Dan Campbell is a fool

[Diehardblues]

I believe they had a 30% chance to get the 1 or 2 seed before this game. It mattered.

They would have needed to win out and Phil lose one to get 2 seed.

Lions were robbed on 1st try but was dumb to go for it after penalty.

dan campbell is a hero .

Not true, they only had to win out.

Campbell took over a garbage team and has them in the playoffs in year three. Yes, he's a gambler, but he's not a fool. A fool doesn't turn around the Lions.

In playoff football you can’t give away points . He gave up 3 in the 1st half.

And after robbed on 1st try was dumb to go for it after being pushed back 5 yards.

At first I felt sorry for them and then felt like they deserved to lose. 3 attempts was dumber than dumb.

Det had better conf record?

If they beat Dallas, yes.

You are thinking in terms of the game mattering to him & his team. It didn't. He was looking to build confidence and reward his guys. I'm guessing the refs screwed them on the reporting issue by the way they reacted. It looks like the play may have still been illegal though.

On the post game they say the referee crew responded to what was said and said it was not as the Lions are stating...and that their was an illegal formation penalty as well.

they weren't but please go on

Even Troy said they were. #68 reported to official. We saw it. What else could he do but tell defense? Official blew it.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

Agreed, but that also shows you how much he DOES NOT respect this overrated defense

The fake punt reeked of desperation too. Bones Fassel needs to wake up, though.

 

[AbeBeta]

Imagine if that was our coach continuing to go for two, even after the penalty on the first two point try. People would be losing their minds in a way that we’ve never see before.

Lions deserve to lose for those decisions.

Campbell is a great coach. Shut up.

Do you want to see Sean McVay clones?

Campbell is real.

Y'all go "idiot" when when decisions work

 

[ShiningStar]

im sure when we were losing many fans would have wanted Dan Campbell or proclaimed to have wanted him.

A fool? Hardly, took a risk? in a game of risks? shocking.

 

[sacase]

Its not a bad call. They are going to be #3 seed at worst. They have an opportunity to win in an amazing fashion and perhaps get a higher seed. He took the opportunity. I would have also. He literally lost nothing but doing that.

 

[krs1bro]

This is exactly what we are reminded of with DQ calling defensive plays. Way overatted and predictable from this guy. Go be a head coach somewhere. Just dropped the ball......I used to be on the players butts, it's DQ that is not doing his job putting us in positive situations.......come at me forum, you know i'm right here.

 

[Walker]

Was a fun game though

 

[VaqueroTD]

McCarthy was saved by his opposition‘s bigger mistake. It would be nonstop Big Mac must be fired right now if we had lost that game.

 

[MS17]

We can all second guess Campbell's decisions tonight. Fine. But he was one of the first players (ex Giant) Parcells brought to Dallas in 2003.
Called a "Parcells Player", he mentored Jason Witten and played injured his whole time in Dallas. I think Parcells said he was "the toughest SOB on the team', etc.
Who knows, the dude could be a really fine NFL coach one day. Or even return to his native Texas...to coach?

ABC's version on Steratore said there were 3 penalties on the play

Being Aggressive Over And Leads To Confusion on That 2 Point Play..

You Got 3 OL Huddling Around The Ref,Hey I'm Eligible Or I'm Ineligible.I Think The Lions Is Partly The Blame Confusion To The Ref Here..Just Saying
