Signed, [edited for forgetfulness]What’s the point of the timeout
They can't actually burn all the time with the 2 timeouts and like 50s on the clock without running playsWhy even risk hand off?
Yah it's awful.I really liked the Lions, so I'm fairly sad at this outcome. That is going to be brutal in Detroit for awhile.
True, though probably still not worth the risk.Handing off saved them from having to do something on fourth down.
Too soon.
But you’re already at like a 99.9% win probability. Odds of something bad going there are probably higher than something bad going on 4th down. Either way, obviously doesn’t matter now.Take more time off clock
Eliminating the running head start was part of the rule changes for onside kicks.were there actually a bunch of head injuries on onside attempts the last several years that led to new rules? It’s not like guys are running into each other with a 40 yard head start.
100 pct correctPeople will spend all offseason killing Campbell but if Reynolds makes any of those three plays—the two drops and the block on the Montgomery run—they are tied or possibly ahead.
I have a good friend who’s a huge lions fan and he is indeed going apeshitI would be going apeshit if I was a Lions fan
sure but part of the calculus of any “go for it” scenario has to be the players not executing properly so Campbell still deserves a ton of blame100 pct correct
