Could the niners get any luckier there

Getting to a conference championship game?

Ok, so the second half decisions to go for it instead of kick it will be brought up.  Whatcha think?  I know what the analytics say, so I won’t kill him for the decisions.  I’m not a slave to the analytics, though.  I probably kick it both times but I understand  Campbell got them here by going for it in those situations.

That choke job made some of the Vikings collapses look tame by comparison. 

Maybe you could have sold me on the first 4th down attempt, but the 2nd one? Hell no. 

[FearlessF]

I'd have kicked the first one to tie the game

the 2nd one I'd have went for it.

But, I can see it either way on either decision

great decisions if you convert

That really was a choke job, too. The potential INT that  bounced off the guy’s face mask that Aiyuk caught.  Then the fumble.  Then the dropped pass on 3rd down that would have kept the drive alive.  Then the terrific punt that should have been downed at the 1, but was carried into the EZ.  Then a drive or two later  Goff throws a great ball to Williams downfield  that he never really reacted well to. Shoulda been a TD.

And everything I just named was independent of Campbell’s two kick or go decisions.  That’s a really tough loss.

Probably would have kicked the first time to go up by 3 possessions. The 2nd time probably felt like a field goal wasn't going to cut it, though getting some points might have helped the team's psyche

Don't forget that play where they had ahold of Purdy for a sack and then he got out of it and threw for a first down.

the turn around was so swift/shocking in the 3rd qtr.When the lions were on the 28 i believe still with a 14 pt lead didn't take the FG and botched it they did by going for it.49ers then heave the ball 50 yrds down field on a richot that some how came back to the 49ers  WR. Sort of like the Immaculate Reception Lite . Wasn't long before the same WR - Aiyuk caught a TD.Couldn't believe a play or two later Lions coughed it up on their own 24. Of course McCaffrey scores to tie it up not long after. It was a about that time I turned it off - too painful,reminded me of the Browns. Thought i saw every way a team could snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. How wrong I was

You that was an epic choke job. still not over it. might’ve been the last shot the Lions will have to make it to a Super Bowl in my life time.

That team wins in spite of Dan Campbell. The guy is a river boat casino captain with CTE and just does really dumb stupid shit like he’s a 13 year old playing Madden.

That Lions roster has all the pieces in place. I’d fire Campbell and hire Bill Belichik with the caveat and understanding with Bill that he’s just the coach and not the GM. There’s not a better coach in the game than Belichik. At the same time there’s also not a worse GM.

Cowboys fans laugh at this assertion.

Well the one time the receiver dropped it but I still would have went for 3 putting them back up 3 scores. Ya beginning to realize Browns/Indians prolly not going to get to the promised land before I go toes up. Specially with the owner that slappie Hasflem
