractors are also “who we thought they were…”

Titus Young didn’t do anything worse than the roid raging Laurenitis was doing all game long. Get off your high horses and just admit you are scared to play the Lions so you are desperately hoping they cut players that have talent.

Or just continue to feign outrage… whatever lets you sleep at night.

This type of stupid reaction cost this team dearly last year. Is it possible that the coaching staff is negligent for three years in teaching the players what it can cost a team by acting out in a such a way? Where are the veteran players? Other successful teams in the same situations respond by allowing their opponents to get the penalty and walk away knowing they helped their team. The Lions still need to learn simple lessons.

Broyals is a better WR anyway

@motorcity20…..he was benches for a more.than 1 series. also Broyles wasn’t active for the game, so how could he step on for young???

Why isn’t there an article about the rams WR that took a cheap shot on Bentley in the first quarter? 50 yards away from the play after the whistle, he lays out Bentley. where’s the article???? oh I forgot, only Lions players lose their cool during a game, no other team ever does that…….

Kid has a temper problem. Welcome to NFL rosters. Thank God the penalty didn’t actually hurt the team. Not surprised at the enormosity of the overreactions here in this space, tho. As for Broyles, he was inactive for the game. Suspect he will be again this next weekend unless Delmas and Houston or Bentley are healthy enough to play. Oh, and this Lions fan can’t WAIT for those 49ers next weekend. Last year’s game was a classic, and this should be, too – especially if the Lions DL brings it like they did against the Rams.

Well other than this, I thought we played a nice clean low penalty game.

By: motorcity20

motorcity20 — Mon, 10 Sep 2012 17:05:36 +0000

He was benched, yes, for ONE series. I was waiting to see Broyles move into his slot for the rest of the game but he didn’t even sniff the field. This kid is an idiot.

Coughlin benches his rookie RB for the game after a fumble, and that benching hurt his team. Schwartz benches his player for one series in the second half for costing his team 15 yards and having a history for stupid mistakes. Grown some stones coach, do what’s right and have some teeth to your punishments.

Playin2x…..he was benched. It’s in the title of the article. Whether it gets through, guess we will see. I would be in favor of making him inactive next week and starting Ryan broyles instead.

Is Schwartz the right man for the job? It is obvious to me his message is falling on deaf ears.

Infantile rage is common amongst these overgrown spoiled immature athletes that have been coddled for years. They’re not even smart enough to figure out goading is a strategy to get those penalty yards from hotheads.Cool down, man up, youngblood.

I think the head coach should hold his players accountable .. Bench him and see if he listens, he would be less inclined to repeat if he knows he is going to miss games. Otherwise these “grown men” will cost Schwartz his job ..

I’m honestly quite surprised that Young has ended up this problematic. I don’t recall him having any kind of trouble at Boise State.
