BREAKING: Dan Campbell under investigation for game-fixing...colibrehs coppin pleas

This reoccurring excuse is what’s driving me insane
That philosophy got them to overachieve when they were a middling talent team.
However, 2 years later…. Hutchinson, McNeill, Gibbs, Montgomery, LaPorta, Jamo, Branch…”the philosophy” ain’t what got them here, hitting the jackpot on talent in the draft got you here. They aren’t a middling talent team, they are a top 5 talented team in the league. Plenty of people projected them to get his far and it wasn’t bc ‘oh shyt, they be playing gutsy’
Adapt. It’s like a 6’6 6 cert 6 figure breh still cold approach groveling over women. Like bruh you know you ain’t gotta do all that right
And then this ngga said ‘this may have been our last shot’ whaaaat. He has a poverty mind state.

Yea that’s dumb. Regular season is one thing, the playoffs are completely different.
Fool could have gone up 3 possessions with a routine kick twice and opted for a lower percentage play. They fell apart right after.
I’m flabbergasted by the number of people here who don’t understand the concept of going up multiples of scores.
In the 2nd half after the 49ers kicked a fg they went from being down 3 scores (17 points) to only 2 scores (14 points). In the ensuing Lions drive they had the opportunity to kick a fg and go up 3 scores (17 points) or continue to try for a TD and go up……………..3 scores (21 points). In the 2nd half the number of points needed to score starts to matter less than the total number of times you need to score overall. That’s why you kick the FG and push the lead back up to 3 scores. Whether the Lions scored a FG or a TD, the 49ers would have had the same approach to the remainder of the game!
Doing that changes the entire mood of the opposing coaches, players, and fans. It’s a back breaker. Failing that 4th down conversion gives the other team life and demoralizes your own team.
If your kicker can’t make a kick from inside the 30 yard line then you fukked up from the jump and we don’t even need to discuss this because you weren’t winning a title anyway.
One other thing Lions fans. Yeah you may think you are on the upswing but as a Falcons fan let me tell you, if your OC leaves and you don’t have anyone who can run that offense just like him, you are fukked. When Kyle Shanahan left us after we choked in the SB we were finished. We didn’t have anyone who could run that offense and we fell apart.

Exactly. A lot of casuals in here. You put more pressure on your opponent needing 3 possessions rather than 2. Just an idiotic move by him. On top of that the 9ers kicker already missed a kick so it forces them to start overthinking as well. Down 2 scores? Doable. 3 in the 2nd half? Much harder.
If you're up 14 points with a chance to make it 17 you're not the underdog in that game. Throw all that out the window and play smart. There's no scraping and clawing if you're up 17. Why are you gambling like you're losing the game and need 7? You're in the driver's seat and all you have to do is maintain momentum. You've been running the ball with high success so going up 3 scores enables to you to keep running while putting pressure on them to play fast. They become one dimensional and there's more chances they make a mistake.
On the road in the playoffs you cannot lose your momentum because once something bad happens you start falling apart from the pressure. The Lions haven't been there before so as a coach you need to take that into consideration.
They aren't a front running team...at all.bullshyt thread, SF is another front running team along with the goats of that shyt (golden state warriors). Masters of having timely shyt happen for them to advance.

I agree, talented roster don’t mean shyt, if the coaches calling bone head plays. We see this type of stuff year in and out when teams with talented rosters self destruct in the playoffs.

That was painful, and I'm not even a Lion's fan.
It also changes how you offensively operate on ensuing possessions (i.e. run the ball to milk the clock). And the Lions have one of the best running attacks too smh. Just a real boneheaded coaching decision.
That run at the end which cost them a time-out is inexcusable.
Yeah at the end of the Dallas game they went for 2 which was fine but then they got a penalty for illegal man downfield or illegal touching which was a questionable call. However the refs called it and they were pushed back 10 yards. They should have just kicked the xpt and went to OT. Instead he goes for it again at the 10 yard line smh. And the man was open too but Goff under threw him.
And that saved Dan from criticism because of the questionable call and Goff’s subsequent under throw. Same way ppl are doing now with the drop.
That was probably the worst call of them all. Recovering an onside kick is like a 5% play, it just doesn't happen anymore. You can't burn a timeout there.

All of this.
You make it a 3 possession game late in the 3rd quarter, shorten the game and put pressure on the 49ers. The game management was atrocious.
You compare how Andy Reid manage the 4th quarter in the Chiefs/Ravens game and how he committed to the run to take as much time out as possible and force the Ravens to play desperate and make mental errors.
