IMO, no.

:) I understand it's you're team and everyone has a blind spot for their team. But this guy's behavior is legendary. To think that he didn't know Rogers was on the ground behind him? C'mon.
But that being said, I'm looking forward to the game. Should be great. Providing Romo doesn't puke on himself... Again.

Fyi...the NFL appeals board included members from other pro sports, e.g., Bill Laimbeer, entire Red Wings '90s Grind Line, and Ty Cobb's grandson.

From Shutdown corner......(emphasis mine)

The play looked accidental at first — until Suh stepped on Rodgers' injured leg a second time. Rodgers retaliated with a push to Suh and a plea to referee Walt Anderson. Rodgers said after the game Anderson told him that Suh said he was pushed into Rodgers after the play.
That means Suh will miss the Lions' playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. A free agent after the season with an unwieldy salary-cap number, Suh might have played his final game as a Lion.
Suh has a history — seven documented incidents — in the NFL with dirty play on the field, including his more pronounced stomp on former Packers center Evan Dietrich-Smith. Rodgers would not blame Suh directly but clearly was annoyed that it occurred in an area of his leg he injured in Week 16 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, then aggravated earlier in the Lions game Sunday.

How would the Lion's fans feel if Matthew Stafford had an injured leg and someone like Clay Matthews "accidentally" stepped on it? Football is a rough game, but stuff like this (and the stomp last week by Raiola) is absolutely uncalled for. Now that there seems to be a pattern emerging, perhaps the coaching staff needs to held accountable as well.

According to Stafford's fiancé it happened during this game. Since he was not Rodgers it was overlooked

If that is true, game film should be produced and if it is determined to be intentional then the player that stepped on him should be disciplined.

My guess though is that it would probably only garner a slap on the wrist. Not because the league is favoring Rogers but because there would more than likely not have been a history of "dirty" play on the part of the Packers player.

The reason that Suh is being treated the way he is in this situation is because of his history. If it would have been his first or second offense (not his 7th) I'm guessing that it would have been overlooked.

Now, I'm not a Cryboys fan, nor am I a lions fan. In a case like this, may it just be a case of Suh may just be a complete idiot? That he doesn't have good spatial recognition? This might explain his actions.

here's my take on the "mis-step"...
in regular speed (dont watch it in slo-mo), Suh was indeed pushed in that direction. His momentum was going backwards. fine.
That said... you know damn well that the field is flat. when something is underfoot that you know damn well shouldnt be there, you dont take the same type of steps you normally do, with the same kind of weight - which is what Suh does.
If he was surrounded by toddlers, pushed backwards, and something was underfoot... dont you think he would flinch (like stepping barefoot on some legos) or at least look backwards? he didnt do either of those things.
