So your team is hanging in there with the undefeated defending champions. Your defense just forced a fourth and goal and the Packers were most likely going to attempt a field goal to go up 10-0. But you, Mr. Suh, wouldn't have any of that. No. You decided to pin an opponent to the turf, grab him by the helmet and bang his head on the ground two or three times. The flag for that little slice of delta bravo-ness had not even hit the ground when, as you were turning to walk back to the huddle, you decided one personal foul was not enough. So you went ahead and stomped on the guy's arm which led to two things: 1) the Packers received a fresh set of downs on the two yard line and punched in a quick touchdown and 2) our best defensive player got his behind ejected from the game.
Being down 10-0 at home would have been easy enough to overcome if the offense got on track. But going down 14-0 because of a dumbass move like Suh's put the death nail in the Lions today.
Nice going, Suh. Real nice.
Oh yeah. Way to try to explain your actions as "I was losing my balance". What a crock. I have defended you all this time as a tough, nasty but not dirty player. Way to prove me - and thousands of other Lions fans - wrong.
Maybe Subway, Omaha Steaks, Nike, Chrysler and your other sponsors will fire you as their spokesman. And then maybe you can come back to earth and realize that you can't keep playing the way you play. You cost your team the game today. I don't wanna hear about anyone else's poor play. The Lions were going toe to toe with the Packers right up until you decided to be a tough guy.
I bought my boy a big #90 Lions jersey for Christmas. Good thing I still have time to exchange the thing for another player's.
Enjoy your suspension. You deserve it.
