I must be missing the part where the Pats had a terrible year last season and missed the playoffs.
I wanted Seattle to win last season, and I'm okay with it happening again. Carolina or Seattle winning are the least objectionable outcomes in the NFC. In the AFC, I'm good with Denver or Indy winning.

What?
If they can't draft I assume they built this #1 seeded team through free agency.

Suh isn't getting a big contract with the way he gets penalties but I think him and watt will do fine together

I went to lions.com instead of detroitlions.com and this was the image on the page:
That's the only way to redeem this. I'm expecting Dallas to win though. The NFL lets those breaks fall where they may. Dallas at Green Bay sounds like a gift from the scheduling Gods.

That was a bullshit move by Suh and it deserved a suspension given his history of doing that type of "extracurricular" play. I find it ridiculous anyone is actually defending it as not being intentional much less defending it as being some sort of injustice.
Well, to clarify, I wouldn't say Ted needs to go full Dan Snyder and just try to build a team through free agency. I think he just needs to use free agency a little more to get some talent that compliments the talent he's already drafted. A little bit of jelly to go with the peanut butter, y'know?
Twice
Play better defense. That helps to save your coach.
As for Pugh, I got a laugh at the assertion to move him to guard after he explicitly just said the coaching staff has no intention of doing so. Persistent bunch.He's the right tackle guys.
It's not the first time Reese has forced a change down Coughlin's throat before. My scheme did have Pugh only going to guard for a year though.

He and Watt will end up fighting each other and the entire locker room would be destroyed. Some guys just aren't worth it.
no one is calling it a "stomp", it doesn't have to be a stomp to be an unbelievably dirty play. He put 300 pounds of his weight on a player's ankle on purpose. How is that minor?
You're probably right. I keep forgetting that the NFL doesn't work like the NHL where the head of discipline says that playoff games count for 5 regular season games. Players are rarely suspended in the playoffs.
Suh deserved it for his body of work. It just annoys me to see Dallas getting these breaks. Those were our breaks.

INJUSTICE I TELL YOU! HE WAS ONLY STEPPING BACKWARDS!

Dallas got a break the moment they found out Matt "0-16" Stafford was coming to town
Welp. Unlike Raiola I don't see how the NFL can prove what Suhs intent was. There were numerous, questionable hits on Stafford as well (possible payback) that didn't get called or noticed. Maybe Suh stepped on Rodgers on purpose or maybe he couldn't maintain momentum.
Hope he appeals his suspension and wins. I don't believe in taking out the best defensive player in the league in a playoff game but that just seems to be the luck of our draw as a franchise throughout our history.
Time for the offense to step the fuck up because Lions fans calling for us not to resign Suh and go elsewhere will see how much we miss him this Sunday. =/

It's not minor no matter how anyone tries to spin it on here. Either they are Lions fans or hate the Cowboys so they try to make excuses for that dirty play. If it was the Lions playing the Eagles I'm sure he'd be singing a different tune.

I don't give a shit if Seattle wins if they play the Pats.
He stepped backwards. Twice. And placed all his weight on a back foot that he knew was on top of the opposing team's quarterback. The fact that Rodgers hit and yelled at him and he didn't even break stride or look back tells you that he absolutely knew what he'd done. There was no surprised recognition, no "oh oops, sorry." Just Suh doing what he does and trying to play it off like he never knew Rodgers was there.
Suh is a really great player when he's dialed in, but I will never miss his presence on this team. Goodbye, good luck, and good riddance. Take Stafford with you and maybe we can actually rebuild this team properly.
Yeah doesn't sound good.
Sounds like a MCL sprain to me.
If any hint of weakness we better be smart and rest him.
No reason to risk him. Dude is a future keystone of the team. We need to protect that shit.

Eagles should have handled their business and beat a crappy Redskins team, be mad at Sanchez and company.
If Del Rio stays on they are good on defense. They get Brandon Marshell and T.J. Ward back for the divisional round. People need to realize this team is mostly about D and a balanced offense this year.

Yeah. Belichick probably found it prudent to finally build up the other side of the ball to stem Brady's decline.
I would be extremely happy. Take Suh off the Lions, and Sunday will be a lot easier.

Good job, NFL.
It doesn't matter who the opposing player is, even if it were Brady I would think it was a shitty move.

JJ Watt didn't make the playoffs though

Things could change(depending on the coaching hire), but as of now, I don't think he fits the character of the type of player they want.
Now Al would have signed him, sure.

I think the general consensus is that the first step was 100% accidental, but the 2nd looks really intentional. It's like oh I'm on his foot, let me just stand here for another second and plant the second leg down too while I'm at it.
Oh so you can be successful using free agency for reasons other than depth signings?
