Detroit media on the Suh meltdown....

Quote:
Michael Rosenberg of the Free Press had this to say: "And the worst performance of the day came from their best player. Somebody, please tell me: Is Ndamukong Suh trying to win the Super Bowl or the next Ultimate Fighting Championship?
"Suh was ejected for repeatedly jamming Evan Dietrich-Smith’s head into the ground after a play, then stomping on him. It was not just dirty. It was ridiculously stupid."

And Bob Wojnowski of the News had this to say: "It was the most foolish act on a day of many, and it's inexcusable. And frankly, Suh's muddled explanation for his stomping motion at Green Bay offensive lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith wasn't much better. He's brighter than this, and he's better than this. But until he addresses his on-field composure, he'll be perceived as dirty and dangerous, which is unfortunate. It's getting harder and harder to argue it's inaccurate."
Some Packer players reactions...


Quote:
"That's (expletive)," Packers left guard T.J. Lang said, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "He clearly had Evan by the face mask pinned to the ground. His explanation is crap. There's no room for that. It's a dumb penalty. He hurt his own team today."

"I'm not surprised," he said. "He's been getting dumb penalties all year. That's something we talked about all week. They were probably going to do something stupid along the way. They've done it almost every game."

Packers coaches told players all week to be prepared for dirty play from the Lions, specifically along the defensive line that Suh anchors. Suh has been flagged for seven personal fouls since 2010, tied for the most of any player in the league.

"He was lucky I wasn't on the field," tight end Andrew Quarless said. "Lucky. I'm a New York guy. I don't go for that stuff. It was very unnecessary. I can understand you might get in a scuffle, but you never stomp on a guy. That's like hitting a guy when he's down. You don't do things like that. I was this close to running on the field."
