Suh should have been fined not suspended...
He was suspended based on his past and because Rodgers cried like a little boy.
The Ford's are 99% to blame for how bad this franchise has been but after watching yesterdays game do not tell me the NFL does not protect certain teams...
Because it was on full display in the Lions Green bay game.. Rodgers was not close to the end zone line on his TD...But LMAO Bell's two point conversation was overturned... I guess only the Lions get called for blocking wrong on kick and punt returns...
Obvious block in the back was missed on the punt return TD by GB...
The Lions are not good enough to win games when the deck is staked against them from the start...
Not one holding called on Green Bay verses one of the best defenses in the NFL...
LOL....

Yeah he should have just falling on him instead of picking up his foot to take a step back to stop his backward movement

You guys need glasses..prescription ones and not the rose colored ones.
Oh my gawd he picked up his foot instead of just falling down what a piece of shit! Suspended him for the playoff game so the lions can't stop the Cowboys run Cowboys better for ratings in the nxt round case closed
Maybe if you watch it in super slow mo we'll find out he actually kicked him the nads!

It was a bonehead move but we have no chance without him Sunday. Here's an article PFT claiming Suh has a legit chance of winning an appeal:
Ndamukong Suh has a chance of winning appeal of suspension
Posted by Michael David Smith on December 29, 2014, 5:55 PM EST
Ndamukong Suh
It’s not a sure thing that Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh will miss Sunday’s playoff game against the Cowboys.
Although winning an appeal of a suspension in the NFL isn’t easy, it isn’t impossible either. Suh will have his appeal heard by former NFL player and assistant coach Ted Cottrell, and Cottrell isn’t just a rubber stamp for suspensions. In 2012, Cottrell overturned a one-game suspension given to Ed Reed for repeated late hits. Cottrell will give Suh a fair hearing.
And a closer look at the NFL’s official statement on Suh’s suspension indicates that Cottrell will consider only the incident on Sunday, when Suh stepped on Aaron Rodgers’s leg, and not any other previous incidents, when determining whether to uphold or overturn the suspension. The league’s statement said nothing at all about Suh’s prior bad acts and focused only on the specific incident with Rodgers.
In other words, to win an appeal Suh wouldn’t have to defend all his prior personal fouls. He would just have to convince Cottrell that he wasn’t intentionally stepping on Rodgers. Or even if Suh can’t convince Cottrell that he did nothing wrong at all, Suh might convince Cottrell that what he did doesn’t warrant a suspension. When Cottrell overturned Reed’s suspension, he upheld a fine for Reed and said that Reed did deserve some punishment for his late hits. Cottrell just thought the punishment of a suspension was too severe. A fine of any more than $22,000 would actually hurt Suh financially more than a suspension, because players on wild card teams are only paid $22,000 for the first playoff game.
And while Suh hasn’t exactly earned the benefit of the doubt over the course of his penalty-plagued career, there are plenty of neutral observers who don’t think Suh was actually attempting to step on Rodgers. Rules experts including former head of officiating Mike Pereira and former NFL official Jim Daopoulos have said they don’t believe Suh was intentionally stepping on Rodgers and don’t believe a suspension is warranted.
Of course, those opinions are far from unanimous. In the letter informing Suh of his suspension, NFL vice president of football operations Merton Hanks wrote that it looked intentional.
“As Rodgers lay on the ground in a defenseless posture, you backed up and stepped on his left leg with your right foot,” Hanks wrote. “You then inexplicably stepped on Rodgers’ left leg again, this time with your left foot. The video then shows that you raised your right foot, applied pressure, and unnecessarily pushed off Rodgers’ unprotected leg with your left foot. Rodgers reacted to your actions by pushing you away with his right hand as he lay on the ground. You did not respond in the manner of someone who had lost his balance and accidentally contacted another player who was lying on the ground.”
The question, then, will be whether Cottrell joins with those like Pereira who believe Suh didn’t intend to step on Rodgers, or whether Cottrell thinks Suh did it intentionally. Cottrell’s decision will have major ramifications for the Lions and Cowboys as they prepare to meet on Sunday.

Look at that Mitch looks tony and I aren't the only fn retards who think this is bullshit
"there are plenty of neutral observers who don?t think Suh was actually attempting to step on Rodgers. Rules experts including former head of officiating Mike Pereira and former NFL official Jim Daopoulos have said they don?t believe Suh was intentionally stepping on Rodgers and don?t believe a suspension is warranted."
Or so they say to play it up for ultimate suspense in the fixed NFL

I`m not being a homer on this one. He was walking backwards and stepped on Rodgers. You`re assuming he did it on purpose!! I`m on the fence with it so I'm assuming also. He was penalized by the NFL PURELY on history and it was Aaron Rodgers...nothing more

I'm not sure I'd believe that.

Stepped on him twice. Don't you notice after the first? It seems a guy would notice.
If this is true the suspension will be over turned if it's upheld then its a big lie

This shows that Merton Hanks doesn't have a clue. No one thinks Rodgers pushed Suh. He slapped him.
The first step only partially contacted him his mometum carried him back another step the suspension should be over turned

Seems. Your words. Maybe he didn`t. And if he does, what`s he suppose to do? Turn to Rodgers and coddle him like a fn baby? Give me a break...

That's what I was thinking too. Rodgers slapped him on the ass like he was a two dollar hooker.
