We've been playing this way all season, and it worked. I'm never going to get mad at a coach sticking to his game plan or identity. You go for it because you expect your guys to make plays. Reynolds dropped what would have been an easy 1st down on that first 4th down. I have no respect for arguments that are purely based on hindsight.
If you want to kill someone, kill the OC for going empty backfield on the second 4th down. Campbell did nothing wrong.
Context matters here. Saying they went 2-2 in the playoffs means nothing when both of those were goal line situations.
Today it was the 28 and 30. How are these comparable at all?

SO WHY DIDNT HE GO FOR IT
AT THE END OF THE HALF
WHEN THEY WERE MUCH CLOSER
TO THE ENDZONE?
THAT STAT IS MISLEADING.

But they kicked a 28yrd fg on 4th
right before half

Because it was a <30 yard chip shot FG before halftime and the Niners were getting the ball first? VS a 48 yard FG while down 3. Come on fam. Do you watch football or not. You can't possibly be comparing those two decisions, which were completely different.

That FG kept the momentum in their favor and was a great way to enter the half. Makes no sense to then flip the script when you had a chance to go up 3 scores. Then you double down on that and pass up a chance to tie the game and allow your team a chance to reset
Isn't that effectively what the tweet you posted did? Compare a bunch of different 4th down scenarios to paint a narrative that the Lions didn't make a poor decision tonight.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE 45 YARDER
ON THEIR FIRST POSSESSION OF THE SECOND HALF TO TRADE FGS WITH SF
AND GAIN A 17 PT LEAD....
SAME SCENARIO AS THEIR PREVIOUS POSSESSION.
YOU DEFINITELY TAKE THE fukkING FG
DOWN 3 MID WAY THROUGH THE 4TH.
THAT ISNT EVEN DEBATABLE.

Ok, so the one where Goff got the ball right to his receiver who then dropped the ball. It was the right call. You play to win the game.

I'm so tired of this "take the FG/points" argument as if it's an automatic chip shot. It's not.
Am I taking a 70% chance on the road or am I letting my QB, who has balled out all year, make a play? And guess what, he made a play. The receiver dropped the ball.
You can’t have it both ways man.
“They were aggressive all season”
Well were was it then. That could have been a kill shot going up 21
He took the easy way out and wanted to be up 3 scores but somehow lost his balls to actually “be aggressive”
Then decided to get back to being aggressive when they just needed to stop the bleeding.
If he misses a FG once then okay atleast you tried. You didn’t even give him a chance to fukk up because you decided to go for a historically low % play multiple times on the road against the #1 seed
THE FUNNIEST AND MOST
