***NFC Championship - Detroit Lions 14-5 at San Francisco 49'ers 13-5*** (-7.5, 52) 6:30 (1 Viewer)

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 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.

 

[AAABatteries]

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

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

 

[Osaurus]

The plot thins

 

[Wingnut]

What a turn of events.

 

[Nick Vermeil]

Remember that time Reynolds sunk the dreams of an entire city?

 

[RenegadeRoy]

Watching a mojo transfer in real time.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

That was so lucky that it was a touchback too. Wow

 

[brianj74]

Lions can't get out of their own way here. Fumbles, dropped passes, touch back etc...

 

[NutterButter]

Lions self destructing

 

[Insein]

This is over.

 

[CGRdrJoe]

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

Game tuned on that dropped pass.

Take the 3.

yeah cause you can predict a pass off a defenders face mask on what should be an int, a fumble, another dropped pass and now a punt team unable to keep the ball inside the 5 because they are running out of control

He can't count that high.

 

[RG623]

Let’s see if the cameras catch reynolds laughing it up on the sideline again after another back breaking drop

 

[Capella]

Too big for the Lions?

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

 

[travdogg]

Feels like we are due for a big CMC play

He dropped them because the momentum shifted

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

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

 

[Todem]

Oh come on, Lions. Complete collapse.

Epic

 

[Bracie Smathers]

74 yard punt.

 

[dickey moe]

The Lions might be cursed.

 

[fred_1_15301]

Lions still got this. I have a feeling.

 

[The Frankman]

... boy it's not looking good.

 

[ChicoCat]

All we need now is for a player for the Lions pants to fall down as he's making a play for their failure to be complete.

He’s maybe 2% culpable as the guy shouldn’t have been given the chance to drop it - again, IMO.

 

[Osaurus]

Momentemum

 

[irish eyes]

Lions are collapsing in epic fashion, what a shame

 

[Wingnut]

Mahomes like

I mean, it’s 4th & 2 in FG range. Points are points.

Risking not getting points is worse than taking easy FGs.

I was not a fan of them going for it there. I mean, as a Niner fan I am, but in general I thought they shoulda taken the points.

 

[rockaction]

Wow. This is not good for the Lions. That's an understatement.

 

[Todem]

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

Mass Suicide forth coming.

Kool-Aide is being mixed as we speak.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Lions need a spark be it a sack, turnover, TFL, they need something right now

 

[Statorama]

Ok, Hutchinson just got tackled there

 

[Desert_Power]

Only one touch from Williams. Need to get him involved over Josh freaking Reynolds.

 

[Major]

I always thought the Purdy/Steve Young thing was schtick but he does move like him at times.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Juice coming up big in this game

 

[ProstheticRGK]

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

 

[jon_mx]

Thank god the third quarter is over......been the Lions downfall all season.

 

[Todem]

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.

 

[rockaction]

Fourth quarter, fellas.

Last one of the year, really. (Super Bowl is more about group entertainment and the surrounding circumstances than football.)

 

[Mt. Man]

Good news is that the 3rd quarter's over.

 

[Ilov80s]

Don’t like how we got there but tied going into the 4th is where we wanted it

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I always thought the Purdy/Steve Young thing was schtick but he does move like him at times.

Purdy is much more spry.

Young was lumbering but effective.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

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!

 

[Andy Dufresne]

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?

 

[Todem]

Ok, Hutchinson just got tackled there

Oh that happens in every game almost all game.

It's truly insane.
