This is getting kind of gross how the Lions have blown this game.

Would've made it a 3 possession game again and they would have kept the momentum.

Again, you never ever pass up the opportunity to extend the possessions required to catch you.

Exactamente.

If San Fran comes back and wins it, Campbell will catch hell. And it will be damn well deserved

He's done a good job there but much like that dumbass eligible play against us he's dumb with his decision making sometimes.

 

[Texas Ace]

3 isn't always better than zero but any time you can change how many scores the other team needs you should usually do it.

That's the key right there -- it's not about the points, it's about the possessions.

Sure 21 is better than 17, but it's still a 3 possession game in either instance.

But there's a huge difference between 14-17 and Dan Campbell failed he recognize that.

These are real playoff teams. Damn

Playing not to lose will bite you in the butt.

The ability to read and understand momentum is a head coach skill that nobody talks that much about because it is so hard to define.

But it is real.

Talk about shitting the bed.

Talk about shitting the bed.

That tends to happen when your hotshot coordinator is thinking about their next job.

Going for it on 4th down is playing not to lose?
Fumbling on a run 1st and 10 is playing not to lose?

okay. Have it your way. Every time I come to this site you have to have something to hassle me. I will not be your whipping boy.

This Argylle movie looks fun until you realize that Cavill is the lead.

 

[Clff15701]

Doesn’t matter. Purdy can’t beat KC.

It helps when you quote the post that set you off, old friend.

No shit. If anything, he was playing way too aggressively. The exact opposite of playing not to lose.

 

[Bipo]

I think there is too much aggression going for it these days and passing on fgs.

That's the problem. The analytics dorks have convinced everyone that momentum does not exist. And that you're an uneducated moron if you believe it does.

They don't understand that these aren't flips of a coin or a random number generator. They're human beings with emotions.
