Bullet points:

Fairley highly doubtful to play
Raiola coming off suspension, talking about having something to prove just like Suh
Lions different team with Suh in there

Nothing major, but the update on Fairley being unable to play is of note

So a dirty averagish center and an exceptionally dirty very good DT. One would hope that if either of them does something they will get tossed almost immediately.

They want both sides of the ball covered. Equal opportunity leg stomping....

Garrett needs to remind the officials to keep an eye on both these guts before the game and repeatedly during the game

Highly unlikely anything foolish happens tomorrow. Suh has been relatively clean the last year or so until last week's deal. To be honest, I didn't even know Raiola was still in the league until his suspension 2 weeks ago. I doubt he does anything foolish coming off a suspension.

Oh, he will. That's the least of my concerns. There's gonna be some dog cussing going on by Jeezy on the sideline come Sun evening. ...."I promise you that."

Anyone else find it interesting that the league policy is to wipe records clean after 32 games without incident and in Suh's 33rd game, he has an incident? How obvious can it be that he is in total control of his actions and is doing it on purpose. He new another incident within the 32 game span would result in a long suspension so he waited patiently. In his 33rd game, he stomps on Rogers twice knowing it will be viewed on its own. He obviously can turn it off and on when he wants to.

Yes, and that would almost imply that the last incident was premeditated.

Just watched the game from last season. Thank goodness Fairley is not playing tomorrow. Brian Waters held his own vs Suh but Leary did not handle Fairley's quickness and athleticism too well. He was really the only DL to get penetration without the blitz. Another thing to watch is Suh kicking outside on passing downs. Parnell may struggle to anchor against Suh's power.

Cowboys had no commitment to the running game. A lot of their runs were from the shotgun. Not sure if that was due to Murray being injured or not.

Also noticed that Detroit did a lot of run blitzes early with Safeties flying down into the box. Not sure if the same DCoordinator is in place.

Megatron killed us with slants and deep in cutting routes. Church and Wilcox simply cannot miss that first tackle. If so, he's off to the races.

Hopefully the Boys are better prepared with a passing game to counter Detroit's zone D.
