I’m going to start by saying I actually pull for the Lions and like and respect a number of their players (Goff, StBrown, Hutchinson, LaPorta).
With that said I am very disappointed with how their fans treated Stafford and his family in the playoff game. And some of their “bite the kneecap” bullshit needs to be put on notice:
NFL needs to make sure they communicate any dirty or sloppy play (e.g. hurting opposing players) won’t be tolerated.
In particular Kerby Joseph’s dirty/sloppy play needs to be cleaned up. He injured 2 premium TEs within 4 weeks last year because he deliberately went for the knees AFTER having a reputation for going for receivers heads. I only played football through high school as a LB and CB but I was never taught to hit the head or go low for the knee. It was face mask or shoulder to the chest. In high school if anyone hit someone in practice at the knee they were taken to task and dismissed from the practice. Play smarter Kerby or play scared because another deliberate knee hit should cost you serious $$ and game time. BTW a real ‘ dog’ goes for the jugular not biting ankles or kneecaps.
Go Rams!!
