Fire Campbell and promote Ben Johnson.

It's OK, Dan is gonna take a chunk out on his way back up

Kicker looked fine there

Yeah, he made an extra point in a low leverage situation. Completely the same deal as the situation before

I'll give Purdy some credit for this. He is clearly a limited player, but he has that underrated trait of being able to put bad plays behind him. Many QBs lack this and it sinks their career. The last two weeks he has pulled out some great passes and runs late in the game after struggling earlier.

He was also running like a little boy posessed - showed a lot of heart on those plays

All this kicker talk is ignoring the fact that Campbell has gone for it like a madman all season. Typically I love that, but situational awareness is important. 

I didn’t mind the recent 4th down attempt but the earlier one was bizarre 

[HurlyBurly51]

You are to be commended on a fine season Dan, maybe invest in an analytics department

[Bills fan since 87]

Oof. This one will sting for a long time Detroit

My wife who doesn't care about football likes to rename teams. She says that it will be the Twix Wrappers vs the Ronald McDonalds.

Twix works also.  But 49s are still hot dog stand.  Just spicy brown and not KC's frenches yellow mustard.

 

And KC's sometimes ugly yellow cleats and gloves make me think a flag when there isn't one which is annoying.

So you’re saying all the players on the Lions threw the game? Take off your tinfoil hat. 

 

That's EXACTLY what I'm saying, yes.

If Campbell had taken the 48 yard field goal in the 4th Q instead of going for it on that 4th down (what was it, 4th a 4/6?) it would’ve been tied. That has to sting for Detriot fans.

Funny thing is if the Lions player doesn't touch it early, I think there's a chance it bounces off of the 49ers guy trying to catch it — those balls are tricky.

[Draconator]

Can we talk about the Bills now?

[SirAndrew]

I think I have less interest in this Super Bowl than any in recent memory. 

[Livinginthepast]

Im so glad the NFL changed the onside kick rules to make it so rare for a recovery. 2/42 in the regular season. No drama at all.

[Drifter]

Going for it instead of the fg cost them the Lions the game.

No, but didn’t look like he soiled himself, so he deserved the chance

[Einstein]

That 3rd down run was one of the worst calls ive ever seen.

How do you run in that situation? How?

Yeah, mine was probably Pats/Rams a few years ago.
