Dude…

 

[The Frankman]

More brilliant coaching by Campbell. What a masterclass

 

[Zeppelin]

Terrible play call.

 

[Zow]

Huge gambling implications for whether they kick now or not

Yeah I’m gonna be leading a huge pool if San Fran can cover. Obviously if they kick I’ll take the push.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

I can’t believe what I’m seeing.

 

[fred_1_15301]

You can’t run it!

 

[Bankerguy]

A clinic in bad coaching and how to lose.

 

[belljr]

Wut?

 

[NinerGang]

Wowowowowowow

I can’t believe you are still alive

 

[AAABatteries]

Why not hurry the 4th down? I hate rushing AND the timeout. All kinds of second guessing

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Okay, now that's dumb. You cannot call a run oka6y there. You just CAN'T.

That was terrible. Still could have gotten the ball back with three timeouts. I guess if they really thought that was the best chance to score, I sort of get it, but not really.

 

[RenegadeRoy]

Imagine not wanting to watch SF vs KC like yeah give me falcons titans bro

Because both teams are heels

Yeah okay

In fantasy terms it's the guy who is perennially in the league playoffs versus the guy who had a stacked team this season. At least those are the heels in my league. Lions are the guy who's never been the the championship and is usually in the consolation bracket.

 

[FarFromHome]

I hope he goes for it on 4th down

I was joking.. oh my

 

[Major]

Surprised he's not going for 2

 

[fred_1_15301]

A clinic in bad coaching and how to lose.

One of the worst halves of coaching I’ve ever seen.

 

[NutterButter]

All this bc turdstir couldn't stay in bounds

 

[HellToupee]

Go for 2

 

[irish eyes]

Knowing Campbell he probably won't onside kick. Zero game awareness

 

[karl.Racki]

Campbell should be fired.. There I said it..

Great year, but this is pretty inexcusable tonight..Not like this is a game in week 7.. He cost his team a shot to go to the Super Bowl.

 

[belljr]

Madden said you wasted a time out

 

[Wildcat]

amazing these are professional coaches. Running the ball. Stupid

 

[travdogg]

49ers might have the best hands team in the NFL

ETA: Then again, I wasn't expecting Jennings and Conley. Figured it'd be Aiyuk and Kittle.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Lets's go back to those 2 FG attempts Dan Campbell refused to try...

 

[ChicoCat]

Hope the Lions get the onside kick and put the HC in the position to either kick the FG or go for the TD.

 

[Moonlight]

Haven't followed this thread at all, and I'm sure it was discussed, but Campbell going for it up 24-10 rather than kicking was as idiotic as it

What a ****ing moron

Its how Detroit has played all year and why they are here

Awful calls like that is not why they are here but is why they will be going home. Brutal. Bummer.

Totally disagree

 

[Brunell4MVP]

At least Ben Johnson can start his job with WAS tomorrow.

 

[Zeppelin]

Just one time....let's recover the onside kick.

 

[IHEARTFF]

Imagine not wanting to watch SF vs KC like yeah give me falcons titans bro

Yeah okay

In fantasy terms it's the guy who is perennially in the league playoffs versus the guy who had a stacked team this season. At least those are the heels in my league. Lions are the guy who's never been the the championship and is usually in the consolation bracket.

Yeah I get the sentiment just seems it should be a fantastic game

 

[beef]

I've yet to see Williams make a great catch with his hands. Always seems to use his body.

I take this back.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

You can’t run it!

And if you do you CANT CALL A TIMEOUT!!

 

[dickey moe]

Lions coaches basically panicked in the 2nd half.

 

[FarFromHome]

Niners ain't covering to those gamblers. I see what your doing there coach.

 

[RenegadeRoy]

Hope the Lions get the onside kick and put the HC in the position to either kick the FG or go for the TD.

The fates demand it.

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Let’s see the onside kick results go 42-4, now

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Gah

 

[Sam Quentin]

Campbell on the hot seat after this?

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Campbell should be fired.. There I said it..

Great year, but this is pretty inexcusable tonight..Not like this is a game in week 7.. He cost his team a shot to go to the Super Bowl.

Please frame this



but i wouldn't fire him
I would instruct him how it should go moving forward

 

[ShamrockPride]

Lions coaches basically panicked in the 2nd half.

Just like Shanahan in the SB. This is an easy ring for the Chiefs in 2 weeks.

 

[Dez]

You can't call a timeout there dumbest thing ever you couldn't run it on 3rd down because that timeout ended the game

 

[Sam Quentin]

onsides kick is near impossible under new rules

 

[AAABatteries]

Even I think they should kick this

Why? If it was the right call before I don’t get why it’s not the right call this time.

down by 3 with 7 minutes left

Yeah I think that in that situation, you have way fewer outs to win the game. In the earlier situation, there were plenty of paths that could happen and you still had the lead and could make the niners have to really execute to win. Giving them the ball back in this situation lets them dictate a lot of the remaining game.

Really easy for those of us who thought he should kick to say we are right but hell if I know - all I know is what I said before. They had a great chance to go back up 17 midway through the 3rd and put some more doubt in the Niners and give themselves confidence. Since that decision they have totally **** the bed.

Right, and that’s the problem, not so much the decision to go for it.

Nobody will ever be proven right but what I feared would happen to Detroit did.

Now to be fair, I still have PTSD from the Falcons blowing the SB so maybe I’m too cautious.

I think we can all agree that I am definitely right.

I hope that this game lets you exorcise your Shanahan demons…

I’ll be rooting hard for KC.

 

[FarFromHome]

Ironic is coming down to the kicker here

 

[Andy Dufresne]

I talked in the other game thread about the lack of football awareness. Happened on this game too.

 

[dickey moe]

Wow that was close.

Well didn't travel 10 yds though.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

You can’t run it!

And if you do you CANT CALL A TIMEOUT!!

True, still could have just spiked or be ready to run a pass play immediately

 

[jrt103]

Dan said all week that it was race to 30, they lost that race

 

[Sam Quentin]

Running play…why?

 

[Bigboy10182000]

You can't call a timeout there dumbest thing ever you couldn't run it on 3rd down because that timeout ended the game

Yep. The pressure absolutely broke Campbell

 

[FarFromHome]

He had it!!!!!

 

[jobarules]

Running the ball on 3rd down was insane.

Campbell single handedly lost this game for Detroit. I don't care what anyone says
