Great Article about Suh & Schwartz from Jason Cole.
Highlights-
But it’s also not much of a surprise that the same coach who earlier this season stormed after San Francisco counterpart Jim Harbaugh is now watching his team’s best player face a suspension for losing his cool...
This play was dumb not just because it’s the latest incident from Suh, a guy who is about to significantly add to the $42,500 he has been docked by the NFL in less than two full seasons. Not just because he further affirmed his reputation as the NFL’s dirtiest player (as named recently among his peers by The Sporting News). Rather, it was those two plus the fact that Suh cost his team a chance to win...
This all comes back to Schwartz. He has done much to turn the Lions around, starting with the excitement of a 5-0 start. However, in the moments after Detroit’s first loss on Oct. 16 against San Francisco at home, Schwartz also lost his cool. After a bad exchange with counterpart Jim Harbaugh, Schwartz lost control and chased Harbaugh down the field.
In some respects, it was comical. At the same time, it probably warranted a fine. Now, weeks later, the Lions are playing like a team that doesn’t know how to handle tough situations. What a shocker. Players take their cues from the people in charge.

He'll probably get suspended for that move. This is really dumb. The Lions have a tough schedule ahead. Even with Suh, I thought they would finish 9-7 (wins against the Raiders and Chargers) but now, I don't think they will even get that. That stomp probably cost the Lions the season, and if it is really coming from the top, then Schwartz is to blame for this. The Lions got handed the biggest break ever with Cutler's injury, and in usual Lions style, they will squander it with stupidity.
