[QUOTE="Bogart, post: 406625, member: 3900"] I don't think the Lions a dirty team, and I think they get a lot of flak just for being physically aggressive, which should be something that every fan should want their defense to be like. Some of the greatest Super Bowl defenses from decades ago would be called "dirty" today thanks to the rules that favor the offense, that's something to remember. If this Lions defense played in the 1970's or 1980's, they wouldn't be getting any flak at all for being physical, cause back then it didn't matter. I have to say I do think the Lions got wronged for all those fines in the Bears game. They fine Suh and Nick Fairly for pounding on Cutler, but no fines for Peppers or anyone else. Which in today's league if you get hit too ******* a sack and you're a quarterback, all you have to do is whine like a ***** (Jay Cutler, Michael Vick, Mark Sanchez), and you will get pampered with flags. (Even without that, I see it many times there's flags everywhere just over touching the quarterback. Think back to the NFC Championship in 2009, and many of those penalties against the Saints for roughing up Favre kept those drives alive for Minnesota.) If I call the Lions a dirty team for being aggressive and physical to the quarterback, I would have to also call Minnesota that for Jared Allen, and Chicago for Peppers, and Pittsburgh for their constant aggressiveness, and the Saints after they successfully gave injuries to two quarterbacks in their Super Bowl run of the 2009 Playoffs. They aren't a dirty team, just physical, and it's going to be a challenge for Rodgers and our offense. [/QUOTE]
