Suh is a disgrace.
November 22nd, 2012 at 1:38 PM ^
That doesn't excuse it, but many players do what Suh does.
November 22nd, 2012 at 2:19 PM ^
They know enough to do it in the pile though, not in the open on the quarterback. Wouldn't be surprised if he's gone for another game given the NFL's emphasis on protecting the QB.
November 22nd, 2012 at 1:39 PM ^
I am a Lions fan and I hate watching Suh. Too much dirty play, it's terrible.
November 22nd, 2012 at 1:44 PM ^
Those side-arms are working well.

Listening to these talking heads calling Suh dirty makes me sick. He's a tough football player and that's it. They are completely buying into the new wuss-ified NFL. "Oh, that tackle looked mean.... $75,000! Now do you want to buy this 'Ultimate Hits' video from NFL.com? It's only $19.99!"

Let me guess... west side of the state... Packers fan?
Oh, nevermind, from Indy so a Colts fan. What the new NFL rules (which HEAVILY favor offenses like yours) and hurt teams who actually like to play defense and tackle aren't being enforced even more to allow even more rediculous passing statistics? Sorry, some fans still like to see smashmouth football, not a bunch of track-stars wearing "Wedding Dress White" uniforms prancing around the field trying to get 500 yards passing a game while missing 1/2 their tackles and trying to win games 48-42!

Are you actually trying to make the case that he's not dirty, given his history? There's a lot there to excuse. I agree with the point about the hypocrisy of the denunciation and glorification of violence by the networks and the NFL, but this is a different issue. Usually, when someone wins that players' vote of dirtiest player in the NFL, it's because they're ... a pretty dirty player.
November 22nd, 2012 at 2:34 PM ^
Players' voted that Hines Ward was the league's dirtiest player for like 3/5 years for a period. Why? Because defensive players didn't like being put on their butts. Same here, he's a dominate player who puts other players on their butts. I doubt that crotch "kick" was intentional, he was being swung down to the ground at the time and would've had to have had amazing body control to do it intentionally.
Here's Jim Rome's take on Ward: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9UVpEvuc4M

We all know Suh has made some dirty plays in his 3 year career, but half the plays they showed in that montage at the half were not dirty at all. The media likes to pick on the guy a little too much IMO.
November 22nd, 2012 at 2:39 PM ^
The anti-Suh circle-jerk is in full effect.
November 22nd, 2012 at 2:50 PM ^
WHAT AN IDIOTIC GARBAGE CALL FROM THESE IDIOT OFFICIALS! THREE POINTS OF HIS BODY WERE DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I HATE THE NFL SO MUCH, GOODELL CAN GO DIE WITH HIS DAMN NEW RULES AND THESE TERRIBLE OFFICIALS!
Give me college football anyday, I am fed up with this increasingly shoddy league.
November 22nd, 2012 at 2:52 PM ^
November 22nd, 2012 at 10:25 PM ^
Slurp.
So are the Suh apologists.
November 22nd, 2012 at 2:51 PM ^
November 22nd, 2012 at 2:51 PM ^
What is the point of replay?
November 22nd, 2012 at 2:51 PM ^
November 22nd, 2012 at 2:53 PM ^
Replay rules are fucking stupid.
November 22nd, 2012 at 2:53 PM ^
How is that not a reviewable call??? We must have the replacement refs doing this game.
November 22nd, 2012 at 10:26 PM ^
Scores are AUTOMATICALLY reviewed. They cannot be challenged.
November 22nd, 2012 at 2:53 PM ^
Was the problem that he threw the flag? Somebody please explain this to me
November 22nd, 2012 at 2:54 PM ^
because Schwartz threw his challenge flag...which is a penalty, so it negates the automatic review from upstairs. STUPID RULE!
November 22nd, 2012 at 2:56 PM ^
November 22nd, 2012 at 2:55 PM ^
Otherwise we'd see some really bad officiating on the field.
November 22nd, 2012 at 2:55 PM ^
November 22nd, 2012 at 2:55 PM ^
WHAT THE FLYING FUCK.
November 22nd, 2012 at 2:59 PM ^
November 22nd, 2012 at 3:00 PM ^
I have an awful feeling like that flag is going to cost us this game.
November 22nd, 2012 at 3:01 PM ^
is one of the reasons I absolutely loathe the NFL. This wasn't a flukey call...it was WRITTEN IN THE RULEBOOK that way. How can you give a team a touchdown they didn't earn??? Unbelievable.
November 22nd, 2012 at 3:03 PM ^
November 22nd, 2012 at 3:11 PM ^
to complete lunacy, for sure.

Bell is reppin Wayne State...Love that
November 22nd, 2012 at 3:19 PM ^
Why isn't anyone else calling Schwartz a dumbass? He gave the Texans that TD not the refs. How does an NFL coach not know the rules? Especially after a similar play happened last weekend in a different game.
Plain and simple Schwartz is an idiot and cost the Lions that TD.
