Was gonna say same. I thought the SB broke him.Glad for Goff, always happy to see a guy written off have some success.
Especially when you have Puka and Cupp. I would have gone for it. At least give yourself a chance.Punting with one TO left and then that TO usage was a tough look.

+ 1. Happy for Detroit as well. I like Campbell, and they are definitely my bandwagon team for these playoffs.Glad for Goff, always happy to see a guy written off have some success.
And if you don’t get it, you’ve only ceded field position that’s unlikely to matter. You can’t allow two first downs regardless, so risking field position just doesn’t matter as much as the win expectancy hit incurred by freely giving up possession.Especially when you have Puka and Cupp. I would have gone for it.

Yup. I’m going to really miss BB if Mayo starts doing stuff like this.And if you don’t get it, you’ve only ceded field position that’s unlikely to matter.

Miami can go another 20 years.Detroit is a very easy team to like.
Miami is now on the clock. The Dolphins haven’t won a playoff game since December 30, 2000.
Pats go 5 years without a playoff win and finish with the 2nd worst record in the league, and there are people saying it can't get any worse. Perspective.One playoff win in 32 years. Think about that.
Ok, we’ll switch him for the Geico gecko and Flo.The mayhem dude is awesome. Kinda a touching story too. Think he got some weird illness and they stuck with him. Plus he was great in Oz.

I remember my 1st Lions playoff game on TV. At some relatives house. They stuck.me in a room with a TV while the mah jong ragedOne playoff win in 32 years. Think about that.
If that guy was a Sox fan, he would have died in 2005 from aging many years the year prior. I feel like I aged from 27 to 40 that postseason.Fewer playoff games = less stress
Indeed, nice to see.Glad for Goff, always happy to see a guy written off have some success.
Good point.Why didn't McVay try the 61 yard field goal rather than punting? They had to stop the Lions if Maher missed or they punted, right?
to be fair if they didn't call a blatant grab and a headshot on 3rd down (or literally anything in the 2nd half including multiple headshots on the QB) they weren't calling anything on 4th.Yup this
And with how physical the Lions played you can get a first down via penalty too
Anyone who knows anything about football knew that Hutchinson was going to try to get a sack to knock the Rams out of FG range on that key third down play. Not chipping or double teaming him was coaching malpractice. Like the Falcons in the Super Bowl, the offense can’t lose yards by sack or penalty in that situation.Why didn't McVay try the 61 yard field goal rather than punting? They had to stop the Lions if Maher missed or they punted, right?
You don’t sayIn the betting world - the O/U was 52.5.
The score was 21-17 at halftime.
Final: 24-23.
OUCH.
The winning QB was 4 for 18 with 38 yards and a pick. Man, the game has changed....I remember my 1st Lions playoff game on TV. At some relatives house. They stuck.me in a room with a TV while the mah jong raged

he sure has - amazing coaching job. That team was the ultimate gfin team and then crashed last year…they’ve really bounced back wellHe’s had a very good year.
I assumed their K couldn’t hit that distance, some or not, they didn’t even seem to consider the FG and the teams obviously know their K’s ranges.Good point.
61 in a dome for the lead on 4th and 14 was definitely a better option.
Didn't they just grab Brett Maher off the scrap heap? That might explain why they didn't have a lot of faith in him making a 61 yarder.I assumed their K couldn’t hit that distance, some or not, they didn’t even seem to consider the FG and the teams obviously know their K’s ranges.
And, yes, he made 63 and 62 yarders…..5-6 years ago. What matters is what distance he was hitting in pregame.Didn't they just grab Brett Maher off the scrap heap? That might explain why they didn't have a lot of faith in him making a 61 yarder.
