I would not have had a problem had they not suspended him in the first first place, because it's kind of a judgment call. But it is shocking to me, and complete bullshit, that the suspension got overturned. I can't imagine what grounds they would have to overturn it, and a judgment should not be overturned based solely on a differing opinion.

Meh.

Suh hasn't done shit in previous games vs Dallas. And against weaker OLs.

I have confidence we will squash those pretenders.

All in all, if he stepped on somebody else, he wouldn't have been suspended. Quit yer bitchin'.

If they hadn't suspended him in the first place I don't know that it would have been such a big deal. With that being said it was a dirty play by Suh. No question about it. At that point it is just a question of how dirty.

It was a big deal because he stepped on the NFL's poster boy in Rodgers. Same would happen if he did it to Brady.

He could dropkick Romo in the nuts and there wouldn't be a peep.

I don't give a damn if Suh plays we should beat the piss out of the Lions.

As long as we don't have one of those full retard games like we had against the Redskins on MNF, we should walk out of AT&T stadium with an 8+ point victory.

I've got Dallas winning 26-17.

Oh FFS.

Really?

Would it be so hard to just pay him the empty compliment and not give him motivation?

Sorry, but a DL as punchless as ours should not be talking.

Between this and guys like Mincey saying bring on Suh...just makes me facepalm.

Yeah, I'm sure Stafford was going to play lousy until he heard those fighting words.

It's called bulletin board material for a reason. I doubt anyone would make an issue out of things if they didn't think it'd have some kind of extra motivating factor.

You hope to hell he doesn't plow Romo then stand on him, but I think our bullies are up to the task.

What's the rallying cry going to be "they don't think our QB is special!"

It's a playoff game. If you need "bulletin board" material to get fired up then you don't belong on the field in the first place. This statement doesn't even compare to the things that are said during a football game.

We've been wanting nasty on defense for a while now.

Fake it til you make it, and I'm glad Crawford isn't slobbing all over Stafford's junk.

While I'm never a fan of puclically calling players out, he isn't wrong. Stafford has been very ordinary this year.

Suspension reduced to $70k fine.
This, I don't get. If the determination is that it wasn't intentional, why any punishment? Players get stepped on all the time.

If, however, the determination is that it was deliberate, why was the penalty modified at all? Why is the fine more appropriate than a suspension?

I know we all are looking at the Lions and their passing attack as something to be afraid of but is it possible that Calvin Johnson isn't that great of a WR anymore? He is 29 years old. His numbers aren't great this year. He barely surpassed 1000 yards and 8 TDs. Now obviously he missed a few games but in years passed even with a few games missed he would have put up big numbers. I guess it's all relative but I look at Calvin and I kind of wonder if he is slowing down a little and losing some of that explosive ability that he used to have. When I watched that Packers game he just doesn't seem to have the same explosion that we use to see out of him.

I guess what I'm saying is I think this year Calvin Johnson has been supplanted as the best WR in the NFL. That could be by Dez Bryant or Antonio Brown. Hell at this point I'd say Odell Beckham is a more scary WR to face.
