I don’t get why he can’t do a stupid dance like everyone else. Has to hump something. Or grind something. Or do something extra for no damn reason.

Maybe he could act like he's been there before? MCDC needs to send him a message. Acting like a 6 year old will NOT be tolerated.

How predictable is all of this.  Finally score and then defense immediately face plants. And Campbell doesn’t use any timeouts.  This is some genuinely awful coaching right now. 

[MichiganCardinal]

No way he’s in. Can tell from the TV but the ref 30 feet away needs a replay.

[TP_Fan]

How do you not use a timeout?

[Mr.TaterSalad]

I think he was down. 

[MichiganCardinal]

On the other hand, tush push will false start him in the next play, might as well just let it happen and try to get in range for a prayer with Bates.

[sagnam]

Is this any worse than a tush push td on the next play with less time?

Id rather he be in as odds are they score anyway. save a little if we even want to try and score.

[Hongbit]

No excuse for not using one of the 3 TO.  That was a mistake 

[MichiganCardinal]

Weird Campbell didn’t take a timeout to prevent the runoff

[sagnam]

And the Lions deserve to be losing at the half. That was humiliating. The defense is a slump buster.

[MichiganCardinal]

Okay now let’s see the replay where they cheated.

Every single game? Every single game, you whine and bitch about coaches. Every single game...I hope you realize how stupid you sound. Every single game.

[MichiganCardinal]

Campbell was content to go to the half down 7. Only explanation for having all three timeouts right now.

Was that a well coached half?

[TP_Fan]

Did he really just give up with 16 secs left and all timeouts?   What a ****ing loser.  

[sagnam]

This game has been poorly coached. Just numerous poor decisions and lack of discipline. There is a whole half to reset, but if they come out with the same mindset in the 2nd half we are going to get blown out.

 

And I hope they tush push us 10 more times. We deserve to get owned by it by not voting against it.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

The offense owes the defense a big thank you!

[MichiganCardinal]

Somehow, it’s far from over. The last drive the offense made it look effortless. If they can do that repeatedly, they can win this game.

But gollllllly, something’s got to give with this team. Apples to apples it’s better than last years. But the record doesn’t lie. FITFO!!

I don't believe that it should be outlawed but it needs to be fair for both sides.  If the offense gets to push a player then the defense should be able to as well.  If the offense is allowed to put their helmet in the neutral zone then the defense should to.  Then it needs to be reffed correctly, the NFL allows offensive lineman to get away with starting early to much.

The Lions are in danger of missing the playoffs completely if they lose this game.

A lot of season left, don't overreact. This game has almost no bearing on if we make the playoffs and most fans had it marked as a likely loss the day it was announced .  If they win their division games the rest of the way they will be in. 

[Jason_R]

Well, on the second drop back Goff got his pass tipped and picked off. I can understand why they wanted to button it up. I didn’t like that two-play sequence after Ratledge came out. Overall, I think they believe they have more offense than Philly so they want to keep it close and give Philly a chance to lose it before opening up the passing game.

No, they aren't.

They'll be 3rd in the division, and every team other than the Bears holds a tie-breaker. This team has looked flat against good competition all year. I didn't say they can't make the playoffs if they lose tonight, but it becomes a real possibility if they do. If you can't recognize that, you're whistling past the graveyard.
