Have a hard time convincing me the analytics were on his side. He was just wrong no matter how you look at it. 

Preaching to the choir and losing momentum doesn't outweigh a computer program spitting out numbers is what I'm told.

Pretty confident the Lions win this game with any other coach of a playoff team. Campbell's overly macho facade built them into what they are but you have to wonder if it wins them it all, because he was straight horrendous in the 2nd half.

Could be a coach that can get you close, but just can't get over the last hurdle

I think a lot of coaches would be fired for this as well

The truly mindblowing thing about that game is even after that epic chokejob, the Lions still would’ve won if they would’ve just kicked the 2 FGs instead of going for it on 4th down and not getting it both times.

This is why they say take the points.

Momentum is a REAL thing in team sports. When you have your foot on an opponent's throat, you don't let up and you don't give them any reason to have hope. Taking the 3 points keeps the momentum in your corner. Them getting a stop, immediately gives them hope and the MONEMTUM! When it switches, you may never get it back. Why give them hope? 

It played out in real life, in the second biggest stage in football. People trying to defend that decision don't understand you don't play the game on a computer. It's real life with real people. 

 

 

Complete agreement here.  People forget the human factor involved.

Brady was a master of "feel"...the moment, game flow, etc.  Purdy also seems to have this.

DET wound up making a bet that Goff could complete a pass to an open WR about 10 yards away while facing no immediate pressure.  They lost that bet tonight.  It doesn't mean it was a bad bet to make.

It was wholly unnecessary due to the downside risk.

Their chances of losing skyrocketed with that drop.

They lost by 3 (after being up by 17, unreal) and declined to kick very makeable FGs twice, turning it over on downs both times instead. 6 is more than 3 as far as I’m aware.
