I feel bad for the lions fans. Their Thanksgiving must suck annually. 

It’s an annual tradition in Detroit.

Really stupid decisions. 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]

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.

From what I've seen of laporta I prefer Kincaid

They got it, but going for two there seemed like absolutely the wrong decision. No?

yeh miss it game over. weird call

[Ethan in Cleveland]

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.

The reward he was betting on was getting two TDs and two 2-point conversions to take the lead.

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.

Because everything was going their way....

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

[The Wiz]

So hopefully that extra loss will make Philly less motivated on Sunday.

This is today's NFL, any team can win in the watered down league.

 

You may be right ✅️ 

In my mind I saw it the other way around haha

Always liked Goff, definitely a decent QB when there’s a competent run game to assist him. Last week was atrocious though… Dude looked rough! Been a little underwhelming the past 4 games out with the Chargers shootout. 

I know. I started him over Lamar 😑

It was absolutely the right call.  They needed at least one two-point conversion to tie, so why not get it on the first opportunity?

Because - and this is all moot of course - if you miss, the game is over right then and there. If you kick the XP, you need 8. But you’re still alive.

It doesn’t matter. If you miss the two-point try on the second TD it’s over, as well.  You’re no less likely to convert on the first chance. Plus it leaves you the chance to win the game with two 2-point conversions.

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.
