Ndamukong Suh: Packers aren’t perfect, Lions are at their level

[.infamous]

Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh says his teammates have no reason to be intimidated about their Thanksgiving showdown with the Packers.

“By all means, do I think our team is at their level, to be able to play against them,” Suh said in a conference call with the Green Bay media. “I don’t see them as a golden-perfect team. Everybody has flaws in this league, but everybody has great things they do. It’s just a matter of eliminating mistakes on our time and on our team and causing them to make as many mistakes as possible.”

Based on the two Packers-Lions games last year, Suh can make a good case about the Lions being on the Packers’ level: The teams played two essentially even games last year, with the Packers winning 28-26 in Green Bay and the Lions winning 7-3 in Detroit. But we have a lot more than those two games to use to evaluate these two teams, and it’s hard to see how any objective observer could say the undefeated Packers aren’t a better team than the Lions.

So Suh’s statement that the Lions are on the Packers’ level would seem to be going overboard. But he’ll have a chance to back up his statement on Thursday.

Now take that attitude into the game and get the W.

I think the Packers will lose at some point it might as well be Thursday

Today, Suh proved he's a dirty fucking son of a bitch. I hate this guy. What a moron.

 

[Hurricane Season]

I wonder if Detroit fans will still defend his actions at this point.

When I try to pick myself up off the ground, I also slam my fist into the ground 4 times, and then forcefully slam my leg to the ground, in the complete opposite direction that I am falling, to regain my balance.

Happens all the time.

 

[RipCity32]

Well he didn't make an excuse as to why he slammed his head, other than the guy holding him down. Either way that was real dumb.
Was also dumb to kick in general, even if he did it for the reason he said.

Basically was fucking dumb either way.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Honestly, I don't think he should get more than 1 game, if he's suspended, but the precedent has been set with Haynesworth. (5 games, I believe)

His was a little different, however.

A hefty fine is coming his way regardless.

 

[RipCity32]

He probably won't be suspended at all. But yeah, a huge fine is coming his way.

 

[elcheato]

The man upstairs is about to hit Suh with a big fine and possibly a suspension.

 

[Pugz]

I'll defend him but not the play he did today. That was dirty as dirty gets.

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

I could maybe see a one game suspension since it's always one thing after another with him..

 

[NV]

Welllll this is awkward..

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

Suh is so full of shit. His press conference is so fucking retarded. Is this guy fucking serious?

Does he really think people are gonna believe he was catching his balance?

Anyone that says this guy isn't dirty is an idiot.

It was hard and didn't feel right, but I was definitely in the Packers corner today.

 

[The Guid]

That's the excuse he used? He could have at least been believable in saying he was just kicking the ground in anger and the Packer's guy happened to be there

No shit... Just listening to him talk makes me hate him more.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

I almost believed him.... and then I remember I saw the replays during the game and called Bullshit.

 

[playmaker7]

He might as well have told the dude "Take this" when he stomped down.

Shit was deliberate. No one would ever come out and say that though.

what a douchebag
