Suh Suspended According to Schefter/Mort *Merged*

[TellerMorrow34]

While this may be true to a certain extent, the problem is he stepped on Aaron Rodgers who is orders of magnitude more important to the NFL than Suh is.

Fair enough.

 

[Don Corleone]

Well they suspended him but he can appeal it and try to get a lesser penalty this week. They would respond within a day or 2 of the appeal. But man, after his past of doing stuff like this. I seriously doubt he can get it reduced to a fine. I feel confident he will be out against us. That would mean it is likely his last game as a Lion too.

How does a repeat offender with a history of being suspended for this same behavior get it reduced to a fine? That would make the NFL front office look like more of a joke than it already does.

 

[Doomsday101]

Interesting.

No where did I say it was okay.

But way to go way off and speculate to a completely wrong assumption.

No you just act like it. Had this been a 1st or 2nd violation my reaction would not be this way but fact is this has been a constant problem with him and he has been suspended he has been fined and yet continues do it.

 

[Plankton]

While this is a sign that the league has put its best foot forward in the discipline process for repeat offenders, this is a huge step back for the Lions.

That's great. He won't win that appeal with his history. On a side note, I would still take him on our team. I like the nastiness. Just be smarter about it.

 

[LandryFan]

no doubt, his reaction is so unnatural.

You would think a player would be concerned about hurting his own ankle by stepping on something that could cause it to twist yet no reaction by Suh at all

I just walked across my kitchen barefoot and stepped on something slimy and cold and immediately recoiled and lifted my foot and looked to see what I stepped on, he knew what he stepped on thus why he didn't need to look or react

Yes, I also thought that the natural reaction would be to immediately recoil. Any time I have ever stepped on someone's foot or something like that, that's what I did, and I'm pretty sure Suh's reflexes are better than mine!

 

[Don Corleone]

I'd say the 'Scandrik Incident' was about as far from the Suh Incident as you can get. OS was sticking up for a player who got cheap-shotted. The league understands that and is going to allow it if he doesn't touch a ref or take it too far. Its part of the NFL Omertà that actually serves to keep incidents like this down. Player make other players pay heavy prices for cheap shots.

Add that Scandrick didn't get the flag. Garçon did.

I never understand why fans say "I want to face them at their best."

Nah, let's just win. Suh and Fairley being out clearly helps us. It's a good thing, period.

 

[Phoenix]

Suh-spended. Brilliant.

My feeling with Suh has nothing to do with him playing Dallas or not. Injury will happen in this game some very sever and seeing a guy intentionally doing things that can hurt a player is just not needed.

 

[Avery]

What's he going to appeal? Is the conversation going to go like this?

Suh: I didn't mean to step on him, it was an accident.

Cottrell: No, it wasn't.

Suh: I'm serious, I didn't mean to.

Cottrell: Yes you did. Appeal denied.

 

[seamus18]

Regardless of the impact of him playing or not, I am just glad that a player known for doing this repeatedly and putting other players at risk will not be out there to deliberately harm players on my team. Don't need that.

 

[Stash]

Looks like the NFL made the right decision. If getting suspended for a playoff game isn't enough for him to want to clean his act up Suh really is hopeless.

And it hurts his negotiating position on his new contract too.

Less teams will be inclined to pay huge money to a guy who could now face a multiple game suspension at any time.

 

[Tusan_Homichi]

I never understand why fans say "I want to face them at their best."

Nah, let's just win. Suh and Fairley being out clearly helps us. It's a good thing, period.

Exactly. It ain't like he's hurt and we're cheering for his injury. He was just a friggin idiot and is being rightfully punished for it.

So, I say YAY!

 

[JoeKing]

Wow, just heard Mort say the decision on the appeal will be heard no later than tomorrow.

 

[illhurtya]

Suh-spended. Brilliant.

And not a moment too Suhn.

There should be no apologies for any breaks the Cowboys get in the playoffs after going 12-4 and having to play in the Wild Card round.

 

[DOUBLE WING]

Thank God. Screw all this "I want them at full strength" crap. Anything that helps us win is good with me, and I don't want that thug anywhere near Romo's back.

 

[Doomsday101]

I agree, it has nothing to do with Dallas it has everything to do with the player and the HC, if he can't control his players that is their issue not ours

Cottrell: No, it wasn't.

Suh: I'm serious, I didn't mean to.

Cottrell: Yes you did. Appeal denied.

I know you didn't mean that literally, but this is very close to the truth of how the appeal will go down.
