OT: OT - NFL HFLeaf thread

[Gary Nylund]

I f***ing hate Kansas City, man

I don't mind them myself, I like watching great players excel and Mahomes is pretty great!

I have 0 dollars left in my Proline account, but have bets outstanding on the 49ers to win the West and to win the SB. Go Niners!

 

[Darcy Tucker]

They need to get one back before the half then come out strong receiving the ball. That missed FG sucked. 21-7 Lions rn, unexpected.

 

[Gary Nylund]

Detroit's been very impressive! Needless to say, I don't like my chances at this point but lots of football left to be played.

What a break for the 9ers. Turnover on downs then a boink and catch lol get em SF.

TD !

 

[LeafSteel]

Such a dumb call by the Lions to go for it. Take the FG and 17 point lead. New game after that dumb call.

 

[Darcy Tucker]

Brand new game 24-24 , let's go.

 

[LeafSteel]

Feels like it’s the 49’ers taking over now.

Lions need a huge scoring drive or this game has slipped through their fingers.

No margin for error, and it feels like they’ve already blown it.

That was an incredible catch. I mean sure there was luck involved, but it also took a ton of skill to cash in on the opportunity!

I must say I'm liking my chances a LOT better now, go Niners!

The ultimate TSN Turning Point!

Lions throwing the game away now with these 4th down plays.

Unbelievable

 

[LeafSteel]

I feel like I’m watching the Leafs here.

Fack.

 

[AllHeartNoSkill]

Think Campbell knows anything about hockey? I wish MLSE would bring in somebody who could do the Leafs what he did to the Lions.

Clarification: I meant with respect to changing the culture, not the heroics (or galaxy-braining I think it’s called).

 

[1specter]

Lions coach has done a great job most of the season but not taking those Field goals was a moronic decision. They are now 2 scores back with no time. Heartbreakimg

Such a dumb call by the Lions to go for it. Take the FG and 17 point lead. New game after that dumb call.

I can't believe they doubled down AGAIN

 

[leafsfan5]

This is a Toronto Maple Leafs esque collapse

 

[Darcy Tucker]

It was 24-7 !

 

[stickty111]

At least people can't blame analytics. I'd like MJ to say on air that this is why you can't rely on feel for the game. Analytics matter. Jeff would lose it on air

 

[BertCorbeau]

Was really hoping the Lions could have pulled it off… that dropped pass on 4th and short when they could have gotten a field goal was the turning point.

Should be a good matchup with the Niners and Chiefs

 

[Jojalu]

Too bad onside kicks rarely work after the rule change

 

[Jojalu]

Ugh. In his hands

 

[RomanianLeafs]

Sad to lose like this but i am proud of my lions heck of a season

 

[ACC1224]

Coach cost the Lions the game.
Not taking the 3 and eating a timeout so you have to rely on an onside kick is just brutal decision making.

I know he’s big on the analytics, cost them.

That wasn't the only one either, there were so many. In general, SF caught the passes, DET didn't and that was the ballgame. The game was there for the taking but it seemed like lack of experience did them in as their nerves got the better of them. That second half was reminiscent of the Leafs blowing a 3 goal load in the 3rd in game 7, just brutal. I feel bad for Detroit fans, they were so close.

Take the 3 and they still lose maybe 9 times out of 10 in that spot as the damage had been done already. Blaming the coach is pretty silly IMO considering how many passes their receivers dropped that were relatively easy catches.

Coach blew it twice on 4th down.

The first was incredibly unnecessary. Up by 14, moving the ball well, defence playing well. Instead of going up by 17, messed the 4th down and gave SF life.

Receiver’s dropping passes is a sign that they were jarred by the turn of events and tried to do too much before actually catching the ball.

2nd 4th down, kick the damn FG and the game is tied after they scored, but nope.

Lions lost this game because of their coach’s penchants for risks.

@ACC1224: Campbell or Tomlin?

Death by freezing (Tomlin) or by burning (Campbell)?

Also the run at the goal line which forced them to burn a timeout? Just brutal coaching

I’d like to think Tomlin wouldn’t make those mistakes.
