Can Detroit Lions return to NFC Championship next year? | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC
/ nflonnbc
Goff did come through. His team was dropping the ball and fumbling it
That, and he passed up two field goals. Going for it on every 4th down is BS.
That is exactly what Bears fans say about Fields.
@@someoneelse1Fields hasn't done half of what Jarred Goff has done in his career.😂😂
Goff played a great game for sure!
-9ers fan
@@someoneelse1
Except that Goff has accomplished more in 3 seasons than any other Lions QB has accomplished since 1957.
Goff didn't come through? Ridiculous.
If Josh Reynolds catches 4th and 2 w'er probably discussing a Lions victory today and how great Goff is. If Vildor picks of Purdy's terribly thrown pass that ended up in a catch that went for 51 years we're talking about Purdy crumbling under the pressure. That's not on Goff. Reynolds also dropped a crucial 3rd and 10 balls that Goff threw perfectly.
Goff is a leader. He's mentally tough. He's elite.
Don’t mix up his words. He did not mean it like that. As he explained. As an x player he knows how tough it is to get there. DAN is awesome hopefully a great next year. 💯💪🏾
Exactly! Sick of media twisting words
He's right Dan had 3 chances to win the game 🎯 and and and he didn't
A loss like this can make or break a team for years to come, I honestly believe this is going to drive us all offseason. We got by with some glaring weaknesses this season and it finally caught up with us, last year we made a big jump, this year we made a huge jump and if we can continue to draft well and upgrade a few positions we will be better! 🦁🏈
This game will be the same as 1991. Everyone knows who and what the Lions are now (gamblers that can't be told no). The Lions had a window, but that window is twice as small now. Brett Farve came in and closed it in 91, Jordan Love will do the same here.
I'm almost 100% sure we missed our chance. If they pay Goff $40 mil, it's a guarantee.
AGREE 100%, One of the easiest roads to the Championship I can remember with games against down Rams team and a lucky Tampa team. This was their one shot at it most likely. This season the Lions only beat one or two teams with a winning record when they played them and the Lions were basically healthy all year. They won't be so lucky again.
@@americanadreaming We have all our picks, we have everyone we want back next year and we have at a Min the 5th best Cap space going into the offseason. The future is bright! Only 1 teams gets to win it all and to believe with everything I listed we will lose is extremely short sighted, nobody took us lightly this year after the run we went on last year and barring a string of bad injuries in key positions next year we will do very well.
@@FromLasVegasU Nobody wanted to play the Rams team in the wildcard round this year they were the hottest team in the NFC going into the playoffs. Didn't the 49'ers lose last year in the NFC championship game to the Eagles? How did that work out for them? We don't need to "sneak up" on teams to win we just need to continue to get better each year through the draft and FA and keep our best players, which we will, as well as gain experience for our younger players (70% of our starters are in their first 3 years in the NFL)
@@americanadreamingthe packers beat the lions for the first time in 2 season and everyone is meat riding Jordan love (despite the fact it took Goff worse game of the year to win by 8 to beat the lions.) don’t see this vast improvement for the packers next year. I do see a similar result for the lions.
Not sure if we saw the same game. The one I saw Goff out played Purdy. If it wasn’t for a bunch of dropped passes, they would’ve won that game. Including the dropped interception that became a crazy catch.
As a Lions fan it's hard for me to say Goff outplayed Purdy. I thought Goff played really well and more than did his part for the Lions to win but Purdy, in particular with his scrambling/runs, really helped put the Niners over the top.
@@Al-me7xrhis scrambles were good yeah but he didn’t play a better game. One INT and 2 other passes that should’ve been picked, one which actually somehow ended up being a completion of 50 yards. This lions defense is horrible. The past 5 quarterbacks were all able to put up 350+ (348 for baker but close enough) on this defense and that’s including Nick mf Mullens twice. Brock couldn’t even get too close to 300 with all the talent and shanahans play calling
Their QB ratings were within 0.2 of each other. But the 49er’s defense is much higher rated than the Lions’. That should count for something
@@Al-me7xrpurdy threw some of the worst passes ever and it required his receivers to make spectacular catches. But also Goff was on the $$ all night, navigated the pocket with command, and kept the poise necessary to keep the collapse from happening but dropped balls and fumbles ruined it.
