Popular Post Jet2020 Posted January 21 Popular Post Share Posted January 21 4th down at the 33, 36 seconds left, one time out. Call a timeout, force Lions to punt or try a 50+ yard FG. Chances are they punt and not risk a blocked FG. You’d still get about 25+ seconds against prevent D. Couple of short sideline passes and you could have possibly 2 shots at Hail Mary if all goes as planned. Why wave the white flag in a playoff game? If this was week 6, I’d understand you don’t wanna risk unnecessary injury for a shot at a miracle, but this is the playoffs. What is TB going to do with the time out? Use it in the off-season? If I was a Tampa Bay fan, I’d be livid. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billo83 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Because toilet bowl is a terrible head coach? I'm surprised he didn't punt down two scores with a little over 5 minutes left. Maybe he learned something finally. But certainly not clock management 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I saw they had a t.o. but i assumed the down meant they could run out the clock regardless, if that is not the case then bowles is a bigger bonehead than i thought. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they took a knee on 3rd down. Would’ve been 4th down. See the pic, shows them taking a knee on 3rd down. 1 timeout still remaining with about 35 seconds left on the clock. I was pissed and I’m not even a Bucs fan. I just wanted to see some drama but Toilet Bowls proved how terrible of a HC he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be really honest the lions were kneeling early Goff kneeled on 2nd down with 16 seconds on the play clock Once Bowles didn't Take the first time out it was seen as a concession and everyone got sloppy To call the time out on 4th down is technically possible but it would be considered a dick move But let's walk that dog he calls time out the lions either kick a 48 yarder or punt them inside the ten. That leaves tbb about 25 seconds to go 90 yards plus a two point conversion to tie It's possible but highly unlikely The game was done.

Kickers DO miss 45 yarders....look at Buffalo last night. It's at the very least worth seeing it play out. C'mon man, you know taking the timeout was the right play. Honestly I just assumed the graphic was wrong and they didn't actually have one. It made zero sense not to use it. Make them kick the field goal. If they miss or you block, you're still in the game. It's not like we're talking a one in a million chance here. What's the worst that can happen? He makes it and you let the kickoff go through the end zone and then take a knee? Versus best case, he misses and you have 30+ seconds to pull off a miracle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His team marched 92 yards in 72 seconds to score a TD right before halftime and he gave up on his team at the end of the game. He's an absolute joke of a head coach. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst coaching decision in the entire game was Dan Campbell choosing not to challenge the baker sack when his calf was down The way it ended the game was over Lets not forget baker just threw a dumb int. He was just gonna throw another one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmat321 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 The series before the Lions went up by 2 scores in the middle of the 4th, the Bucs were facing like a 4th and 5 or something and punted. I felt that was typical Bowles playing not to lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's some talk from the Detroit folks they would have punted rather than kicked the field goal Their punter is automatic at pinning teams inside the 20. The kicker is only 77 percent over 45 yards So it's 25 seconds to go 80 or 90 yards with no timeouts and baker in full interception mode I get what everyone is saying but it's over at that point Good night Gracie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
