FEATURED Conference Championship Game Thread

It was fun while it lasted

Lions coach lost this.

 

[McKDaddy]

No, you go 3 scores up. Period.

I would have too ... but it's not that simple. If they convert (which they should have), it's a dagger of its own. There is a fine line between being confident & staying aggressive to put a team away and getting passive and your team getting out of their mojo.

So if Lions lose, does Dan get fired.

no

I've seen this movie before with a team in blue

 

[NFCBeasts]

Lions gonna Lion

 

[Mark]

Dan Campbell is a complete idiot, alone bearing responsibility for this turn of events. Maybe his team will find a way to bail him out.

You figure the Lions would realize they’re the Lions eventually.

And THIS is why your franchise has never been to a Super Bowl.

 

[Powerforward88]

I think the Lions defense will hold strong. Lots of football left to be played.

Gonna have to bite some knees

 

[Rockport]

Gotta hold em to a FG.

 

[cowboyfan4life2]

Lions are cooked

 

[MarcusRock]

Lions remembering they're the Lions

Plus the refs are gonna pile on. Lol.

 

[Redsfan_83]

DC and his arroagance....can't help himself

That’s not a risk you take 2 scores up . If you are behind , sure.

Even if you score a TD still 3 scores up. Not much to gain .

Lions coach lost this.

It’s not over yet.

 

[SlammedZero]

I said it when he dropped that 4th down pick that was going to shift momentum.

 

[Fizziksman]

coaching matters. This is basically him going for three two point conversions instead of kicking the PAT and sending it to Overtime levels of pigheadness

 

[Pentagruel]

This is all on Campbell. Yes, of course, his team shouldn’t collapse like that, but the call was inexcusable. You give yourself a three score buffer and everyone, everyone reacts differently to everything. Just two scores? The pressure is still on. Just astonishingly bad decision by him.

 

[Clove]

That coaching decision may have cost Lions the title, just like it cost the lions the 2 seed.

So if Lions lose, does Dan get fired.

Nope, he got them farther than they've ever gotten.
