Sure. No one knows how it’ll work. I just hate the “take the points” because there’s no guarantee they get points on a 47 yard kick.
When he went for the 2-point conversion from the 7 yard line (or was it the 12? either way) against Dallas you knew he was a madman.
Indeed.
well, having a chance at a stop here I guess is better than SF bleeding out the clock
I can’t remember a collapse like this in a big game. I am sure it has happened but this is epic. Even the Falcons kept making plays. The Lions have just folded like a tent.
I have been told it’s who they are and their kicker its no guarantee. It was the right decision.
I sorta get the "dance with the one that brung ya" logic, but it really seems like Campbell treated this like a regular season game. Sometimes you have to adjust to the situation.
They could be getting the ball back with a chance to tie or win the game. Instead, they are dead.
I don’t know what that means. They aren’t turning their backs on Campbell after this game regardless of the outcome. Maybe the Get Up crowd will but Lions will be back and continue their approach.
Offense has done jack squat this half, but underperforming D is also true. They only needed to defend 10 out of 30 minutes in the first half, should have had a little more in the tank the second half.
The Falcons said after the game they were just trying to stay aggressive.
Campbell will be celebrated or defended by many media for being consistent and gutsy
And here is a silver lining if you were rooting for the underdog - this niners team looks like a group with a much better chance against KC
Yeah, I think this underscores why going for it was the right call. The defense is gassed. You needed a touchdown there, or at least a field goal with a lot less time on the clock and the defense a bit better rested.
Edit: And even that assumes they make the kick.
He will be so annoying after the game too talking about playing the way that got them here.m with no regard for the situation or stakes.
Their kicker is 17-21 from 40-49 over the last two seasons and 4/6 from 50+. It's not Patterson anymore.
Those odds seem better than converting 4th down in those situations. And that's just putting aside the fact, the first one would have given them a 3 score lead and the 2nd was to tie the game.
Great comp. I could hear a Lions fans shouting at him, "Will someone tell him he doesn't have to go for it there?"
