With the clock running?

The INT and fumble worked out, guess they were the right decision? Outcome doesn't guarantee wisdom. Again, after he called the first TO they got a 2 first downs. Why didn't he call any more? What was the strategy? Again, just because we stopped them on 4th down and then got a FG (on 3rd down) doesn't necessarily make it the right call. There has to be reasoning.

Actually I think you just pointed out how bad Zimmer is as a coach, he had 3 timeouts and didn't call a single one when the clock was running on our last drive! How did he expect to get the ball back with time to score? Maybe they should fire Zimmer.

We've never seen that. It certainly would be a wild thing. Almost as wild as if a team actually KNEELED at the end of a half. Luckily we don't live in that world and instead we will continue to see all those teams calling timeouts when they don't have the ball to save the clock for their opposition.

I still can't get over how fumbling on 4th down in your own end and throwing an interception in plus territory were literally the right calls to make as a playcaller. Seriously. Let that sink in for second. Name one other coach smart enough to turn the ball over TWICE to ensure the victory? That's coach of the year type of thing. Soon you will see Tom Brady doing the same thing. This is a copycat league.

Now I see why Campbell didn't call another TO in the first half to save enough time to score a TD so we only needed a FG to win at the end. He's really Dr Strange and he saw all the future possibilities and the only one where the Lions win was using 1 TO not 2 and then turning the ball over twice in the 4th quarter.

I'm in awe of Goff's decision making. He knew that throwing that pick and then fumbling on 4th down would give the Vikings a chance to eat up exactly the right amount of clock so we score the game wining TD as time expires. Now I see what they see in him.

Suck it haters. All made possible by that int and then the fumble on 4th down.

We should kick the FG here.

The game really is more enjoyable when you just assume all the stupid decisions are some sort of unrealized genius.

All slants.

There we go. Short over the middle again. Loving this strategy.

Did you see that delay of game? That's 6d chess. Need more room to throw.

There it is again, 5d chess with the short throws inbounds.

Smart throwing for 9 yards inbounds. Need to bleed some of this time off.

Maybe the announcer might actually be dumber than our coach.

Time for all this maneuvering all game long to unveil itself for all of us to awe at the glory.

Smart

Smart stopping them on that play, want them to milk some of the clock so they can't score after we score.

We are seeing some strategic mastery here. We are playing 3d chess.

That fumble was the right play. We need them closer to the endzone so they score faster.

Going for it here is the right call, we need them to score quick. Also, that timeout was a good call to save some time after they score.

That interception was a brilliant move strategically. Really milked the clock.

Good throw by Goff. Hockenson is our best chance at a completion.

You are right, we've won all our games this year strictly due to him making the "right" decision, regardless of the wisdom.
