Lots of reasons for that Lion loss yesterday and it includes the 49er's and Purdy making some great plays in the 2nd half. Concerning the 4th down attempts the Lions/Campbell made more 4th down conversions than any other team in the NFL. I saw a stat they were 17 for 20 on 4th down/3yds or less to go (85% rate). Their FG kicker is a career 77% from 40-49 yds so even the analytics would have favored going for it. Reynolds also dropped that first attempt. Campbell and his aggressive approach is a big part of the team's success. As noted you are a hero when it works and criticized when you fail.
Don't think Detroit is going anywhere. Goff should have some more good years left and remember they have some outstanding young talent. Sewell, Hutchinson, St. Brown, Laporta, Gibbs are all studs..Appears that GM/Holmes really knows what he is doing in building a team.

Yeah, Hound.
He looked at one really, really close.
Oh so close.
I love his ball sack calls.
2 drops by Reynolds. He was shown grinning about his first missed one, like it wasn’t his fault. Bullcrap. Not a perfect ball. Full catchable. Very important. Was given a second chance on another important one. And blew it.
Who’s he gonna get a chance to play for on a change of scenery next year? Or hold on to his development?

Bad tackling. You hit with force and wrap. Immediately.
Impose your will. That will was not administered in the second half.
Yards after contact was for the birds.
No hard statement drop & stops.
Strong drives of putting that SanFran d line on their back heels after driving 7 at a time and then going cute. Bullcrap. Step a guy down and stay on his neck until he can’t stop you. Make a true statement.
Don’t try to show off.
Grrrrrrrrrr.

Very true FH. How many coaches get blamed for a loss cuz theyre too conservative. Arm Chair hind sight is always 20/20.
Its been shown that if you dont play a risky game your players will lose confidence in themselves and in the coaching or just lose interest in playing.

Run the ball up the middle for 8 yards. Run the ball up the middle for 14 yards. Then 7 yards, etc.
Then call a flea flicker? Incomplete. Behind the sticks. Pass again. Pass again, punt.
Wide open dropped passes late in the game. Giving up 6 points to go for it on 4th down.
Had the Lions simply stuck with the run they would have won easily.
It will be predicted the Lions will be back. They are young and going in the right direction. There is always the chance this was it, their chance. It’s hard to get back to the NFC Championship game. The Lions had a lot of things go right for them this year. I’m skeptical they will ever get this far again.
