Seriously? If the play is have 2 guys destroy the QB as he plants his back foot, or have the guard pushed into Gibbs, then maybe those plays were not the right ones. Idk man. If you can judge a play by the result what in the hell is the metric?

So the line not blocking or the defense just having the right counter means that Campbell screwed up the play call?  What you're saying here is that if Campbell made the right play call every time, the Lions would be winning this game 70-0.  

This is on the same level of blaming Hinch every time the Tigers lose a game.

Phillips again.

This is so pathetic.  Just give the play calling back to Morton.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Goff is rattled for sure with the pressure. 

[GalagaGuy]

Goff keeps throwing it into the ground and trying to force the ball to St Brown and somehow people will keep complaining about the play calling.  Goff is the worst QB in the league when it comes to operating under pressure, that's the problem tonight.

Eagles just look like a better team. Limit mistakes and take advantage of situations. The Lions need to learn how to beat good teams. 

Winning on the road in the NFL is very hard. Especially against the defending Champions.

[Adullin]

Jared Gaff can't handle the pressure

Yeah. Literally that’s his job. Call plays to counter what the defense is doing. Can just throw your hands up and say, I called the perfect play, but the offense messed it up. Then it wasn’t the right play. Literally nobody was fooled on the 3rd and 3 play action. Not even Chris Collinsworth.

 

Listen, if it was like 50/50 you tip your hat to the defense. We are 0-a bunch on 4th down. It’s ok to say that’s not good.

Lions are back to being a pedestrian level team at best.

What is it? 0-7 on 4th downs? All passes? Yeah, it's not working.

Tush push stopped.

So the OC’s plan is to have Goff drop back? Where is the max protect? Where is the quick hitters? Jesus. Campbell is a great coach. He will be the first to admit his fault tonight.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

That false start was big in that it saved time on the clock for us. 

[Sports_Freak]

Down 10 points with just over 6 minutes left. We need a real quick score. Or its over.

Agreed. That’s part of the learning how to beat good teams. Can’t just say it’s hard so it’s ok to lose. They need to learn how to win these games.

The hospital is gonna fill up with all of the fans like you breaking legs jumping off the bandwagon.

[sagnam]

We are a Gibbs TD away from making this very uncomfortable for the Eagles.

13-30? Ouch.

[GalagaGuy]

Goff misses another throw.................better blame the play calling! 

[TP_Fan]

Hard to watch this version of Goff. This is ugly. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Goff looks like Scott ****ing Mitchell tonight.

But you're not going to win the majority of the time. It's why Philly is 7-2. They win most of their games. And yes, the Lions laid an egg tonight. Play calling...player execution...whatever.

[sagnam]

That was illegal contact at the least.

[lordstanley]

Wtf, how can you punt now??

[TP_Fan]

Dan is a quitter.  That much we know.  Uses no timeouts in the first half.  Punts with 5 mins to go.  Quitter Dan.