Lions also missed about 3 sacks that Purdy escaped for big chunk yardage. 16 missed tackles in this game, the most all season for them. Very uncharacteristic
Goff came through yesterday but his receivers, at key points in the game, did not!
I mean it was really only Josh Reynolds. He dropped the 2 biggest passes of his life and it killed the team.
We earned every right to be here this year. We had it in our finger tips and let it slip away. No promises to ever be back in the position that we were in. This loss sucks and theres no way around it
Didn’t come through in big moment? How many times did he convert 3rd and long? And if drops weren’t a factor he wins that game
Why did he put them in 3rd amd long?
@@SunShine-xc6dh never played football before. Run gets stopped, penalties, loss of yards. That’s all Goff fault? When he got into 3rd and long he converted. When critical 4 th and 2 play needed ro be made he put the ball in the wrs hand and he dropped it. You wanna be a Goff hater so bad you don’t actually pay attention
@@gabefriend6064 so it's great coaching to get out of those situations but only pure chance that put you in them... right... yeah shit happens that why you take the opportunity to get the points you can... Goff? This about Dan Campbell
49ers didn't have a problem kicking field goals.
@@wallman73olmeda65 bc they have a better kicker at a shorter range
We still love you Coach Campbell.I'm supporting you all the way!!!!❤
As a Lions fan, I know the answer is no. After the last NFC Championship in 91, it took 33 years to get another win. MCDC gave that game away in an unforgivable way that will hurt for decades.
I'm piss off and may never watch football again - takes too much energy out of me, but the Lions will be contenders for a very long time. If you have a good owner, you will always be contender. Hell, they could win a SB next year if Jamos get better---but we should have won a SB this year.
Dan Campbell cost his team the game. Lions lost by 3 points and could have won by 3. Dan being overly aggressive cost his team the game.
I live n Detroit BUT I'm a Raiders fan, typical lion typ chit,You DONT ROLL THE 🎲 N CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES,THIS Y I'VE BEEN A RAIDERS FAN FOR 40YRS..... Lions gonna Lion
Bosa already said the momentum changed when Dan.
" I got 20 on black jack and wants the next card" Campbell went for 4th down the first time and failed. We don't need to guess or speculate because it was already told to us by Bosa. 😂😂
No, this loss will be a hangover all next season. They lost this game in brutal fashion, the 4th down calls, the dropped passes in the second half, so many missed tackles. Dan Campbell say he has no regrets all he wants, but I'm sure he didn't sleep a wink last night. This loss will haunt him forever.
it's tough getting there Campbell so as a coach you need to make the right calls
At least Michigan won it all
Go blue.
Amen!
This off-season is critical. The Lions need to hit on a new CB, another WR, and some D-Line talent.
Goff can’t carry a team to the Supebowl but, objectively, he has played better than Purdy during the playoffs. In the game yesterday, Goff and Purdy had virtually the same QB rating (within 0.2). But the 49er’s defense is much higher rated than the Lions’. That should count for something.
What QB alone has ever carried a team to the Superbowl?
@@benisrood Brady, Mahomes, Rodgers. It’s another way of saying “elite”.
Dan Campbell went to the Pete Carroll school of bad coaching decisions.
The coaching in the 2nd half by the head coach of the Lions...will cost this team for years to come
The team did hop on Goff's back though. If we had a normal amount of drops/fumbles then we're putting up 40+ easily on the NFC's best defense. Not sure if these guys are even watching the game or just checking the stat sheet. Purdy was throwing INTable passes all day, and was getting lucky with field position and bounces. Goff meanwhile balled out all playoffs.
It's definitely the case that the ball bounced the 49ers way in the game. I agree with you completely about Goff, he didn't really do anything wrong. I do think that Campbell needs to just accept situational realities and take the points your offence has earned. I know he wants to change the momentum but when you fail to make the 4th down play you hurt the momentum even more. At least with 3 points the team can feel like that got something out of the possession. The bottom line is that those points would have made a difference, so clearly it was a mistake not to take them.
Yes !
They can make it back .
They will .
I doubt it. They will lose their OC in the offseason and you will never ever get such a easy playoff schedule again. The Lions only beat teams with losing records this year and they went the whole year with little or no major injuries. Now they will have a tougher schedule and Geoff and Montgomery are not getting younger. I doubt they will get back here again.
