He directly lost 9 points and that fake punt failure gave GB 6 pts, what a moron. That last 4th down made sense, the FG doesn't really help, still a 2 score game. But the others? Wow.

Sierra Foothills Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Montgomery vs Gibbs is a non-issue. Both are excellent players and their usage has not been the issue in this game. That 4th down pass in the end zone was perfectly thrown by Goff but everyone's darling, LaPorta didn't look back for the ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Love looks like he is getting better the more he plays. Not sure why everyone was ready to give up on him so quick. He never played. Problem for Green Bay is he is only under contract for one more year. Not sure they have seen enough to give him a long term deal yet. That said he looks better than Daniel Jones ever did and he got an extension. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lions gamble a lot on 4th down situations and this game they crapped out. The worst gamble was the fake punt, no need to hand over points with so much time left and a defense playing decently. You live by the sword you die by the sword so to speak when it comes to Campbell taking chances and risks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toyo321 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Detroit is definitely no Philly, SF or Dallas. These analyst that keep saying they are in contention for home field are delusional. They got annihilated by the Ravens and they got beat by Green Bay who started more of their second string players today than their starters. This team is nothing but a average team with a very easy schedule. 20th-toughest NFL schedule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 So hopefully that extra loss will make Philly less motivated on Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week was atrocious though… Dude looked rough! Been a little underwhelming the past 4 games out with the Chargers shootout. I know.

Plus it leaves you the chance to win the game with two 2-point conversions. Edited November 24, 2023 by mannc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you kick the XP, you need 8. But you’re still alive. You're down 15 and need two TD's with 5 minutes left. If you try the 2ptconversion on the 2nd TD that you score and don't get it, then the game is over and you can't do anything about it with so little time now on the clock. But if you try it on the 1st TD that you score and don't get it, then you know you're still down two scores and can now play the rest of the game accordingly. It's admittedly more of a factor with 3-4 minutes left than it was today with 2 minutes left, but that's the way coaches are playing it now. If you find out earlier that it's going to take a FG in addition to the two TDs, theoretically you still have time to quicken your pace or use your TO's earlier than you would have, in order to at least give yourself a chance at an extra possession. If you don't find out until later that you need another possession, there might only be :20 left and now it's too late to do anything about it.
