Of course the hit to Stafford was not flagged. Rodgers and the Packers are the darlings of the NFL. That’s why the Packer offensive line gets away with holding virtually every snap.

I wonder if Suh is aware of the fact that there is holding on practically EVERY single play in an NFL game. EVERY team gets away with it. If they would have called that, you’d get people on here arguing to just let ‘em play.

Was the hit on Rodgers flagrant? Absolutely not. But he pushed him after taking two full steps after the ball was thrown. It was obvious, late, unnecessary and against the rules. The penalty was the correct call to make. Period!!

It’s only a matter if time until this clown is a guest of the state. If he wasn’t a nfl player he’d be there already.

Suh gets away with more garbage than any 2 other players in the league. He must have a friend at the league office.

Here is this guy’s problem. Count the ‘I’s’ in his quotes. Lack of authority from his coach.

What do you mean? He sounds like he could be President of the United States!

BTW, Packers fan and that was not a penalty. It wasn’t a hold either.

Anyone who thinks that Suh wasnt being an ignorant player, watch the play.

Suh took over 2 steps and contacted Rodgers with his hand. Then Suh continued the play by extending his arm in a shoving/thrusting motion, with full intent of knocking Rodgers down. That is why the flag was thrown and that is why Suh has the reputation he has. Suh had complete control of himself and knew exactly what he was doing and what his actions would cause. In this case… 15 yards for being a dummy.

And to you clowns who think that GB gets a break on holding. That is laughable. The referees say there is holding on every play. The severity or duration of the holding is what warrants a flag. So, of course GB gets away with holding, but so does every other NFL team. It just depends on how much you hate GB or love your team to complain about fairness.

Was the hit to Stafford fined? THAT hit looked worse than the Suh hit and was not flagged..

Packers get away with everything and the whole NFL knows it. Most protected team in the game.

hey draftguy, fairley forearm smash was much worse and wasn’t called either. neither guys name is suh. as a packer fan of 57 years, i didn’t think the suh hit was dirty, it could have been worse. as a high school defensive line coach, i stress the one step rule. if you are within one step of the qb when he releases the ball, hit him, if you need two steps, don’t. fundemental football

I’m not surprised Suh didn’t get a fine. Not a terrible hit. I AM surprised that Fairley didn’t get a fine for his late slam of Rodgers that was missed by the refs.

Ya if a Lions player would have done that, it would have INSTANTLY been roughing the passer.

Is it time to dump Goodell and bring Tagliabue back until a replacement that better understands the game/men/players can be found as Tag’s replacement. All this save the QB and childish attitude towards them began with Goodell and has gone a little too far in most cases.

Stafford gets hit like that every week and doesn’t even get a flag. So do plenty of other QBs. The league’s vendetta against Suh is starting to get boring. They’ll have to find another villain pretty soon.

I’m a Lions fan and let me say what everyone will know next year, and what rpiotro1 is learning now:

Nick Fairley is 3 times dirtier than Suh.

He just hasn’t had a chance to show it. YouTube his play in Auburn. Suh oversteps the line and lets his emotions overtake him when playing. Which leads him to do borderline things.

Fairley revels in being dirty. As in he consciously plays dirty. He did in high school. He did it in college. And he’s starting to fire up in the NFL.

He revels in it.

Suh been watching too much Old Joe Greene tape. What’s next, he punches the Oline guy in the nuts ?
Send him to UFC, the big boys know just what to do with him. Tag him ,bag him.

Suh took shoving lessons from Eric Walden in the off season. He heard Walden was a expert

Maybe he didn’t fined because he didn’t rough Rodgers

You weren’t paying attention the game I take it?

There is more way than one to rough a passer, hand to the head leading with the crown.

The ref explained that Suh took too many steps after the ball had been released Which I think was about 3 or 4, that one is the easiest of all to avoid. He couldn’t help himself.

Just like they couldn’t help it with the group celebration or a turkey day challenge flag.

I loved that Jerol Worthy popped Stafford when the Lions got the ball afterward.
Payback hit.

Suh didn’t do anything wrong.

Fairley slammed his forearm into Rodgers’ neck once and then threw him down on his neck a second time. Not flagged but should have been fined.

I’m a Packer fan. I can’t stand Suh. I hate the call on the field. It’s getting to the point of ridiculous that the defense isn’t allowed to touch anybody on offense without having a flag thrown. Stop the madness!

He didn’t deserve a fine, it was a ticky tack penalty but the Lions do deserve last place, its hard to argue that.

By: acmepacker

acmepacker — Sat, 15 Dec 2012 01:32:32 +0000

I don’t think it was an egregious foul that warranted a fine but roughing the passer was fair. Suh had to take two steps after Rodgers released the ball in order to get to him so the push/shove wasn’t necessary and it was hard enough to knock Rodgers off his feet. A flag was correct. Suh was just in a snit because he was held, and that is understandable.

Anyone else ever notice that whenever Rodgers gets hit, he always looks back at the guy, and if he doesn’t know who it is, he keeps looking until he sees the name on the jersey. It’s like the guy is building a personal list of the people who hit him, so later he can say that player is dirty. I’ve noticed it a lot lately, and its something Brady does as well. As if they are saying, hey do you know who I am? I don’t get hit. I respect both of these guys,and think they are great QBs, but they both act as if they need a chip on their shoulders in order to play well. They both want to act as if they are disrespected. Yet they are two of the most respected QBs in the game, and they get the benefit of the doubt on any close hit. Just saying

A further point of illumination not yet stated:

Suh knew he’d be penalized 15 yards, but went ahead and pushed Rodgers.

That’s selfish and non-team behavior.

It’s emblematic of Detroit’s breed of player in the DL.

By: lionsdraftguy

lionsdraftguy — Sat, 15 Dec 2012 00:39:13 +0000

If Suh got fined for “playing football”, Rodgers should get fined for not being a man and taking a hit. If the Packers didnt hold as much as they do, Suh would be in his face even more. THAT is the truth.
