Just like the Packers do, the Lions have short yardage for the 1st down, but they throw DEEP..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edhunter Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Lions can’t tackle worth a damn. What a choke job. Their head coach is a dumbass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Points are hard to get, especially against the best teams on the biggest stage. I seriously don't get what these coaches are thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inthend Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 That's too bad. Thought Lions were on their way before the fumble. Good season tho. 49ers the better team, congrats. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edhunter Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) I know they love the guy, but they’ll never win with Campbell as a coach. He’s just too much of a moron. Edited January 29 by edhunter 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puts less pressure on Lions defense and more on 49ers offense. Edited January 29 by Inthend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiBeers Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 *sigh* welp there it is. alot of vitriol here against Campbell. Ok, so how many other teams were 3 points short of the superbowl this year? alot of criticism going for it on fourth downs. well that's how they got here. fact: their kicker sucks from long distance. so there's no guarantee that he would make a couple 48 yarders. In the end, it's a players game. Players gotta catch the damn ball (reynolds). players gotta have ball security (gibbs). CBs can't whiff on interceptions. I thought at half time, it was still going to be close. 49ers are too good to roll over for an entire game. Lions still set up nice for next year with no critical free agents and $61m in cap space (to buy some CBs please). At least they didn't shit the bed like the Ravens. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO when you're in that situation you take the points regardless of what you've been doing all year but obviously he doesn't think that way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His post game interview was classy, and he accepts the scrutiny that comes with that kind of decision making. I'm with you in terms of believing that playoffs are different and the better decision is to go for the points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiBeers Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I guess we'll agree to disagree, but I'll toss out some more facts because I'm a numbers guy. Lions were 17 of 20 on fourth down and 3 yards or less this season. that's 85% Career, Bagley is 77% from 40-49 and 38% from over 50. So at 47, 48 yards he is maybe 60%. If you noticed his PATs, they were pretty low. So I think his reasonable max on that field was 45 yards. So closer than 45, yes you can bet on the FG. The last 4th down was abysmal execution. But the first one, Reynolds has to make the catch. He's better than that. OC Johnson going to head coach the Redskins uhh Washington what's-their-name next year. That's a sentence to hell, but so be it. A lot of credit to him, but he got too cute at times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
