People have to stop acting like the field goals are automatic Prior to tonight, Detroit had been in plus territory with 4th and 3 or less 24 times on the season. They went for it 20 times and converted on 17 of those previous attempts. Going for it in those high stress situations tonight makes me think more of Dan Campbell, not less. His teams were focused and prepared for each and every playoff game and he stayed true to what he preaches on a daily basis. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detroits success rate is much higher, and they were gashing the Niners Oh and it worked. Reynolds just dropped the ball 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before accounting for team specifics. With the possibility of the additional points with success, it's not nearly as egregious as people are making it 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reynolds just dropped the ball And it's not just that everything went wrong for Detroit after that, it's that the 9ers capitalized on every single mistake. Going dropped pass on 4th down to dropped INT turned 50+ yard completion a few plays later was the game. That's an extremely hard swing to come back from for any team and especially an inexperienced one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pathetic average inside 50. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They held tough after the half, and did what they had to do to come back. It's kind of like the Chargers/Jaguars game last year. Every break went the Chargers way in the first half, and it would have been easy for the Jags to just give up and say "Oh well, we tried." Like the Niners this year, the Jags scored each time they got the ball, played within themselves, and their defense held the Chargers from scoring for the rest of the game. In both cases, the result came about because one team did what they had to do and won the game, rather than the other teams "losing it." This whole thing has drained me. The Lions aren't even my team, but I was really wanting them to win. I don't have anything against the 49ers, but it still feels almost the same as after a Bears playoff loss. It's the main reason why I have come to enjoy the draft more than the playoffs, because after the draft, just about every team leaves feeling hopeful. In the playoffs, it always ends with all but one team's fan base being disappointed. Yup and Staley and Campbell are two of the same, have to go up 3 score in the POs on the road especially….

49ersfan Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 The worst decision made by Campbell today was running it on 3rd & goal at the end of the game. They didn't make it & had to take a TO. Under 2 minutes, you have to preserve all 3 TO's. They would have been better off kicking a FG with 3 TO's then what actually happened - a TD & 2 TO's. Once you have to rely on an onside, the game is effectively over 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momentum is a real thing. Not getting any points on a time consuming drive when most NFL games are decided by 3 pts or less, is a real thing. You take points. Worked for decades until this analytics BS. Now everyone wants to reinvent the wheel. Prove their genius.
