Suh wins appeal

What happens if he knocks our starting QB out of the game with a dirty hit? Dude has bipolar and he isn't on meds.

He's not bipolar. He's not on meds. He knows exactly what he's doing.

Listening to what the argument the guy who overturned the suspension "Not enough evidence it was intentional" I want to ask him

Why fine him $70k then? For what?

And by the way, nothing can convince me he didn't know he is done the 32-game rule and he has clean sheet now…these guys have agents and lawyers and know way ahead about fines/records/charges

The conspiracy theories are hilarious. This has nothing to do with sticking it to the Cowboys - it's the process playing itself out. Ed Reed had a suspension for illegal hits overturned in a similar manner in 2012 - prior to a game against the Chargers. Note - this happened to a team not named the Cowboys in the past.

Do I think he should have been suspended? Yes. Do I think the league was screwing the Cowboys here? No. The Cowboys still have to line up and win the game, Suh or no Suh.

Moving on.

What's so funny about the hue and cry is that fans on other NFL forums thought Suh was being suspended BECAUSE the Lions were playing the Cowboys and the league wanted the Cowboys to win.

I really don't care. I had no sympathy for the Lions had Suh been suspended, but I don't think his presence is going to make much difference in the end. The Cowboys are going to blow the Lions out of AT&T Stadium and then will shock the Packers. This is a different team, a team on a mission. They won't be denied.

Cowboys - 45 Lions 24

Ndamukong Suh won his appeal; now allowed to play vs. Dallas

I hear that John Mara volunteered to be the special arbitrator in the case.

Oh give me a break. Apples and oranges.

oh that's right, killing someone is actually much worse...

The rules changed they couldn't cite past transgressions.

News to me, why did the Raiola verdict cite multiple safety violations then? Did they change this week?

Because he was fined this year for an offense. Suh went 33 games , apparently the threshold was 32 games including preseason.

Raiola had been warned this season. Suh has been on his best behavior in 2014.

 

[Apollo Creed]

I'm seeing a lot of names I haven't seen before on CZ.

Welcome guys/gals, plenty of room on the bandwagon.

 

[tyke1doe]

When has the Cowboys ever been treated like a ratings darling?

You're kidding, right?

 

[Oh_Canada]

Here goes the "Would you say that to his face?"

Let me gues you ask this question because you wouldn't say it to his face? Or anything for that matter? Why because he is over 200+ pounds?

So it's safe to assume, if he grabbed up on your girl/daughter/mother in your face you would let it be, correct? You would just look the other way? Because you think he is tough? Gotcha

So why do you think the Seahawks would treat a Suh dirty hit any different than Dallas? Where's your precedent since you're are such a clairvoyant? Whose the Seahawks enforcer? Please don't tell me Richard Sherman?

 

[viman96]

time to move on?

If he did that to us aka Romo....you know what would happen? A bunch of yelling, walking up like they want to do something, and that is it. Nobody on this team has the balls to go after a player for revenge, and really try to take him out, even after he did something dirty. Then after the game just, yap yap yap, to the media about how dirty he is.

Dez is probably the only guy that would swing hands, but that is it. Maybe Wilcox or Oscan would fly in, but they don't face Suh every down, so they would have a chance to lay a nasty hit on dude every play.

All Im saying is, he better behave himself if facing the Hawks.

So our players should risk getting suspended for the rest of the playoffs just to get back at Suh. And if they don't, they're soft? No, if they do, they're STUPID. Let the scoreboard provide your revenge.

Hi.

 

[Reverend Conehead]

Disgusting. Thanks a lot, NFL. You just gave the message that players will be rewarded for playing dirty. That 70K fine is like a 70 cent fine to a wealthy NFL player. The league will tolerate dirty play. (Suh and others). It will also tolerate fraud (Ratliff and Orton). Thanks for maintaining an organization of integrity, NFL.

 

[Doc50]

To make it worse, Suh will probably play like a beast. He has a great deal of motivation now.

I don't think so.

I bet he plays like the puss that he is, and our OL plays angry. We will be in an ***-kicking mood.

 

[ragman]

Not surprised. But deeply saddened.

 

[tyke1doe]

So your saying Tyron Smith isn't tough? Would you say that to his face?

Would most Cowboys fans angry with the Suh suspension reversal express their views to his face?

Remember that Jerry Jones almost bought the Chargers instead of the Cowboys. Conspiracy theorists unite!

But seriously we don't need to rely on suspensions to win this game. We'll win. We'll just have to work a little harder at it.
