Lions Notes: NFL Reportedly 'Monitoring Fallout' From Ndamukong Suh's Accident

by Sean Yuille on Dec 7, 2011 12:30 PM EST in Detroit Lions Notes

The Lions have released safety Vincent Fuller from injured reserve, as well as running back James Davis from the practice squad injured reserve.
Jim Schwartz met with the Lions' captains while the team was flying back to Detroit from New Orleans, likely to talk about the penalty issues they have had in recent weeks.
Earlier this week, Schwartz talked about the notion that the Lions lack discipline.
The Portland police aren't planning on further investigating Ndamukong Suh's car accident, and although the NFL is reportedly "monitoring" the "fallout," it doesn't sound like the league has any plans to discipline Suh since the police department has essentially closed the door on this incident.
In case you missed it, the Saints employed an interesting tactic to try to shut down Calvin Johnson near the goal line:

It looks like the Saints are trying to block on a punt. I guess that's how good Johnson is, though. It takes (at least) two people to stop him.

Matthew Stafford and Johnson were interviewed by Bob Costas for Sunday Night Football.
Stafford is leading the league in attempts from the shotgun. Second place is Tom Brady, and he has 83 fewer attempts.
Jeff Backus set a Lions record for consecutive starts on Sunday. It was his 172nd start in a row, which broke Dick LeBeau's record.
Michigan State and Georgia will play each other in the 2012 Outback Bowl. These two teams last met in the 2009 Capital One Bowl. Georgia won, and Stafford was the MVP of the game.
The announcers for Sunday's game will be Thom Brennaman and Brian Billick.
Bears running back Matt Forte suffered a grade two MCL sprain on Sunday and could be out up to four weeks.
Vikings coach Leslie Frazier is apparently "optimistic" about running back Adrian Peterson's status for Sunday's game.
Jared Allen's goal for Sunday is to make the Lions miserable like the Vikings have been this season.
The 49ers have already clinched the NFC West and the Packers have already clinched the NFC North.

Sean why don't you post some video of the bad calls on us on Sunday

But lord knows the Lions aren’t helping themselves with those dump flags…

Allen is really starting to be my most hated guy in the NFC north, really Jared, REALLY, REALLY, try to make us as miserable as they have been. Were fucking Lion fans, we’ve been shit on by teams, players, fans, ref’s, Roger Goodell and the 1st time in 10 fucking years some good things happen to this team and the 1st thing he wants to do is make us miserable.

I fucking hope we crush the Queens at home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will also be rooting my jail house boobies off for Denver, if Tebow beats the Bears he’ll have a friend for life………………

What would you expect him to say

He is one of the most fierce competitors in the NFL. This kind of comment from him should be expected. Plus, he is a douche.

I like Wins, Cheese and I also Like Cookies. If you don't. Wow. :P

No truer words have been spoken

Where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket?

Your right he is a douche

That has me worried, him and Gos have a history. I wonder if he’ll try to bait him into somthing dumb

by msivits on Dec 7, 2011 1:36 PM EST reply actions

It is something to be aware of

I will say this, even with their history. Goz has seemed to get the better of him. Most of the damage I remember Allen doing to us was against Backus.

Just send Shaun Hill out to deal with Allen. Shaun's not intimidated by him.

No slogans. Just win!!!

Jared is the only way Minny wins sunday

If he can get 20ish sacks they might, might have a shot.

over statement of the year

If the lions play like they have been, then they might, might be losing by only 14 points at the end of the game

The best part of that .gif:

Even though it’s a run right up the middle, Megatron goes right at those two dudes. That, my friends, is a perfect example of what differentiates him from dudes like Randy Moss, T.O, and most other “big and extremely talented” WR’s in recent years.

Thank you, football gods, for sending us Saint Calvin. I really, really, really appreciate it.

Lions' Cliff Avril says teammate Ndamukong Suh in good spirits despite car accident.

Avril reported that today Suh was back in the swing of things, and that he took part in disbursing the remaining “Occupy Portland” crowd.

The coolest Lion nickname ever belongs to Dick "NIGHT TRAIN" Lane; the BAD-ASS LEO of all-time.

"Everybody just needs to Grow the F__k-Up... PERIOD! I mean, (bleep) bull-(bleep) needs to (bleep) stop... PERIOD... (BLEEPING... BLEEP, BLEEP) PERIOD! That's all I have to say about that."

Excuse me… I have a disease… my name is Gee, and I am a suffering Lions fan.
