Woot woot.

 

[Stoneworker]

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

Nope. There are two ways teams blow big halftime leads. 1) turnovers and 2) don't take points whenever you have the oppty

Lions are 0 for 2

2024 NFCC at Halftime


Niners 24
Lions 7

1957 at Halftime...

24-24 in '24

41-38 in 1982. I was there at the Orange Bowl upper deck. This game may also become an epic.

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

I just eluded to that yeah.

It took a HUGELY lucky play, but still…

 

[identikit]

too bad the Niners can’t play from behind.

Wasn’t that the narrative?

It's the Campbell-led Lions though

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

lol it’s tie…

Not for long. Choke job coming

 

[karl.Racki]

Lions are rattled.. SF takes the lead, it might be over tbh

 

[Major]

As much as I hate seeing the Lions blow this lead I'm loving this game. Should be a helluva 4th quarter unless the Lions completely fall apart

[The General]

What the **** is wrong with Reynolds

 

[Insein]

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Reynolds- you are too small for this game. Damn

 

[AAABatteries]

That guy will have to pay his own way home

 

[beef]

Nice job, boobs for hands Reynolds.

[Osaurus]

No more passes to Reynolds. Dayum

 

[fruity pebbles]

[Mt. Man]

Lions losing this game drop by drop.

 

[The Frankman]

OH my God Lions WTF?

[Jayded]

Man Reynolds needs to hit the bench because of those two plays.

 

[dickey moe]

Gahhh now the Lions can't catch a break.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Campbell’s decision to have Gibbs fumble and reynolds drop these passes has lost this game for the lions

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Big 3 & out

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.

 

[jrt103]

aww "almost" an amazing punt.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Tried to run with it before he secured it.

 

[The General]

I think the momentum has shifted

 

[eighsse2]

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

2 points for teaching me a new word.

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

I'm here for the elucidation.

Interesting. There are all kinds of terms I hear people misuse that drive me crazy, and I don't think I've ever heard stanch OR staunch (other than the correct meaning of staunch).

 

[Bigboy10182000]

These are the Lions we all remember. Jesus Christ

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.

Meh, I come from behind all the time.

Does this have to do with @belljr having your wife’s digits?

 

[Gachi]

Moments like this I wonder if the nfl is scripted

Ridiculous

 

[Statorama]

Not-so special teams
