[CHICAGO]

OR WE CAN TALK ABOUT HOW
THEY WASTED A BUNCH OF TIME
AND A TIMEOUT IN THE RED ZONE
WHEN THEY COULD HAVE SIMPLY KICKED A SHORT FG AND PLAYED DEFENSE
WITH 3 TIMEOUTS LEFT.

Right.

The players fukked up plenty but even with that they was still in the game til the final minute but coaching gave them no shot

Like you said at that point they would have needed a FG anyway so all of a sudden you are okay with him kicking a 45 yarder with 5 seconds left? Or a 25 yarder with 1 minute and 3 timeouts

 

[Piff Perkins]

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

Yea this makes no sense dude. Lions have taken short FGs all season. That has nothing to do with being aggressive. The aggression they've shown has been about long FGs in no man's land where punting makes no sense and a FG isn't automatic. In those situations when it's 4th and manageable, they've gone for it. The only way you think this is a contradiction is if you don't understand football. And I know you understand football so I'm baffled why you're making this argument right now.

They literally said after half they talked to Campbell and he said “they were a smidge too far” he was going to go for it there too. And should have since “aggressive” is the culture

If the kicker can’t be trusted he should have never seen the field and you should be trying to stack TDs because you know the niners can score 17 points in 8 minutes, like they ended up doing

Ran the ball on third down

But what he's saying is correct

the better team won

That meathead Campbell would have gone for it and thrown a hail Mary for the win

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.

Even with his players fukking up he could have saved them from themselves but chose stupidity every time

He's coaching off vibes, the Lions are one to watch if they lose coordinators.

 

[Eye Cue DA COLI GAWD]

Detroit dominated first half and led by 17 at half time

SF came out in 2nd half and scored a field goal down 17

Detroit returned the favor by not taking FG attempt up 14

Didn't get first down on a 4th & 2 pass

SF immediately goes down field and scored TD to cut lead to 7

All within first 6 minutes of game action

This is the same shyt the former Chargers coach would do. He got credit for it till it was his death nail in league

Campbell is on notice

 

[Cheese McNair]

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.

So a 77% chance vs a 52% or whatever their 4th down conversion is for the year chance?

When you already have the lead? Dan Campbell didn’t play to win the game. He wanted to stroke his ego and try to stunt on them.
