Idiot just screwed Detroit's chances and our chances of an easy first game win.

He will never learn will he.



My favorite line has been Caldwell's comments on Sunday.



No I didn't see it but trust me it wasn't intentional. That ranks right up there with the opinions that internet experts have. No basis for my opinion but I will give you one anyway. 😆

Would be interesting.

$70,000 fine. Not chump change.

And now he has to stay clean for the next 32 games to not be considered a repeat offender.

Regardless of the claims presented, I don't accept it was accidental. That said, I can see why Cottrell overturned it... there is nobody past Suh that can actually know his intent. And regardless of the word in the interest of safety of the players, it was in both the NFL and NFLPA's interest to have his suspension overturned.

That said, the next time a defender is levied a suspension for a hit, they are going to have a hard time selling the penalty because intent can be argued much like this. One can see the NFL's next black eye in the PR department coming.. more consistency issues until they get a uniform process into place.

I can see it now......a helmet to helmet hit, "I didn't MEAN to hit him with the crown of my helmet!" No suspension.
A late hit out of bounds......"I didn't see the white line, so i didn't INTEND on hitting him out of bounds"......no suspension.
"Player safety is number one!.........uh.........would you believe, number two?.....number 73?.........."
