Campbell went for it out of spite. He lost his cool. Ref made a mistake and then Campbell made one. And then johnson made his final one by calling a play for Mitchell, a play that forced Goff to make an out route throw, one he couldn’t make all night. Lions had their chances. That bad 2 pt call isn’t the reason they lost. I fully expect Dallas would have kicked a FG to win had the play stood. Lions should have won by two scores with the way the defense played.

Allen pointed directly at skipper.

Why was James Mitchell on the field for the final play? That should be discussed too.

I’m a ref blamer with the rest of them. But it’s one play that put way too much trust in the officials. The ref even pointed at skipper. Lions shouldn’t have even needed to be in that situation. This wasn’t a ref game.

That’s the way I took it. He explained it to the players.

By trying to trick the cowboys the lions tricked the refs. Leaving it in the hands of the officials is always the wrong answer.

And why is skipper running to the ref where decker is anyway? Like why even make it debatable?

This game has almost nothing to do with the refs. Nothing. Decker was ineligible 2 different ways. The lions had endless chances. They don’t nothing on offense. Goff struggled. That’s why they lost.

You’re exaggerating. Go back and look. I had lots of good to say. And others say the same thing as me about the offense.

You’re out here making up rules.

Decker didn’t tell anyone anything. What more do you need explained?

They weren’t baked into thought. They controlled their own destiny for the 2 seed.

**** you. That was trash coaching. All of it. Decker was never eligible. In any way. Then you’re gonna go for it from the 7? Then you call a play for Mitchell. It was a cluster****.

Dan Campbell can’t coach like this in the playoffs. That was rough.

Looking at the replay, decker never ale within 10 feet of any ref.

Well. He wasn’t covered either. Even if he reported he would have been ineligible. This was an epic coaching meltdown. Kick the ****ing extra point and go to OT. The replay clearly shows decker didn’t report. And was uncovered. Coaches lost the game for the lions tonight. All of them. Except Aaron Glenn. Somehow.

That’s just one call I can’t see the refs getting wrong. It means a ref would be outright lying.

And when it matters most they throw it to James Mitchell. On an out route. A throw Goff hasn’t made all night. I hate Ben Johnson. I can’t stand that guy. James Mitchell has no business on the field in that play. And decker didn’t report. They weren’t coached right.

Ok. These refs man. This is bad. They screwed us.

Are you serious!?

Wow. Going for 2. Would be so deflating if they don’t get it.

Don’t spike it.

The spiking of the ball is bizarre. There has been zero reason to do so.

I agree. It’s weird.

They are lined up for a play.
