As a routine thing...no, I don't think its wise to always go needing 6 or 7. Pretty sure the stats would suggest kicking in both spots.I did say I disagreed with the 1st call going for it, that's fair and I'm glad @Capella gave a rousing thumbs up, all goodsorry MOP, can't disagree strongly enough. You go for two there (maybe not from the 7, but certainly from 2 or 3) OT on the road is less then a 50-50 shot. One play from the 2 or 3 is better then 50%I have never laid into Dan Camobell but this is just absolute stupidity, don't care if the guy was WIDE OPEN if you listen to the booth
You take the XP and you go to Overtime, I might be livid if I were a Lions' player right now
Coaches have to know when they need to circle their players and protect them, kicking that XP would have shown that ability but Campbell right now is LACKING in that category
BIG TIME
-You GD Fool!
-However you both must agree that going for it on 4th and 7 or 4th and an XP/2-Pt and you are on the 7 yd line
You kick the XP, I've never seen a coach try and go for 2 points from the 7 yard line, none in recent memory
That cannot be a good choice even from the analytics, wherever these humanoids reside

Was he asking the ref how the wife and kids are doing, of coarse that is why he went to the ref. I'm going to say it now, the Lions will go further than the Cowgirls in the playoffs.It looks like Decker reported on replay.

Procedural, false start, crotch itch, head shake, poop in your pants, none of it matters when you can FORCE OT with a simple kick from the 7 yd line, that's nonsense to forgive Dan Campbell all the way thru...BIG CAHONES when it was from the 2 yd line, I'll give you that, not from the 7 yd line in that situation and given the fact he PISSED AWAY other scoring opps
Lions lost an overtime game earlier in the year where the offense never touched the ball.It’s baffling to me that people just think extending the game and going to OT is better than a 2 yard conversion. Even 4 yards. 7 is where it’s super iffy but the first and third decision were spot on and every coach should employ it. Stop being cowards.
In my 16-team startup PPR IDP dynasty I dealt my 2024 1st & 2025 2nd for pick 1.14, with which I picked CeeDee Lamb.Sorry to all you fantasy footballers if you got in the way of the CeeDee Lamb script.
Awful. They singled him all night and got beat. All night.

What does the NFL rulebook say about the ref acknowledging/accepting the report? Yes, I suppose it's a technicality, but a consequential one.If this is Dector reporting, the NFL will have a LOT of explaining to do.
And before anyone continues on with ESPN saying it would have been an illegal formation, absolutely not. It was an unbalanced formation and the outside WR was off the line. Which made Decker essentially a TE. The formation was perfectly legal.
This could be an all time screw job. I really really hope audio someone comes out of what was said on that video clip I linked to.
If the Lions had won out they would have leaped frogged Philly with the win over a common opponent, Dallas and would of had the 2 seed. The Luons only needed one loss by SF for the 1 seed. Now they are locked into 3rd.I don't think so.I haven’t been paying attention, does the loss change the Lion’s playoff seeding?
Eagles and Niners will be 1-2 (currently at 11 wins each). Bucs suck and are locked into 4 (currently at 8 wins). Barring a total meltdown by Eagles/Niners both going 0-2 these last 2 weeks the Lions were stuck at 3 win or lose.
If he’s an eligible receiver, he doesn’t need to be covered in that unbalanced formation. I don’t fully grasp those rules but there’s a few retire NFL OL on Twitter posting that the refs got it wrong and it was legal.He wasn’t covered anyway, even if he did report it was an illegal formation.What a auto sow that a

It DOES mean they can punt week 18 and rest key starters though. The game is meaningless to them now (technically still alive for the 2 seed but would need Philly to lose at least one, maybe even both against cupcakes)If the Lions had won out they would have leaped frogged Philly with the win over a common opponent, Dallas and would of had the 2 seed.

Sure the pure analytics say go for it but when you suck all night in short yardage situations maybe just maybe consider game flowYour odds covering from the 2 are like 70-75%. Odds of winning in OT significantly lower than that.I really don't get having four chances at OT (basically) and not taking any and lose.
Would not have said the same about going for it from the 7. That was a bit reckless.
Not this fan. I was ok with the first even if I thought kick. Absolutely you kick from the 7.I can guarantee that every single player on the Lions wants Campbell to go for two, even on the 7-yard-line and the vast majority of fans did too.
Yes the ref does announce it. And he did announce that #70 reported as eligible. He did not announce that #68 reported as eligible.He did report though.

I asked up thread, when a player reports as eligible, doesn't the referee supposed to make an announcement that #68 has reported as eligible?
Looking at the video, Allen either looks like he's on the take, or he's as clueless as Phil Luckett calling a Jerome Bettis coin toss.

Decker told the ref AND THE REF NODDED! What the ****!
All there is is speculation. No one including the refs heard him actually report. Campbell just said on the presser that 70 did report and that only one player could report at a time. I fully don’t understand that rule but that’s what he just said.If he’s an eligible receiver, he doesn’t need to be covered in that unbalanced formation.

Rob jobIt looks like Decker reported on replay.
Going to need audio and a replay where the ref announced it.Decker told the ref AND THE REF NODDED! What the ****!
I believe from what I’m seeing online- decker did not need to be covered if he was eligibleLooking at the video, Allen either looks like he's on the take, or he's as clueless as Phil Luckett calling a Jerome Bettis coin toss.
****ing hope that's not the case, because that would fry me. Just make me livid. I don't care about not covering the receiver. Let them call that if they catch it. But the call was a non-report, so any of this ******** "yeah, but even if. . . " just chafes me. Save it for your appellate brief.
I’m fairly certain multiple players can report as eligible at the same time. If they gave Campbell that explanation, this whole crew should be fired.All there is is speculation. No one including the refs heard him actually report. Campbell just said on the presser that 70 did report and that only one player could report at a time.

I have to ask, please do not take offense, is this true?Decker told the ref AND THE REF NODDED! What the ****!
True but also can you even hear those announcements in that situation? Could Decker have possible recognized he didn’t get called eligible?If the ref doesn’t announce it how does the defense know? Seems like that wouldn’t be fair
Not sure if this is true or not, but I just saw on Twitter someone say that #70 said he didn’t actually report.The part I don’t understand is why did both 70 and 68 report as eligible. Specifically why for 70?
They just showed Decker walking to the ref, said something, and the ref nodded.I have to ask, please do not take offense, is this true?Decker told the ref AND THE REF NODDED! What the ****!
Is that internet speculation or is it in print?
-I'm only asking because it will really sour me for future games. This cannot happen under any circumstances the way you described it. If I were Goodell I would launch an enitire investigation into it behind the scenes with the same fervor he's shown for other problems like Inflate-Gate and the event that triggered pink shoes and wristbands(it wasn't breast cancer)
...it's not because I had money riding on this game but I am left very bitter after having so much fun earlier and just letting it go as an NFL fan for once.
Ok but then game flow was they just went 80 yards in 60 seconds.Sure the pure analytics say go for it but when you suck all night in short yardage situations maybe just maybe consider game flowYour odds covering from the 2 are like 70-75%.
