So the question remains, if you were a coach and could design plays that circumvent NFL rules and in so doing win games would you do it? Simple question?

And why he sent 70 in reporting when the play went to decker????? Is there any plausible explanation other than obfuscation? So either 70 was on drugs or he was told what to do.
lol wut? Obfuscation?

70 was announced. Campbell should have heard it. I was curious Campbell's thoughts.

Obfuscation by the lions. Purposely sending in 70 to report and then throwing to decker? 70 did show visible reporting no question.

Im not a fan of relying of the "Dont hate me for being smart" or "If you aint cheatin', you aint tryin'" stance

Beat another opponent the right way and prove yourself.

Im not really into the "work smarter, not harder" approach in sports.

I wouldn't do it.

There are kids learning from your actions...your teaching them to be shady.

Now...if you believe this world is a real survival simulation....I guess cheating to win and survive is a thing....but that's different circumstances.

In sports....win straight up on the field....not with all this trash behavior

So cheating is okay in some situations? Because basically there are many on here providing a case that because everyone does it is perfectly acceptable. And that no problem with Campbell breaking nfl rules if he can get away with it. And they provide support for this by saying that offenses do many things to confuse defenses even though all the plays they suggest break no nfl rules.

Now you are going down a rabbit hole.

Sports isnt survival.

If Campbell is creating a situation where he gets an extra eligible receiver...hes cheating. He put this on the refs and they accidentally or intentionally foiled his plan.

It was smart...but he just seems like a guy that would rob his neighbor now. His only excuse is " I hate to lose, Brad"

Its corny, really.

Of course what Campbell was trying to do was cheating. Not just extras receiver, no one knew who it was. How is this fair. But many on here liken it to legal plays on offense like mis direction plays, play action, fake punt, etc all to distract and deceive none of which violates any nfl rule. I guess we just have sunk so far as a culture where wrong is right and right is wrong that nobody seems to know the difference or even cares if they know.

So if someone hypothetically kills someone and takes their stuff and it furthers their survival, that is okay?

It appeared Campbell had no respect for our defense. It took them no time to go down the field and score with 1:41 left. They even made the first 2-point conversion look easy.

Wonder why they didn’t want to go to OT. Guessing he didn’t think he would win any other way…

How many besides myself heard Dan Campbell in his post game interview telling the truth that 70 reported.
He specifically said when asked 70 reported, then said 2 players can’t report, but the rule book says you can have more than 1 players report.

Such an *** haha , got caught trying to be deceitful and it backfired

The entire media is ablaze with this stupidity. But it makes stupid people like Rex Ryan sound even stupider.

Dan Campbell has given Michigan hope in an NFL football team for the first time in a long time. Players love him.

Campbell is liar, a cheater, and a scumbag. He will continue doing this. He is cut in the mold of winning at all costs ethics be damned. This is not nice person. He should have been fined by the NFL.
