Are you f'ing kidding about that play? He was going for the sack and clumsy Gabbert's legs got caught under him. You're crazy if you think that was dirty. Grow up.
Congratulations on the win

I just watched it again. I could go either way I suppose. But I do think it was a pivotal play.

Do your own soul searching. We kept Jesus Gabbert under 50%. And ruined his little non-int record.
Agree with the first two paragraphs.. but in no way was Suh's hit dirty, don't take away a great effort by a great player! There were alot of questionable calls in this game, MU's left guard could have been called for a hold on almost every play, his tackles were in the double digits... The helmet to helmet contact on Lee was a legit and obvious call.. but Suh's tackle, r u serious??? in no way was it dirty or illegal.. is ur name by chance Mr. Daniels?? (referencing the spitting incident last year)

Um, the whole idea on defense when tackling usually to tackle someone as hard as you can while keeping it legal. If Gabbert wants to make 99.99% sure he doesn't get hurt in the future when a big lineman is coming after him, he should just fall down before they get there. If he stays up and tries to make a play (as he should), then he has the chance of getting rolled up (or squashed) and hurt. It's a f'ing contact sport and it happens. QQ a little more.
The reason I'm not sold is that Suh knocked it loose. Did he not know he knocked it loose? Did he not feel Gabbert lunge for it? I've played enough to know that you usually know when the ball is loose, especially when you knock it free. No, I think he was sending a message. Some people think that's part of the game. I don't.
But this is much ado about nothing. I apologize for making it an issue.

Doc, much respect for coming back and posting (and quite a long, good post at that) so shortly after that tough loss. That said, you are 100% wrong on the Suh play. Watch it in real-time. He was just swinging him to the ground like you would do on any tackle where you are behind the guy holding him around the waist. The fact that Gabberts leg got caught was just unlucky. Suh was just swinging him to the ground. He also had no idea the ball had come out because his face was right up in Gabberts lower back. Gabbert saw the ball come out, and instead of just continuing to the ground as Suh swung him, he tried to fight back towards the ball. This is when his lead leg (the right) hit Suh's left leg, and got caught under Suh's thigh. Absolutely no way Suh could have stopped the swing 3/4ths of the way through at that speed when Gabbert's leg got caught at the last millisecond. Watch it again tomorrow and I think you'll agree.

I'm sorry, but dogging Suh for a dirty play is kinda dumb, in light of how many personal fouls MU had.
Not too mention the "class" fans chanting "Bullsh*t" when they got a bad call.

Somebody can correct me if I'm wrong, however....
After watching a bunch of replays of the horse collar penalty against Suh, it looked like he pulled him down by his jersey. If he had his hand inside Gabbert's pads, then it lasted for less than a half second. Am I the only one who noticed this?

It looked like all jersey, but it looked high up on the jersey. I don't know the rules for this, but I wonder if it's still a horse collar if you grab the collar of the jersey.
Totally a bull call. The hands to the face was questionable as well. So was the helmet to helmet on Ebner. Ebner made a perfect form tackle. Sometimes helmets hit. Lots of bad calls in that game.
