^^Clark, I’m sorry but that is the same biased anti-Lions drivel I’ve been reading for a while. If you were just presenting facts, I’d understand.
The thing that bugs me most are these comments that the Lions were “puffing their chests out” and acting like jerks because they were winning. It’s just not fucking true. That’s the same sensationalized garbage that I’ve seen in these other articles. People stick words and actions in their mouths that just didn’t happen.
Before the season, they talked about how this team is different and could be good?..Yeah so does EVERY frickin team that wasn’t good the previous year.
What is this puffing the chest crap? Schwartz has said again and again and again that they enjoy a win for that evening and then the next day that win means nothing and they move on. He has EMPHASIZED this in almost every interview he’s ever been in and he’s said the EXACT same thing after wins and losses. And it’s passed to the players and I’ve heard other players like Suh repeating the same thing. DO SOME FUCKIN RESEARCH before you put labels on our players. This is NOT Rex Ryan. All this team has done is try to defend itself against this garbage who puts comments and attitudes on players that don’t exist. If anything, these tired accusations are what is GIVING them this attitude since they feel like everyone is out to get them.
When were they “not taking accountability for losing”?? HUH?? Even after the Schwartz/Harbaugh thing the VERY FIRST thing Schwartz said was that he regrets it because it took the attention away from the great game and the players. But NOOOO you conveniently didn’t hear that because you want to attach a label to a team that doesn’t exist. And you REALLY think this team gives a shit about their “public opinion waning”?? REALLY?? Schwart himself has also said he doesn’t care about that either. And I love how you just can’t POSSIBLY fathom that maybe Schwart regrets that incident and won’t be doing it again…no one can POSSIBLY imagine that happening? He’s a young coach and made one mistake and he’s tainted for life? REALLY?
And where were all these unsportsmanlikes and late hits and other garbage against the Lions in the Atlanta game? There were penalties but it was retarded stuff like false starts, pass interference and other things that killed our drives. I was at the game and I WISH there had been more violent stuff because the game was somewhat boring otherwise. The Lions were just bad. And all that crap about them making fun of Ryan was garbage…I already ranted far too much about that. I was there…it DIDN’T HAPPEN.
And you didn’t see Suh nailing QBs and doing stuff when they were winning? I beg to differ. He’s had FAR less of those types of penalties these last few weeks when they haven’t been than earlier in the season. That was the first thing he’d done in a few weeks but nobody cares about the truth, right?
Oh, and how nice of Clark to ignore Suh himself contacting the commissioner’s office himself after the SF game and then him, Schwartz and our GM meeting the commissioner in the bye week to discuss all of these allegations and such. Boy, that’s sure the actions of “dirty” player who wants to just hurt guys. Nice of you to leave that part. See what I mean about sensationalism? This is also just part of the ignorance of the media…I heard multiple national shows who actually thought Suh was summoned BY the commish because they simply didn’t do the research. This garbage goes on all the time and it’s part of how half of this stuff gets out.
And what the bloody hell was Stafford supposed to do? That wasn’t a simple block and you know it. He came at Stafford because that’s what these guys do. Trust me…defenders KNOW that Stafford gets injuries and they’re going after him for it…I’ve seen it game after game…and yet he hasn’t said a thing about because he doesn’t want to complain. Then he defends himself and he’s considered some dirty player because he’s on the Lions since every player is apparently required to make an oath to Satan when they sign here. The dude can’t fucking win. We’ve even got Phishinsky calling him a pussy despite him getting an injury in almost every game and playing through all of them. Yup, don’t let the truth get in the way of your bias.
If you want to rip them for late hits and rough play, then fine. That’s not something you can refute…it’s right there on camera. And again, I don’t fucking care if they’re considered “dirty.” It’s the NFL and they’re all men here…deal with it, you babies! You don’t like it, then do what the Bears did and punch the Lions in the mouth. What’s the damn problem here? As Phishycubs said, they’re not the ONLY team doing this stuff and you guys act like they are! I haven’t refuted anything about the ACTUAL dirty plays like ripping that helmet off…and since when is everyone sympathetic to Jay Cutler anyway?..This is the guy who whined his way out of Denver and bashed everyone on his team and fans on the way out…I’m supposed to feel sorry for HIM? Please.
But all this stuff about the Lions having a bad “attitude” is crap. They’ve had a fine attitude about not getting too up for wins and not too low for losses. Stop sticking words in their mouths. It’s tiresome.
And for God’s sake can we PLEASE actually talk about actual FOOTBALL. Does anyone here actually WATCH games or do we just read negative, biased articles about the Lions?
What the heck about all the injuries? Schaub and Cassel possibly done? Roethisburger and Stafford breaking fingers? Vick might be out with ribs? Holy backup QB, Batman!!
