Poll question: Suh got 2 games
Do you think it's too harsh, too lenient, or OK?

1. Three seems right to me...
When he does it again (you know he will) he'll get 4.

2. I find it especially convenient
that this suspension doesn't impact the team's outcome. They are going to lose to New Orleans with or without him. They are going to beat this Vikings (as much as typing that hurts as a Viking fan) with or without him. The Oakland game is HUGE for them and the NFL puts him back in play for that game.

I will be positive and think that they felt the 2-game is what was appropriate and didn't look at the schedule. But I want to be building a tin-foil hat with how convenient it is.

3. Well, if you're going to wear the hat...
I guess Suh planned it this way, so he could get a breather before the playoffs.:tinfoilhat:


I think it was only two games because of his previous proactive meeting with the commish, combined with the fact that his egregious action had no impact on the opponent, who had to be told he'd been stomped. If somebody had been hurt, they would have come down hard on him. As it is, he knows the next time, he's probably missing half a season.

4. The Lions are 2-4 over their last six games.
The playoffs are not exactly a likelihood at this point.

5. I'm much less bothered by Suh's actions than those of Jerome Simpson

6. Really?
He pulled the guys leg out from the pile and then went all "soccer" on the play.

Not even close to what Suh did.

7. Going soccer is unforgivable. That shit is wrong in soccer and we don't need it in football.
And to go soccer after yanking someone out of a pile is an asshole move extraordinaire.

official. Or not just attempting, but in this case by deceiving. It's a whole new level of wrong.

11. It is BS, but that's not a violent act.

13. Agreed. Not a violent act.
But it certainly involved acting.

16. He's lucky they didn't rethink the two game suspension and turn it into more.
What a bloody idiot.
