2011 Suspended 2 games for stomping on GB OL

Not only stomping, but shoving the OL head into the ground. Stomping is much different than backing up and stepping on someone IMO.

If we are going to title the list as his penalties over the years, let's include all of them in the list. I could be wrong, but it appears you missed a few including a two game suspension and a $100,000 fine so they have not all been small fines only.

I was debating about the penalties/fines against other NFL QB's. I think we can agree that the two dirtiest plays in Suh's career didn't happen against QB's but rather OL.

I know people don't agree and that's fine, but I'll never believe for one second that Suh would have been suspended if he had stepped on Teddy Bridgewaters ankle instead.

Agree that those penalties were worse, but your post just said penalties by Suh over the years. I notice now you only listed actions against QBs.

here's what I think is weird...they suspend him for a game but don't fine him??? Why not tack that on as well? Makes me feel like their reacting to public opinion more than anything else...AND, they're really only hurting the Lions, not Suh. He's the ******* who does this stuff all the time...make him pay if it was egregious enough to warrant a suspension.

I don't think he gets paid for the game.

It will be interesting to hear what Suh has to say about all this once he retires.

In regards to Rodgers milking the injury, yes, he did. But there was also a cyclone basketball player recently, I want to say Kane but it's fuzzy, that would limp down the court on defense at the end of games and then when it was his chance to score on offense he was suddenly healed.

I think you are right, it was Kane. I think he thought that he could get a cheap basket if someone thought he was injured and overplayed defending him so he could have an open backdoor look.

Not saying Suh deserves any benefit of the doubt due to his history (and it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to him playing in New York next year - if they'll have him at this point), but from the picture at this angle it looks like one of the Packers players is influencing his movements, perhaps making Rodgers' spiking much less intentional:

Also, according to Stafford's fiance's Instagram, apparently Stafford was spiked (perhaps intentionally) by a Packers' player. But, because Stafford isn't Rodgers, Manning, or Brady, nobody, especially the League, cares.

Doesn't change anything. The first step could be an accident, but not the second. It's kinda funny that you need Stafford's fiance to help you evaluate the situation.

If there actually was video evidence of someone intentionally stepping on Stafford it would be all over the interwebs and the league would be forced to do something.

If someone spiked Stafford there would video of it. Find it and post it. Chances are that if someone stepped on Stafford they would be given the benefit of the doubt because they haven't been punished 9 times by the league for dirty actions.

Nope. If some other DL that has no previous egregious unsportsmanlike conduct fines or suspensions steps on any of the top 5 qbs, they would get a fine. Suh has shown that fines will not change his behavior, and is now showing that suspensions will not either.

Disagree.

This isn't the first time Suh has done something dirty without getting fined. Guys do it to each other every play, just not to the golden boys.

You mean kind of like how the NFL offices had video evidence of Ray Rice punching his fiance in the face and made it public as soon as they received it? Oh wait - they sat on that video and claimed they never saw it until the casino made the video public and claimed they gave the NFL office a copy of it.

Face it - it's the Packers. One of the NFL's "baby" franchises. They're too busy performing fellatio to that franchise to care if they do anything negative.

Rodgers hate too thick here for a few to debate this much further. This is all about Suh and his lack of respect for ANYONE, not Rodgers.

So on topic with Suh - will be interested to see if the suspension is upheld.
