Dan Campbell is a fool

[Creeper]

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.

100%. Plus, if it was the Cowboys that screwed up that 2 point conversion play with the refs, I guarantee the narrative would be about how the player is responsible for making sure the ref knows he reported and the coaches have to make sure the player gets the play right with the refs, blah, blah, blah. The Lions are this year's beauty queens. So of course they had no fault in the way that play turned out. Dan Campbell's temper tantrum on the field proves it!

Have you noticed how Lion's defenders are asking, why did Decker (68) go to the refs if not to report as eligible? But they ignore that 70 and 58 also went to the refs and claim they did not report? But the question is why did 58 and 70 go to the refs if they were not going to report as eligible? Videos of the three players near the refs do not tell us which one(s) reported as eligible. All 3 or none could have reported. What matter is the refs thought #70 reported and they announced it to both teams. The Lions made no attempt to correct the refs impression and they got burned. It is on them, as it would have been on the Cowboys had they made the same mistake.

I like Campbell and think he is a good coach but he made a major mistake of not tying the game after the penalty.

 

[Vtwin]

The play was there to be made. Campbell didn't screw up the execution.

It seems like just ego. I get but don’t agree with going before the penalty. But after the penalty it was dumb. And he should have took the 3 earlier in the game

 

[GMO415]

Stubborn more like it.

 

[BoysForLife]

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

I think it's easy and even reasonable to draw that conclusion but this has been his M.O. all season

The Lions have gone for it on 4th down more than any other NFL team by a wide margin. They've done it all year

I think you can legitimately question the decision to stick with a 2 point try, after the penalty on the first attempt.

But IMO this had nothing to do with disrespect for our defense. They do this type of stuff week in and week out

 

[reddyuta]

frnakly they had more on the line than us,they were on a roll and should have played for OT.

So true, I was thinking about this too. It would be from our own fans, and it would be from the national media. McCarthy would be lit on fire.

I pity the foo!

It’s a long standing unwritten rule that you go for 2 on the road and kick the FG at home. Now, going for 2 after the penalty does not fit int9 that unwritten rules. That’s just being aggressive and foolish.

 

[erod]

Just imagine what Cee Dee could do if Dallas had an actual run game....

He'd have a lot fewer catches.

 

[Fmart322]

I'll take the occasional fumble if he goes for 227 every week...

I'm not saying I wouldn't either but it's just another IF scenario.

 

[Fmart322]

Imagine if Goff didn’t throw the stupid screen INT that set it up. Or the DL decided to actually tackle Dak instead of do what he did on that 92 yard pass play…

See, we can play the IF scenario all day long.

 

[bigE79]

McCarthy is just as big of a Baffoon. Second down pass gave them 40 seconds . Timeout on the 2 pt when you needed that with 23 seconds left with the kicker you have

Actually,dak said it was his call,said he just got greedy.

 

[mrmojo]

His aggressiveness is nice now that he is the shiny new toy.....but until it costs him a playoff game or more important regular season games the shine will wear off like the former coach of the Chargers.

 

[links18]

He ain't the only one making these kinds of moronic decisions. "Analytics" is taking over and it's turning coaches into dupes. Sometimes, you have to take the easy points, you dolts!