@@FromLasVegasU
The same thing used to get said by many of the teams that are now winning .
I remember when New England , KC , Baltimore , Green Bay , all had horrible teams .
The mentality has changed in Detroit .
Just like it did in many other cities with teams that have won championships .
In 32 years.
@romeoalpha68 so you guys have a Tom Brady, Mahomes, Rodgers on your team? It took y’all 30 years but you’re just gonna be back next year. 🤣 There are so many things that can derail a season. It’s laughable to assume you’ll be back next year.
@@saraxiong
We'll see .
I 100% believe the Lions will be in the NFC championship next year. This year was a little overachieving. Next year the holes will be filled with talent. Anything can happen, but the Lions should scare everybody they face next year.
5:22 imagine saying he didn’t come through because he didn’t scramble for yards on plans that it wasn’t an option. The 9ers played us like the bears do and helped create the spaces and manipulate the defense to have space for Purdy to run
Fact is the Lions are really the only of the top 5 teams that a really young. Add to that they have $60m in cap space while the other top 5 teams are in salary cap purgatory. Holmes will excel in the draft and FA and the only crucial Lion in FA is Jonah Jackson and he can go. No other top 5 team has as good a future situation as the Lions. Next year expect this game to be in Detroit. Step one, let's make sure that the second the Chargers cut Mack the Lions swoop in.
Kimber said today that there is a rumor that Ragnow might retire. Gonna need that $60M.
Lmao you guys haven’t been to the NFC title game often, so you don’t realize how rare it is. Trust me, things change so drastically year to year in the NFL you never really know. 😂
@@Guillame5244 they've been saying that for 3 years. I do agree it's coming sooner rather than later.
Lmao to assume you’ll be back is laughable. There are so many variables that can derail a season. To be this arrogant when you’ve made 1 appearance in 30 years is astounding. As if only the Lions have draft picks and cap space, as if they are the only team that will get better. Packers had Rodgers and even they didn’t make it back.
@saraxiong which teams in the NFC have the most talent? Where do you think the "experts" will pick the Lions to finish next year? Which teams exactly will get better? Cause the Niners, Cowboys, Eagles and Packers all have serious cap issues and are losing valuable personnel. I can go team by team if you'd like? So, no, there aren't a lot of teams that are going to be getting better. If you think so start naming them and ill take you apart. Especially not relative to the Lions who have a very young core, $60m in cap space and the biggest player they're in danger of losing is their LG. Of course every player on the team could break a leg or the whole roster could die in a plane crash but I based my statement on reasonable evidence and logic. Stay in your lane.
Take it from Falcons, Jaguars, and Titans fans: the Lions will most likely not be back and will be rebuilding again 3 years from now.
No, Falcons QB choked. Jaguars had no QB. Titans have no QB. Lions have Goff and he was the best player for the Lions yesterday.
They gotta top 5 offense in the league they gonna be a tougher team next year
31 teams come up short a year for many reasons. It’s almost never because of talent and almost always because of coaching. If you believe in the coaches you believe in the team. I believe in Dan Campbell.
Bottom Line : Dan made a horrific call based on feelings instead of calculated football sense. Instead of going up 3 scores and depleting all of S.F. confidence while keeping your team energized ,he failed. ( thats ok) people make mistakes but geez, man up and say you made a mistake that enormously affected the outcome.....ACCOUNTABILITY takes guts but demonstrates one's character
WTH are you talking about? 4th and goal at the 4 he kicked the FG to go up 3 scores. The truth is that Campbell doesn't have a great defense and his kicker may be the worst in the NFL. Analytics said go for it on both.
it's totally DC's fault when your WR drops TWO EASY CATCHES THAT WERE IN HIS HANDS. No, you're right. Totally DC's fault.
If we draft a shutdown cornerback and edge rusher to pair with hutch then I say yes
Detroit had struggled all year on the d side... never really played a complete game consistently.. 3rd quarter been there biggest challenge . Draft some d men sign some d men and they will be right back on top again.
It really wasn’t the D that loss that game …
Cornerback is the top priority (x2). Sutton and Vildor were not the answer as starters but provide depth.
Lions will have to let Jonah Jackson go as he is a UFA and they will have to resign Goff, Sewell, and St. Brown in 2025.
You all ignore the Lions like it's your pleasure to do so for 25 years and suddenly you all think you know the team.
