Only a little?!

Falcons were at home in that game and I believe small favorites. There were some differences.

You always turn a two possession lead into a three possession lead when you can. 
 

going for it there was a sin. Campbell tempted the Gods and was punished accordingly!

I feel for Lions fans though, what a gut punch 

I’m not sure how many more playoff runs you are going on with Goff

Not almost.  Very much so.  It's interesting that Kyle Shanahan was the OC on that Falcons' team that blew it (and was essentially still "playing fast" in the 2nd half).  

Dance with the broad that brung ya.

That pass should have been intercepted if played right. Then how about that gust of wind on the Broncos kickoff that dropped the ball well in front of Meggett and the Broncos recovered.

Curtis Martin slipping all over the place and fumbling while Terrell Davis was running it down our throats. Excruciating

Lions fans hating all the gas! Want more brake! Bizzaro world. 

Give Campbell credit for getting the Lions to NFC Championship game, but he was awful today.

That type of logic is ridiculous, imo.  It's like an OC or DC who gets hired and refuses to implement a system that is best suited to the personnel they have.  Is Dan Campbell that idiotic that he doesn't understand the benefit of going up 3 scores a little past the midway mark of the 3rd quarter in the NFC CG?

I rewatched that game not all that long ago.  Denver's defense absolutely dominated us that day.

Spare me that “stayed true to himself” bull crap. There’s times to be aggressive. There’s time to be smart. 

And it was flat out dumb. Both times. Could have kept it at 3 score lead and keep the momentum off. You didn’t. 

Could’ve tied the game. Keep it close. You didn’t. 

Just bad. 

Yep 

no excuse for that 

I legitimately think they are probably in the SB right now if he just went up 17

that started the fire

Parcells used to say , don’t be the guy that sends your team home . Campbell sent the Lions home today . Astonishingly bad decision making …I’m floored , Lions were by far the better team . The HC let the entire franchise down with utter bafoonery.

Campbell is a good coach.  Today was not a good day for him.  Worst possible time for a bad game for an HC.

TODAY???? did you see the Dallas game, the reason this game was played in SF and not Detroit? went for it 3 times on a 2 pt conv even though a XP ties the game and goes into OT. even though he got a Pen and even went for it on the 7 yd line. 

could it be that we just happened to watch the 2 worst games of his coaching career, or does he do this every week? my guess is he does it all the time and we are going to here as much this week.

Agreed.  If nothing else, it would've been hugely deflating for SF to have traded FGs 8 minutes into the 3rd quarter and, thus, still trailed by 3 scores.

Yup , Purdy was dying to turn the ball over at that point also …he had zero going for him until that play . Lions win comfortably of Campbell puts them up 17..astonishingly bad decision making .

Exactly right.  And he also said something about how there's no guarantees the next year.  You start from scratch again.  In other words, these chances are precious and you can't blow them.  Dan Campbell blew it though.

As painful as it was to lose when we were up 10-0 in the 2h, we didn't really deserve that game.  Denver's defense was absolutely outstanding that day.  And their offense came alive in the 2nd half.  That score could've been a lot worse.  

Well, it helps when Keith Byars fumbles 10 goddamn times

[TuscanyTile2]

It's kind of surprising that Campbell went for the FG right before the half.

We were up 10-0 early 2nd half. It all turned when Elway hit McCaffery on that bomb. If memory serves me Victor Greene misplayed the ball that could have been intercepted.

I think he fell down.  Right after that TD, we fumbled the kickoff and Denver kicked a FG to tie the game.  It was basically a parade of errors in the 2nd half.  Denver's defense was absolutely stellar that day though.

I agree. I actually thought he was going to screw that up and go for the TD.

Could very possibly be the worst coached game in a big spot I have ever seen. Thought I saw it all ….how does the guy look the players in the eye after this ? Historically bad .

I think the Falcons game was worse (they didn't even run the clock down before snapping the ball) but it was close.

Yes, they were dominant 

[Mogglez]

13 minutes ago, slimjasi said:

Yep 

going for 2 in that game after that penalty call was foolish just like not turning it immediately back to a 17 point game in this one was also foolish 

Those who don’t learn from their mistakes are doomed to repeat them.  I made the same critique about Dan after the Cowboys game:

 

[TuscanyTile2]

These games remind you that, even if the Jets do have a deep run in the postseason, that it could end in this kind of disaster.  Sports can be awfully cruel.  I feel for Lions' fans right now.

Beginning of the end for any respect I had for Martin. Stats may be great, but in tough playoff games, not your guy. When it came to playoff games, was never a factor except as a negative. 

[JustEndTheSuffering]

The 4th down decisions were ridiculous but let’s not forget the run on third and goal at the end of that game. You pass into the endzone if it’s incomplete you take 3 keep yourself in the game and try to get the ball back. Instead he (again) banked on getting a 4th down conversion ON TOP OF an onside kick. Pitifully managed 2nd half by Campbell.

Their run defense was - we should have scored though the air in the first half. 
 

The Byars and Martin fumbles in the first half were killer. Should have had somewhere between 9 and 17 points at halftime, but were only up 3-0 because of those plays. Also, Hall missed a kick on the opening drive 

[Jigsaw89]

Feel for Lions fans. Unless Dan Campbell can learn the difference between a ballsy call and an utterly stupid call, the Lions will fade away.  After the Dallas game I knew he'd blow a big playoff game Dan Quinn style.

I have a friend who is a Lions fan.  I have been texting with him all week.  No way I am reaching out to him right now.  I feel terrible for the Lions and their fans.  They had this.

 

No you can’t. I was watching with 5 Lions fans, said thanks for the food and left when it was over. I wouldn’t want to talk to anyone and neither do they. 

[TuscanyTile2]

Todd Bowles advised Dan Campbell not to take his administrative timeout at the end there.

Dan cost his team that game just like he did vs the cowboys

He tried to bite off a knee cap when a noogie would have sufficed.

Honestly i would be shocked if the jets even make the playoffs at any point during next 10 years.  Forget about making a run
