And Big D is the champs of the NFC East if they win one more game.
Who would have thought that The Iggles would lose to The DC Original Americans?

(12,336 posts)In Lambeau, in December, Aaron Rodgers chucking the ball. Detroit is in, but as a wild card. Also, the Pack has some serious payback on the Lions after the beating the Pack took earlier this season.
And Detroit is the dirtiest team in the NFL by a long shot so they need to get their asses kicked.

(56,177 posts)Deliberately hitting Clausen in the head, tackling receivers far before they get to the ball, stomping on a downed players' ankle...they really are filth.

But, he couldn't help himself. Raiola stomped on Chicago Bears defensive tackle Ego Ferguson's leg and earned a one-game suspension from the NFL, according to numerous reports. The Lions will be without one of their best players for a game against the Green Bay Packers that will decide the NFC North title.
Raiola tried arguing that he didn't mean to stomp on Ferguson, but that's pretty hard to believe when you see it.
"It was totally unintentional," Raiola said, according to ESPN.com's Michael Rothstein. "I remember I was stumbling out. I didn't see the end of it. I apologized at the end of the game, told him it was unintentional and we shook hands and that was it."
You gotta wonder if this guy is Ndamukong Suh's roommate or something.

The Cutler news comes via a report from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
So the Bears have an ugly situation that just turned (more) awkward again. Only fitting.
Clausen sustained the concussion on a helmet-to-helmet hit from Detroit Lions defensive end Ezekiel "Ziggy" Ansah, which drew a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty, as Clausen scrambled on the Bears final drive of Sunday's game.

(32,017 posts)ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The NFL has suspended Detroit Lions center Dominic Raiola for one game without pay for violating the league's safety-related rules, meaning he will miss the Lions' NFC North title game against Green Bay on Sunday.
Raiola stepped on the ankle of Chicago Bears defensive lineman Ego Ferguson during Detroit's 20-14 win against Chicago. It was a move Raiola called unintentional at the time, and he apologized to Ferguson after the game.

I thought it would change when that idiot was no longer coach.
I was wrong.

(10,893 posts)guy who Stomper stomped on, I would've seen if I can sue him. He obviously did that on purpose, and his punishment should be more than what he got now.
