I mean the play was there, but I would have kicked. You set the game back to what it was at the half except there's 8 minutes gone from the clock.
They've had very few periods where they've been bad post-merger. A few years in the mid-70's pre-Walsh, the period between Mariucci and Harbaugh and then between Harbaugh and Shanahan. The '00s were the only decade where they didn't make at least 1 appearance in the NFC Championship.19 conference championship games really is remarkable.
Yeah but also CATCH THE BALLThat is Campbell’s Achilles heel. I get that it got him here but you are still on the road against a great team you fucking numpty.
Threw a pick ball that bounced right to the WR, no idea what connection there isThis is why you kick the FG.
The Pats would have won in 2015 if they kicked.
No, you kick the field goal because you never know what's going to happen ... even a ridiculous playI don’t get it? You kick the FG because a guy could make a ridonkulous catch that should have been a pick?
It's simple, you kick the FG because you didn't convert. If you convert then they go for it because you put the game awayI don’t get it? You kick the FG because a guy could make a ridonkulous catch that should have been a pick?
Having never played I don’t know the value of that stuff. But being 6 quarters from a championship with a very good kicker all that stuff goes out the window. (My opinion.) Three scores is three scores.At this point I do t think Campbell wants to change his team’s approach. The confidence on 4th down is a signature for this team.
BB would have obviously been conservative with 3 scores but how can you fault the guy for staying true to the character that is defining this team.
Eh. It’s the Lions, they’ve been going for it on 4th more than anyone in the league for 3 years. It serves them well.No, you kick the field goal because you never know what's going to happen ... even a ridiculous play
Doesn't matter how they got there. The game is playing out as it's playing out.Threw a pick ball that bounced right to the WR, no idea what connection there is
If that’s picked, as it should have been, do you still think they should’ve kicked? Presumably yes
Right I forgot the logic of 20/20 hindsight always being correct.\

Also.... they have a really good offense and their defense is bad against the pass. Hoping to cling to a lead isn't going to win them this gameEh. It’s the Lions, they’ve been going for it on 4th more than anyone in the league for 3 years. It serves them well.
