This game might have been in Detroit had Campbell kicked an extra point against Dallas. Not his first rodeo in Stupidville
the Lions and Campbell left some points (6) on the field today. They went for it on fourth down couple times while leading and didn't make it deep inside 49ers side. They should have kicked FGs instead.

This is way better.

Sign me up for another NFCC loss next year over the first 40 years of my Lions fandom.

I do honestly feel a little sick to my stomach though. And only threw my hat like five times tonight. Maybe six.
I have been bombarded by texts checking in. Therapy must be working because I never once got overly upset. Irked after the 2 4th down calls and bummed after the fumble. Rest was all good.

No way a Lions fan can be pissed about this year. Yeah it sucks when you lose but this is so much farther than you've ever been

Dude has so much Goff hate nothing will convince him he was not the problem in this game.
Yup he still mad Goff couldn't beat Dynasty Tom in the Bowl as a 2nd year player.

Goff is terrific, might never be the best QB in the league but neither were a lot of greats, even some in the Hall. Even Matt Stafford. I'm a fan for sure, wouldn't have minded rooting for him in the SB

Me too.

I was just told that I need to hit another bowl. I actually thought about jinxing them when I smoked at halftime and then the 2nd half happened. It did make it easier to take which is what I was shooting for though. It's not my fault.

A couple of receivers let you down
Reynolds is on a $6M/2 years contract because he has bad hands. He's always dropped passes he should catch. He outperforms his contract. Either pay for a better WR or have lower expectations.

Congrats to the 49ers on huge 2nd half comeback win to get to the Super Bowl.
  • Reynolds drop was huge, maybe play of the game since did not convert. I would have opted for FG there... felt Lions needed any kind of answer to 49ers FG to jump start the 2nd half. Failing to get points there I thought was a mistake. Realize Campbell likes to be aggressive, but big game on road and already have 2 TD lead, just needed an answer to start 2nd half.
  • Brandon Aiyuk catch was unbelievable.
  • Lions 22 carries for 150 yards 1st half, 7 carries 32 yards and fumble in 2nd half.
  • Goff not good when he needs to scramble... Purdy could make plays when he had to scramble.
  • Samuel makes big difference for 49ers offense when he plays, several plays he gained lot of yards after contact.
Was hoping the Lions would get to their first Super Bowl, but it was not to be.

This is something underrated with Purdy and why he's a very good QB and could be great someday. Drew Brees with some legs maybe?

Let's put on the brakes a bit here homie. He looks good though.

I gotta admit i threw shade on shanahan and purdy. But they made some nice adjustments and they did their thing. Purdy didnt have the best game, but he showed moxy and made plays one way or another.

Competitor, generally makes good decisions with ball, can scramble, team first guy... not much not to like IMO.

Now came back 17 points in conference championship... that is pretty big.

Seems like a good guy, I am a fan.

Weve have enough of a sample size to see. This is who he is. Question is, is that anything outside a shanny system? Shanny makes jimmy g look like a pro bowler.

But it matters not. Thats where he is now
