Suh being a prick? Color me surprised.

He's obviously a very good player, but seems to be turning into one of those classless players. Then again, maybe him not giving a fuck is what makes him a great player just like Lawrence Taylor.

Also hoping Stafford's injury isn't serious. Would like to see what he can do for a full year.

Look at the team crying wolf now when it comes to trash talk and dirty tactics. Now that the shoe is on the other foot the big-mouth Falcons want to cry about dirty play and trash talk. No pity here. If you're gonna dish it you gotta take it too.

Ironic that after Suh and Avril bad mouth Ryan while he's hurt, Stafford gets banged up.

I fully expect Stafford to be playing next Sunday.

Not sure how Avril could have kicked Matt Ryan's foot from that far away. He and Suh looked like they got into a shoving battle with Clabo and Reynolds away from the injury. McClure and Roddy weren't even in the same exact area. But this does cut off, so maybe it happened later.

lol

Matt Ryan still comes back into the game after that gruesome looking injury and wins it.

And Stafford's knee is fine, he's day to day. Just like I said last night, he'll play against Jesus himself this Sunday.

the falcons players comments are rediculous especially the comments about avril who was vindicated by the video. The falcons offensive lineman were flopping around like fish atfer the play all game long even when there were not players around them. it seemed as if every other play a falcons o linemen was diving to the ground when a lions player was within 5 few yards of them. they didnt manage to get any cheap personal fouls out of it so im sure the refs were not fooled by any of it. was pretty amusing to hear them whining about dirty play when i got home from the game.

lmao.

It sure did look like Avril kicked him in the ankle, just like the Falcons players said :smh:

Suh letting everyone know that it was all horseshit.

I've seen the video a few times and I don't see what you're seeing? What when he's getting up and his foot lightly taps against Ryan's? Not to mention if that was true you don't think Matt Ryan would have said anything? No, it's all guys that weren't even around the damn play to begin with.

I think he was being sarcastic, Krul.

Leonard Davis and Kevin Smith have signed with the Lions.

I like both signings. Davis adds nastyness and depth to the oline, and I think Smith will be a better rb than Williams + Buckley. I just hope Best comes back soon.

This team is too immature to make the playoffs. They need to get their egos in control and show some discipline. We screw ourselves over too often and end up looking like douchebags. Its also on Schwartz to do something about this and start punishing guys. He didn't even look all that mad at Stefan Logan. At least Raiola got in Titus Young's face after he hit that guy.

 

[DSpydr84]

I'm starting to hate my favorite team. What a bunch of punks. I couldn't believe last night. Throwing the ball at people, starting fights, Pettigrew pushed the ref. Come on, really?

It's hard to root for them anymore. They're like that kid in 5th grade who wants to get in with the cool kids so he starts acting tough but ends up getting his ass kicked.

 

[krulmichael]

I'll say exactly what I said after the game on FB last night. I'm embarrassed to be a Lions fan right now. What do we have a team full of middle schoolers? What an undisciplined team, we don't even deserve to be in the playoff hunt.

And it's certainly not winning over the refs around the league either, I thought that was pretty evident last night. Burleson had THREE...3 offensive pass interference calls against him, all which were the normal pushoff that every WR does in the league, but his were called. Then I saw a few plays where there were blocks in the back, holds, and a very close offsides that resulted in a blocked FG at the end of the half.

Now I'm not saying it's unfair because it's completely Detroit's fault. They want to keep acting like douchebags and hot shit on the field, they deserve it. It's bad enough you do the same stupid shit 2 games in a row, but they're NATIONALLY TELEVISED games and you're going to keep doing blatant shit like that? Absolutely ridiculous. All I see is a team imploding.

lol, at least when Rodney Harrison and Hines Ward had reputations as dirty players, they were on superbowl contending teams.


Funny to see the Lions do this for basically nothing. They're not bad, but not good enough to have it overlooked because they're a top tier team. Seems like a waste, them taking the dirty team route is silly when it's not helping them win.
