Comments on today's Lions' game
Didn't get a chance to post up until now. First off, let me just say that what Suh did today was absolutely stupid. There was no reason kick that other guy because Suh had already tackled him down. Maybe he pissed of Suh somehow, but even so it was a stupid thing to do. With Suh getting kicked out of the game, that pretty much ruined the Lions' chances of winning that game. It's kind of sad really because this could have been a really good and perhaps a very memorable game for them, but they just blew it. Next game against the Saints on SNF will give them another chance to prove to a national audience that they're a good team, but if Suh gets suspended, then the Lions could be in big trouble on defense. Does Suh deserve to get suspended? I honestly don't know. Things are going to get really interesting as we come down to the last 5 weeks of the regular season. Do the Lions still have a chance of getting into the playoffs if Suh does get suspended? I guess that will depend on how long he would get suspended for. One thing is for sure: We're all gonna find out together.

What about Nick Fairley? He's no Suh,but he should be more than an adequate fill-in.
Being a Suh fan, YES he should be suspended, IF he's lucky, he'll get severely fined, but I think Goodell is getting tired of Suh's pleas, saying he's not doing things illegal, well today he did.
I would think that Goodell will suspend him for 1 game this time.
IF Fairley is in Game Shape .... he's been getting some reps in the last few games, ya never know, any word on Avril, he went out hurt as well.
And what he will get. Haynesworth got 5 games a few years ago for the same thing....
But Haynesworth had a long history of other things before as well.
Yaz, it's really hard to say, you don't know what was happening to him on the last drive on previous plays.
I'm sorry.I know you're a suh fan but he has a bit of a history as well.he needs to be suspended for more than a game. he just doesn't get it.I blame the coach for this.he's been enabling this kind of behavior and it's costing his team.the team seems undisciplined .again I blame the coach.lions are good and they have talent but that won't mean a thing if they're immature and undisciplined.

The Giants play UP to tough teams and down to teams. I will say the Giants...especially since they will be in NY. I WOULD say my Raiders will too, very similar to Giants, they play up or down to teams....but that game will be their toughest, especially after a pissed off Packers team after a loss will be playing in GB.
The Raiders will either will a close one or get totally blown out....
What did Suh and Goodell talk about in their one-on-one meeting in NY earlier this month, the weather??
If the NFL is serious about actions such as Suh's, Hayneworths, and so on, they need to come down hard. Suspend him the rest of the year. That will send the message the NFL is serious about actions such as these and they will not be tolerated.
I think that's a bit much.2 games would be good.you need to give the guy an opportunity to rectify himself
The reason I like suspending him the rest of the year is two fold. One it will drive a point home to him personally and financially and hopefully teach him some humility. His explanation after the game was almost as bad as his actions. He just doesn't get it. And, if he doesn't believe he did anything wrong, isn't that a huge red flag for his future? Better to take strong action now and hopefully teach him a lesson to save his career. The second reason is the impact it will have on his team. His teammates should have a much stronger impact in what they seem to have. Maybe this will impress on Suh the importance of team and maybe to his fellow Lion's that they have a role on maturing this guy. Just my opinion.
I thought that Haynesworth should have been thrown out of the NFL for what he did, but he only got 5 games.
I don't believe Suh's was as bad, but along with his after game quotes I believe he needs to be suspended. I'd say 3 games.

Your not REALLY gonna compare Suh whose been here for 20 minutes to Haynesworth who has a long and distinguished career of doing these type of things ... are you .... Really ?
20 minutes?? He's done a lot already in his short time in the league. From ESPN Stats & Information:
If/when Ndamukong Suh is fined for Thursday's stomp on Evan Dietrich-Smith, it will be the fourth time the NFL has fined him in less than two seasons. The other three fines, totaling $42,500 were all for hits on quarterbacks, with two of them coming in the preseason.
Ndamukong Suh was called for his 3rd personal foul penalty of the season and his 7th since coming into the league last year. That's tied with his teammate Cliff Avril for the most in the NFL since 2010.
You have NO IDEA what was said or done in the Locker room afterwards ...
Also, it wouldn't surprise me to see Suh come out and apologize and state that he feels different now that he's seen it on film .... then again, maybe not.
He definitely needs to grow up