Tell em!
Dan knows he took two hard drives and threw away the points. The lions players are home today thinking about giving away 6 to lose by 3. Campbell said I have no regrets. The players didn't make my fantasy come true
It’s about risk versus reward, not probability.. And it’s shocking hardly anyone understands this?..
probability of success is a factor in both the risk and reward, though
@@jesse8458
Correct.. But the problem is they don’t factor in the risk.. Probability is useless if it’s not used in the correct equation..
@@jesse8458
Useless is probably the wrong word.. The point is you have to factor both sides to make the correct choice..
For example, the Lions were at 90.4% to win possessing the ball up 14 at that moment, and the most you can gain is what?… 8%?.. But after the Niners scored to make it a one possession game, the Lions probability of winning was around 67%..
That means you GAMBLED 23 to win 8.. And that’s how you ended up broke..
@@jesse8458
This is why I’m extremely proud of my pool hall education.. lol.. Invaluable..
@@jacobjones5269 …what? I’m not sure that thought process makes sense. You’re looking at the Niners win probability after they scored, as if they could only score if the Lions didn’t convert on 4th down. They could also score if the Lions miss the FG. Or they could score if the Lions make the FG but the Niners drive for a TD.
You know how they used to do that jaw size thing and how it makes a good QB? They may have to start doing one for QB bubble butts. The bigger the better when it comes to beimg clutch, apparently
Chris Simms, did you actually watch the game?? Goff did not come through because Reynolds had two BAD drops that Goff put right on him, Gibbs had a BAD fumble deep in our territory, JMO had one go right through his hands in the end zone on a flea flicker and on and on. To put this on Goff is silly! Kind of like giving Purdy credit for a 51-yard bomb that was caught by Aiyuk, but only after our corner had it bounce off his face because he was in WAY better position that the receiver! AMAZING!
I believe in Dan Campbell. No matter how many losing seasons we gotta have to get back there, now we know we can get there. We have to learn, stay humble. Stay hungry. And cut Gardner Johnson before he talks to much 💩
No…the team, THIS team and staff will never recover from this loss. Like the 98 Vikings and the Falcons MOST of the roster and staff will have to be overhauled to recover.
Goff is mentally tough unlike Matty ICE. Goff also didn't choke like Matty. Goff team choke but not Goff. Meanwhile Matty ICE choke.
Not kicking the FG at 24-10 was mind boggling. It was the entire game, when they didn’t get that first down it was essentially over. I don’t care that Campbell went for it this year a zillion times. This is to go to the Super Bowl. You kick that FG there and make it. Half of the third quarter has been bled and the 49ers are right where there were coming out of the locker room. Down 17. They would’ve started pressing. The Lions would’ve won the game. Awful decision by Campbell.
hard to say, so many factors to get back. but the coach knows how hard it is just to make it, but they got the talent they should be good. maybe some nerves got to them, bit know they know. gotta respect the coach.
I'm sorry, what? Goff didn't come through when it mattered? I didn't realize Goff dropped those passes he hit the WR's hands with. I didn't realize he dropped that TD pass that hit JAMO in stride and in the end zone. I didn't realize he dropped that 4th and 3 pass to Reynolds that hit both his hands. Just a dumb take. Peyton Manning couldn't have won that if his WR's dropped as many passes as they did in the second half. What a stupid take.
The lions are probably going to lose their offensive coordinator and maybe even the defensive coordinator to head coaching jobs within days so next season is going to be very difficult especially repeating as the North Division champion.
This was our chance, and it quite possibly won't come around again for a long time.
If Lions are a good team, they will be fine, good teams loose offense & defense coordinator all the time
@antonS2166 That's right, but their offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is special and very innovative. He will be hard to replace with someone of the same caliber.
Their defensive coordinator, Aron Glenn, was hampered by not having top-tier DBs, but the defense rallied around his personality and leadership. He's another guy that's going to be hard to replace with someone on the same level.
I hope you're right, but don't expect anywhere near the same well thought out intricacies and set-up plays on offense, with a new coordinator, especially the trick plays.
I think you're right. Maybe this is what Dan Campbell was talking about. I remember the Bears defense wasn't the same after Vic Fangio left.
I trust the management will find a coach that shares the same vision.
