Official Lions week 17 discussion thread

So can/will he appeal and try to push it off until later, or just take the hit now?

He's going to appeal.

Apparently, he's got 6 other player safety violations on his record. And this one was pretty blatant.

But we'll see, the league might want the Lions at full strength for the title tilt.

Dominic Raiola has officially been suspended by the NFL for one game (Sunday vs. #Packers) for "repeated violations of player safety rules."

Raiola cut-blocked and punched a Patriots defensive lineman in the back of the head. A month ago.

Remember the kneeldown play where he took out an opposing player's knees?

He is gong to appeal, per Detroit radio.

To me, the Ansah hit was egregious. Sliding quarterback, a hit directly to the head, QB suffers a concussion as a result. But I have heard nothing about the league looking into that one. I wonder why.

They can only handle so much paperwork.
