When the Lions head to Lambeau Field for the NFC North championship game next week, they possibly won't have veteran center Dominic Raiola. Raiola is facing discipline in the wake of his stomp on the leg of Bears defensive lineman Ego Ferguson.  That discipline could include a suspension. "I want to emphasize that our number...

As the article says, even if he us suspended, he has the right to appeal pushing off possible punishment and may get to play in the Packers game either way. And if he is suspended they have Travis Swanson, who was pretty good in college and has started 4 of the last 6 games anyways.

Yeah Raiola is a total jerk (putting it nice as possible), but I don't think that should be news to anyone that's followed Raiola. He's been a cheap shot artist and smack talker for years.

As far as who's missing, I'm more looking at their RT spot... they're top 2 RTs are on the IR and they're down to their 3rd sting RT to go up against Peppers (though I think that was the case last time the Packers faced the Lions as well).

Looks like it's going to be RT Cornelius Lucas, all 6'9" and 325 lbs of him... and yes he might make 6'7" and 287 lbs Peppers look smaller. But Lucas has only started in two games, both Bears games.

Though sometimes when they're really tall like that, sometimes the best thing is a shorter guy that he has trouble reaching and can use leverage to get under him and bull him back. So I might work Neal/Perry on that some.

These guys scare me, as they will probably go after Rodger's calf. (No, not his baby cow).[grin1]
I'd expect Donkey Kong Suh to try something dirty. That's how they play.

Hope the guy's up front will keep him out of harms way, think they will and Arid will do his moves away from Shut I hope.

He's lost his appeal and is out for Sunday. That's exactly the kind of thing Caldwell was brought in to stop in Detroit. likely it will cost Detroit the division as I think they will have no running game and we will get much better pressure on Stafford up the middle.

Be ready. Bulaga needs to keep his head on a swivel. And man up. Hit these guys hard. Take a shot or two if you get one.

If these guys are focused on taking shots, they're less focused on playing football.

The best way for the team to POOP themselves because of physical play by the other team is to be worried and concentrate on it, rather than on themselves.

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