@@allanpeck8523 Dan said in his press conference he is instrumental in the offense preparation, but not the defense. So I think he's going to hire in house to replace Ben. Remember Ben was moved up to coordinator by Dan. I'm sure Dan can find a good defensive coordinator from the same tree that AG came from that new Orleans bunch.
Goff is the only QB that no matter what he does, gets the blame. That McVay love has made people ignore how good he actually is at the QB position.
Dan Campbell "Didn'T DROP the 4th down pass; Dsn didn't drop an interception; Dan didn't miss makable tackles!
No he made bad calls just like vs Dallas.
@@PianoUniverse No, Detroit won that game, The ref, Braf Allen blew the call; NFL confirmed it was the wrong call
Dan Campbell is a great motivator and probably a wonderful person but in my opinion not a very cerebral person when it comes to in the moment decision making. Those types of mental errors cannot be tolerated if one is serious about winning.
Goff didn't come through in the biggest moments ? Ah that's right.. he has to catch the ball too 😂😂😂😂
Not everyone can be Lamar.....only scoring 10 points while have 15+ possession in the 2nd half alone.
1 Super Bowl win, you would have been Mike Ditka forever
You had the opportunity, and YOU DAN, blew it. I want a coach who can lift you back up and make another run at it. Not a pessimistic Debbie Danner.
These guys hate Goff.. 😂 Florio has an involuntary bodily reaction when he has to say nice things about him
Life long Lions fan here -- Campbell needs to take a long hard look in the mirror as a good part of the loss is on him! And what is up with the messaging in the press conference - what's the point after such a heartbreaking loss?
As a Steelers fan I felt sick to my stomatch watching the Lions blow that lead.
Also definitely not Dan Campbell's fault they lost. That first fourth down conversion the ball was plain dropped and then the team caught a case of the drops. That terrible ball through the hands for an easy interception would've saved them another 7. That second 4th down attempt I think I personally would've taken the points but still can't blame them for trying they literally had the first one had Reynolds made the makable catch.
I hope they can get back next year
If the Lions go heavy on defense in the draft they just might get back to the NFC Championship game. The offense should be fine.
NFC North is going to be tough.
Thankfully the Lions got a top 5 offense but the Lions gotta focus on defense this offseason for them to be contenders. Brad Holmes had a lot of opportunities last offseason and at the trade deadline to get Chase Young instead we got DPJ like we needed another WR.
We needed somebody to replace Josh Reynolds pretty bad.
This second half problem could have been forecasted. The Lions were 5th and the 49ers were 3rd in scoring this season. The problem for the Lions Ben Johnson run offense is they don't score much in the 3rd quarter of games. In fact they were ranked only 20th in 3rd quarter scoring. So with the 49ers getting the ball to start the second half and the Lions predictable flatness in the 3rd quarter all this played out by the numbers. The media ask Campbell mid-season about this problem of not scoring in the 3rd quarter. He did not want to talk about it. Well, they didn't fix it and it cost them the trip to a SB. Maybe the Commanders or Seahawks will ask Ben Johnson why his offense comes out flat in the second half of games. Go Lions!
Lions need to bring Stafford back rather than extending Goff at the 40-45 million per year he will want and get. Goff did really good this year. But you give Stafford the best offensive line, best run game, top 5 receiver/tight end combination to go along with an above average defense he is winning you a Super Bowl. And the Lions can give Stafford that for the next 2-3 years. They must be aggressive. Winning in Detroit has always been the biggest dream for Stafford. But it wasn’t possible until now. Now it’s time for a Lebron to Cleveland style return. Rams would do it if he came to them and told them he either wants to return to the Lions or retire. As long as the package is good enough the Rams will trade him. To play for Detriot he would likely take a pay cut and play for only 30 million a year with it structured so that a big chunk is paid 3-4 years down the road. Goff wouldn’t do this. He will demand maximum value just like he did with rams. On this market he will get 40-45 million a year.
Lions get
Stafford
An additional 10-20 million in cap space
Inevitable Super Bowl
Rams get
2024 second round pick
2024 fourth round pick
2025 first round pick
Rams could sign Wentz back and draft Bo, Mcarthy or Penix Jr to play behind him. This deal would work for both sides just like last time
If they don’t get back it’s your fault DAN! Why would you even say that There’s no tomorrow u have to win now, man we waited so long for this and you blew it take the points DAN!
