“Going for it on fourth and one was the correct decision.” - Dan Campbell
Me, I want a mandatory ‘no kick in the red zone’ if less than five yards to go. The short ones are just excuses to start rolling 5 minutes of commercials after the kick and another 5 minutes of them after the boring touchback blast into the end zone. I want carnage.
He missed six extra points during the regular season (plus another missed XP in last week’s game against Dallas); including the miss last night, he was only 44% (4 out of 9) for the year on field goals from 40 to 49 yards, a range where a good kicker is expected to be at least 80% accurate. Those stats don’t lend themselves to longevity in the league.
I think the Lions advancing in this playoffs has the town buzzing more than I’ve seen in a long time. Possibly when the Red Wings won the Stanley Cup in 1997.
I have to say, I talked with my son today about how outrageous it would be to both win the national championship in NCAA football AND the Super Bowl.
If forced to choose, I would still pick Michigan winning the college championship, so I’m still pretty happy no matter what.
I’m definitely a fairweather fan at this point, but let’s be honest, the Lions over the 45 years of my life have deserved fairweather fans.
Great play call against the blitz for a TB TD. Surprised Campbell didnt challenge the non-sack the play before.
I like Todd Bowles, respect Mayfield, love Campbell, want to root for Lions fan, so I’m torn on rooting interest. Both teams playing better in the second half, which is a relief.
We are having vigorous debates on Tampa attempting 2 on their last TD. I don’t think it was the worst decision ever. Others watching with me think it was.
