45 yard FG gives you a 3 score lead

but they got the look they wanted Goff bought time & made a good throw

OK D one more time here

Dude, this is awful, how do you not take the FG try there and make it 3 scores, involving two-2 pt conversions along the way, possiibly, I mean you gotta kick that FG

-I'm speechless

75 percent success rate on the FG
Campbell goes for it everytime there. It was not even close.

You're saying 4th down was better odds than a 45-yd FG? Up 14 points and a chance to make it 3 scores with less than 20 minutes left in the game?
Was not sure I understood your post

75 percent chance to make 3 points. 55% chance to continue to go for 7. Campbell trust his offense. Period.

 

[travdogg]

GB game all over again. 49ers look far inferior, suddenly its 50-50, suddenly they win.

 

[IHEARTFF]

Dang

 

[irish eyes]

Ugh, going to be an unwatchable SB with KC and SF. So many punchable faces to pick from.

Oof. Tied.
Never can be easy.

 

[Todem]

It took 12 minutes for the Lions to blow a 17 point lead.

But hey go for it.....don't take your easy 3.

 

[GoBirds]

Man, tryin to give it away.

Time to see what the Lions are made of...nobody said it would be easy.

 

[fred_1_15301]

Let’s go Lions! You still got this!

 

[CGRdrJoe]

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.

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 too wouldn’t make the right calls, hence on my couch watching this

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

BOOM!!!!!

0-0

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Is this game gonna come down to a FG by one of these two sketchy Kickers?

 

[Long Ball Larry]

something something take the points something

Then they would be winning by 3 now and definitely would win the game!

 

[Andy Dufresne]

How is this a tie score?

Answer: Math

 

[The Gator]

Good Lord

i blame you

 

[eighsse2]

You're still up 7. Just get a stop to stanch the bleeding.

2 points for teaching me a new word.

 

[karl.Racki]

Lions just need a long time consuming drive and get a TD.. Get the game back.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

too bad the Niners can’t play from behind.

Wasn’t that the narrative?

 

[karl.Racki]

I hate to harp on it, but that 4th down play was so huge

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.

Honestly, it's the only reason for that post. Most people incorrectly use "staunch".

I'm here for the elucidation.

lol it’s tie…

 

[massraider]

OK, Jake Moody, the game is close enough that we can go back to blaming you. Sorry

 

[RG623]

I think this drive will tell if Det wins the game

 

[Todem]

Lions need to go right back and pound Monty again and play action off it.

But sheesh......what a massive rookie mistake by Gibbs. You gotta have both hands on that football spinning in the middle of the defense.....come in kid wake up. You have dogs looking to strip the ball down 7.....

 

[Bigboy10182000]

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

How about his defense?

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.

 

[beef]

Double down Dan. Next TD go for 2!

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

 

[Todem]

Agreed

Pound the rock.

 

[Wingnut]

If SF wins this game, I don't wanna hear another person mention the 49ers or Purdys inability to come from behind.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

If the lions kicked the fg, they would have kicked off and sf probably gets the ball at the 25 at worst. Instead they got it at the 35. The problem is not that decision, it’s the defense and the fumble.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Game tuned on that dropped pass.

Take the 3.