I still believe in my Lions and MCDC and ownership.
Campbell threw the two youngsters under the bus, Reynolds and gibbs. What a coward
Well if resent history is a factor, Lions open the season with a win over KC, so no one was surprised. Young team on the rise. I expect them to be a playoff force next yr
The Lions will be playing a first place schedule next year. They be playing do many tomato cans as they did when they played a third place schedule.
They can!! Why not. Although very smart analysis, both of you.
Campbell is still my pick for Coach of the Year despite the mess ups in the NFC CG. At the same time, until the Lions actually get to the Bowl, many of us will be holding a grudge on him and the team. Nevertheless, this team had an amazing season and even though they fell short, I'm still proud of them. 🦁🏈
Drop balls by WRs, fumble by gibbs, Vildor ball hits him in face no int instead big catch for 49s and Campbell's 4th down decisions to go for it is why the 🦁🦁 lost but they had a way better year than most people thought they would, they need to improve their defense and I can see them winning a Super Bowl, Great year 🦁🦁 hope for many more in years to come, and ready to see Draft in Detroit and what Brad does this year Go 🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁
Not worried about replacing the coordinators.
Really? That's good to know, it's my main worry 😂
I hope the Lions are doing whatever it takes to keep both Johnson and Glenn.
Next year is too far off should have been this year I'm so gutted about this loss
Can try in another 67years
Lions 2024 & 2025 Super Bowl Champions. The young talent is elite.
I'm not worried about the Bears or the Vikings but the Packers are coming
Nope... Not even the playoffs 🏈
This opportunity was unique and doesn't come every year. Sorry
Campbell is a fool. This was his one chance at greatness, and he blew it. Lions will be back..........in 32 years.
I give the Lions the same chance to be back at the NFC championship game as they had on these 4 down plays yesterday. 😂
Ben Johnson is most likely gone and your offense might not be the same. Ask Sirianni.
Odds are they don't return. I'll never get over this loss.
Agree 100%. They will lose their OC in the offseason and you will never have such a easy regular season and playoff schedule like they did this year. Plus they were relatively injury free this year. Those things don't happen very often.
I said the same thing. They won't be back in this position for years to come, maybe ever. This WAS their shot and they blew it.
@@justinlaw2670Nah, we'll be back. I believe they can.
@@haaatski not next year or even 5 years from now. I bet they won't even be over .500 next year. I saw the brand new lions in the first half but the same old lions finished the game.
Never got over 2018. Might just be done with football forever---it takes too much out of me at this age. I want Goff to win so badly!
Yes, they can come back.
Dan Campbell might not even be the coach in the next couple of years
wtf? we did not learn Purdy is better than Goff. That's a joke. Simms is an idiot. Our receivers had some uncharacteristic drops.... how is that on Goff? We beat KC cause their receivers dropped a bunch... that make Goff better than Mahomes??? Purdy's 5 yard moon pass wasn't exactly picturesque. Purdy threw an interception... no? Did Goff???
From the guy who went for 3 two point conversions and lost prior to the playoffs and then screwed up again.
He does have stubbornness and an inability to properly factor in probabilities and risk factors.
Had the game won expect for the late choking, reminds me of the Bears beating the crap out of the Lions and they choked in the last 2 minutes for the Lions win. Packers , Bears , Vikings will all be out for the Lions. I don't see them repeating, especially since the North looks like it's becoming to be the toughest division in the NFC.
Lions are still the best team in the North. Green Bay doesn't scare me. Love might just be a one year wonder until teams get more game tape on him.
Goff is limited. If he has to scramble 3 feet the play is over.
The Lions will return to the NFC Championship this coming season.
Goff completely outplayed Purdy yesterday, wtf? Purdy had a few interception throws IN THE SECOND HALF, but they got lucky. Goff out the ball on the money and hisrecivers dropped it. Classic stupid daytime TV take from people with pre-conceived notions.
I 100% disagree with Chris. Goff came through! Go watch the 2nd half again! The Lions had to survive the predictable 2nd half-blitzkrieg by the 49ers! If Campbell hadn't played those two 4th downs by listening to his analytics , and played it conservatively, they probably would have won! Purdy and the rest of the 49ers sure looked shell-shocked in the first half themselves!
