The hyper elevated levels of testosterone running through his veins tells him that the aggressive call is always the right call. It will catch up to him eventually. Law of averages.
 

100 years of punting on fourth down deep in your own territory is precedent for a reason. But he thinks he’s going reinvent the wheel. 

he may have just lost the game there because of that call. As someone said up thread, it as the feel of Brandon Staley and “I am smarter than everyone else.”

I love how Campbell just goes for it.  If you do it every time, you'll get most of them if you're a good O - on balance, it's better for your chances.

 

 

 

 

Nah, when you got the lead and you're on your own 30, you punt that crap away.

where does the madness end though? Does he go for it on his own 10 yard line?  He’s up by 3, and GB is in scoring position with a stop. Just bonkers!! 

 

I mean, that was a little crazy.  But it's scary too when your team plays them.  

 

When the Bills offense was really humming a few years back, I always thought it would be terrifying for the league if we decided to just not have a punter on the team.

By which you mean, the two best teams in the NFL?

Cute, like Lions coaching inside his 30

You don’t go for it on 4th down there.  You play traditional football that is time tested over decades.  The risk reward with a small lead is not worth it.

Watching dome games is so sterile and lifeless. Great game so far, but nowhere near as fun as that Browns-Steelers game a couple weeks back.

I am all for going for it in most situations when you have a dominant line and offense.  Even that one I can understand.  But the play call wasn't the best.  Overall, though, if you are aggressive with a great offense, you will help yourself more often than you hurt yourself.

 

That said, that one was very high on the aggressiveness meter.  Up by 3 against a solid team, but not a flat out dominant one.  If it was 4th and a foot or 2?  Sure.  Go for it all day.  But that was closer to 2 yards than 2 feet and that play call just wasn't ideal in that situation.

It sounds like the game is being played in a library

This was talked about earlier. It appears Prime Video mixes out the crowd noise from what we hear on the broadcast.

The Packers pass rush just can't get home. 

[Buffalo Junction]

Pretty sure pushing a helmet off warrants a hands to the face call. 😂 

[Amorgus]

Patrick is earning his paycheck tonight 

[Chicken Boo]

I'm happy for Tim Patrick.

[TheFunPolice]

Both these teams are physical up front

Not for the NFL's new darling. They want a Chiefs-Lions SB so bad.

[stuvian]

Maybe the best Thursday game ever 

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

I actually think this packers D is supposed to be really good too. Lions just having their way. 
 

Looks like you can’t really blitz Goff too. He gets the ball out really fast. 

[NickelCity]

The Lions look built to beat a two high shell. 

[Success]

Man, these are 2 pretty solid teams.  Both would be a tough out for any team.
