Gonna Be A Good One GDT !!!

That was extremely stupid

I am OK with the call because a 1st down ices the game. But, I was worried without Jurgens in there.

I mean, they have never been stopped back to back like that.

2 weeks in a row we don’t punt like we should have.

the way the D is playing punt it and make it a long field.

[Rossovich]

I wish I had confidence we can get a first down

[sfphillyfan]

Even if we win, Nick is an asshole for going for it.

[dawkins20]

Please punt the ball this time

[dawkins20]

Thank God he wasn’t a yard short

Agreed. He lets his ego but fuck his logic at times.

[Pliny]

I know that I am in the minority. But, we make that 4th and inches 19 out of 20 times. What makes it questionable IMO is losing Jergans on that 4th and inches.

Nick was going with the odds IMO.

Lions fans are probably up in arms about Campbell going for it 5 times on 4th down and failing 5 times.

Great win despite the Coaching! But in all honesty that PI call on Detroit was absolute garbage! Refs are just killing the game! Missed three neutral zone infractions on Detroit then blow that call as well!

[flyered]

That's twice.. They need to make the Campbell asshole pay for his hubris.

I am gonna say we have an asshole of our own. You don’t go for it on 4th down last week or this week late in game and give life to a dead team. Confidence in your team is fine, but you MUST respect your opponent.

With 20/20 hindsight, I wish we had punted. But we had just gotten 9/10 of the distance we needed on the 3rd down shove play. You usually think you can get 2-3 inches at least, so I wasn't surprised or particularly annoyed we tried. But, making Detroit go the length of the field for two scores was not a bad option either. Just kinda felt like they were trying to not have the defense go out there yet again. Only issue was having a second backup OL in the game.

My thoughts exactly.

Totally agree. It was horrible last night. The Steen false start and AJ low block were brutal and bad calls. The PI on Det on AJ was even worse. Not open. Bad throw. Contact by both.

You could think maybe it was a makeup call. But those refs didn’t seem bright enough for that.

[andrewaters]

3 minutes left in the game. You punt there every time just because of the situation.

The only way you can lose the game at that point is to NOT punt and give Detroit the short field and a chance to score. Which they did.

Think about it... they went backwards on that drive and still kicked the FG to make it a one score game.

I totally love Nick's aggressiveness most of the time. But he did smartly kick the FG in the second quarter taking the points. He also kicked a FG in the second half which was not an easy kick in the wind.

But that frigging going for it crap last week and this week is wrong. Someone needs to do an intervention here.