Great Channel
How can you say Goff had a few good moments. He dominated the first half of the game. 49ers had no answer the first half. What a joke.
The Lions gifted this game. Coach Dumbell's arrogance is his weakness.
All the cliches in the world are not going to help him. What he did and the choices he made in the biggest game of the season is unacceptable. The Lions should hire another coach because this guy won't get them all the way there. NO CHANCE
He blew it!
Probably not. Just going off the odds.
I think we lose division to GB next year.
Simms says "ya know" way too much.
How about his team didn’t execute? Two dropped dime balls.. one on 4th and another on 3rd for first downs. How about the D stepping up and making the interception that hits in their facemask. Cmon man. Purdy threw a few that looked super JV and he’s lucky it wasn’t taken advantage of.
Maybe next year take the field goals in the playoffs against good defenses?
With a kicker who is 9of 20 from that range? Smart
@@sundrelstriker7513 Maybe think about getting a better kicker?
@@francisdasta8646Seriously. Honestly, part of the reason MCDC took so many chances really had to do with not trusting the kicker. Maybe draft one 7th round?
Don't worry they won't br in the playoffs next year.
Now you are going off the rails with Purdy loosing anything on that Green Bay game!!! All that showed was that he was rusty after the better part of a month and he needs some more practice throwing in the elements!!! Purdy pulled it all together against the Lions in the second half and it's going to roll over into the Super Bowl and he's going to lift the 49ers over the Chiefs!!!
San Francisco hasn’t won in 30years but KC has I’m going with them 🎉🎉
Dan said we will never come back? He said " Do I think we will never have a shot? No, but I do know how hard it is to come this close to winnign a superbowl. Get your shitty story together. Last year Lion went to wild card game. This year they went to 3 playoffs game. Why think they would not do any better if not as good as this or last year? At least they will be a comptetive playes and team that actually wants to win instead of just getting by and collecting checks.
Goff can't throw the pass and catch the pass. Stop blaming Goff.
Goff missed a TD when Gibbs was open in the end zone. At end of first half. But the receivers dropped perfect pases too in second half. Goff is a solid QB, he's not Mahomes, Allen, or Burrow. Goff is still better than half the QBs in the NFL.
Would not pay Goff … why would I pay $40mil + for mediocracy 4:40 …. Would draft a rookie and spend on defensive line
You guys have gotten Goff wrong from the start. In crucial moments he hit his receivers on target and they dropped the pass. I guess you expect him to throw and catch, you two are clowns.
Not with dan gamble as head coach and goff at QB hell no. Fire dan and bring in bellichik
Again Goff did not have the best day either! It was that one bad day you know is there but do not want to happen!
Not We.." I "he should of said, hubris will be the cause of the Lions not getting back. Hey 4th & 20.... no problem
Pay Goff.
You gave the freaking game away Dan Gamble point blank!
Shame on Dan Campbell for those dropped catches and INTs!
Don’t lose faith in him
Not the fumble and dropped balls?
What a shame. What ever Campbell did all year and got the praise its almost as if he got a little cocky and then became stupid right before our eyes. Someone needs to be next to him and “talk him down off the ledge” as they say. You’re on the road you always take the points when you can. The first FG he opted out of probably psychs out the Niners. Bring it back to 17 point lead and then let Purdy do his interception thing. We were all on your side Lions. What a great story this could have been. Unfortunately I don’t think that buffoon Campbell will learn from this based on his post game analyzation.
With a kicker who is 9-20 from that range? Goff been tearing up that zone all day. He called the right play on both times. He converts the good play, everyone is calling him Danny big balls. Yall are a joke
Lions had a better chance of getting the 4th and short then kicking the fg. That just based of statistics. The play calls were there as well players just didn’t execute. Actually pay attention to the game and not the headlines
I wasn't on they side, Buccaneers fan here, they beat us and had they chest out saying Superbowl knowing you have to go on the road to San Francisco, HOF John Lynch said this for my Buccaneers, Lynch still don't like the Lions from the good ole black and blue division
@@sundrelstriker7513you’re coping so hard that you’re making up stats.
Your kicker is almost 80% from that range.
Not in the NFC North. Do we really think the Packers, Bears, and Vikings won't be better next year? It's going to be an incredibly tough division to Win Next year for the Lions. They blew it and it's so hilarious because Eminem is a gross person and he is their curse.
