Haven't stopped. Go look.

Go back to sleep front runner

Don't act like you know me.

It doesn’t take much

Amon Ra is the answer. 5 targets next possession.

Devil's advocate a little, but that FG was no gimme, and the play they called worked other than the ball being caught. Outcome sucks, but process was right in my eyes, especially as its Campbell's DNA to go for it, and the Lions aren't here without that attitude.

Completely

Part of their identity, it's who they are.

Cherry picking these decisions is really dumb.

Cherry picking a 45-yf FG attempt up 14 in the NFCC


You did say cherry picking? OMG, awesome sauce, I love it
We could not be more 180 on that one

Have you not watched the Lions any thus season....to kick a FG was not even a remote thought.

just because campbell is always a meathead doesn't mean always being a meathead is correct

Meathead....get out of her...clueless Comment.

lol you watch the dallas game, or getting his team hurt in week 18 for no reason? several other examples too. Overall I do like him and like that he is aggressive, but there is still a time for reason from time to time too

I will take Campbell over any coach....any day and every day. He leads men, not wussies

 

[ProstheticRGK]

If the 49ers do win- Pursy cementing his legacy with that scramble and throw to Juice. Nice play. That kid has moxie

Did you just use the term "cementing his legacy" in regards to ... Brock Purdy?

Let me go back and read the post…

yes? Is that a trick question?

What's the deal with this?

Weird

 

[Major]

They haven’t showed the crowd at Ford Field in a while.

Mass Suicide forth coming.

Kool-Aide is being mixed as we speak.

I still have PTSD being a kid in Houston when they blew a 38-3 lead to Buffalo in the 3rd Quarter. Probably should have joined the one fan who started a bonfire in his backyard of all his Oilers memorabilia and unloaded a shotgun at his tv.

Disagree - you’re the underdog and on the road. You knew SF would come out with their best shot in the 2nd half. You held them to a FG and then took time off the clock and could get that 17 point lead back. Them not getting the 1st down gave all the momentum to San Fran.

this is why you are an internet poster and not an NFL head coach the play was the correct call, the player just dropped the pass. Just as the kicker could have missed the kick, the 3 was not guaranteed

I know nothing about coaching like most everybody in here and just giving my opinion- no delusions I’m “right”. I think there’s times that the numbers shouldn’t be followed. There really is a thing as momentum - as we are seeing.

it's not Campbell's fault the guy dropped the pass. And now he just dropped another.

No. But if they kick the FG the lions are still up 3 even with the fumble and the latest dropped pass

 

[Ministry of Pain]

How Dan Campbell doesn’t kick the FG there is beyond me. That moment is gonna define him forever

Yeah it's squarely on him. Horrific tactical new school BS decison.

Madden football bad.

Let's go back to potential 27-10 w/45 yd FG attempt and he passed
No guarantee even if they convert that they score a TD since it was around the 25-30 yd line, still might end up a FG attempt
They never tried

-No matter what the Niners do, they would have been mentally down 3 scores and that changes everything

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Ok ok, let’s all take a deep breath and try not to panic. This is a difficult situation for all of us lions fans, as I only have one more cold beer after this and it’s a Saison. But we will soldier on!

I have a brand new bottle of Don Julio Silver, and I fear it may get emptied regardless of outcome.

 

[GrantK]

Long way to go, come on Lions!

 

[travdogg]

Wouldn't mind SF mixing in Mitchell at RB for a play or 2. Can't be great for CMC to be playing 100% snaps.

This is a much better game than wtf the AFCCG was.

The questions about Purdy being young and inexperienced, looking lost and overwhelmed last week and so far this game.

He’s been able to shake off the mistakes and make big plays when needed. It’s been flukey and lucky, but atill shows he has the stuff to be a SB QB.

****head tactician.

Which is a key part of coaching and winning/losing games

[dickey moe]

Purdy is so slitherly.

 

[Todem]

Purdy woke up folks

 

[irish eyes]

Lions done, defense awful, offense awful

 

[The General]

The seas parted for Purdy

In terms of range of outcomes, it's on the table.

 

[FarFromHome]

Big sack. Let's go

 

[travdogg]

Purdy thinks he's Lamar all of a sudden

yes? Is that a trick question?

Ah yes, if he retired tomorrow I can definitely see people reminiscing over that play decades from now.

 

[FarFromHome]

Make the rookie kicker make a FG.

 

[dickey moe]

Finally the Lions with some sacks.

Gah

 

[Zeppelin]

Huge stop.

 

[FarFromHome]

Huge victory to hold them to a FG. Just felt like the sky was falling.

Ok, funny man. You made your point. I’m trying to get his measurments now for a gold jacket.

Moody comes through

 

[Cowboysfan8]

I thought the last hit on Purdy should’ve been a flag

 

[Long Ball Larry]

"Cannot take that sack!"
-Greg Olson

Hopefully they do that in the next commercial

 

[travdogg]

Mad Season? What the hell Fox, this isn't Seattle.

 

[Jayded]

The odd part to me about Campbell’s 4th down strategy is what does the FG kicker think?

No tries all game and then has to get up in the 4th for big kicks? Seems dangerous to only expose him to that situation.

 

[Wingnut]

Niners take the lead! Wow

 

[KingPrawn]

Stupid to kick the FG here. Go for it.

 

[Bankerguy]

Garbage missed call

 

[Insein]

Lions have one chance to get back in this.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

"Cannot take that sack!"
-Greg Olson

Now said by every commentator after every sack.

As if the alternative makes sense, "Well, good thing he took THAT sack "

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Huge victory to hold them to a FG. Just felt like the sky was falling.

Niners taking the lead after being down 24-7 doesn’t feel like a big win, but it’s a win for sure.

 

[The General]

The Lions dude got away with a cheap shot there

 

[IHEARTFF]

I thought the last hit on Purdy should’ve been a flag

Yeah that replay wow helmet into his head while he’s down clear flag

 

[NutterButter]

That hold for the lions sure does help
