Imagine had they kicked FGs earlier. 

Imagine if the receivers had caught a few passes in key moments of the third quarter

I can’t root for this team with such a reckless coach.  He threw the game.

Campbell with a clinic of amateur level coaching in this game.  Would be cool to have 3 timeouts. Asshole. 

You can't blame Campbell on this one.

Well fellas, it was a good nineteen and a half game run. Let’s draft some CBs and another pass rusher, shall we?

I would consider that a win for the rest of us.

The plays were there... The Lions did not make them

Buh bye

I don't know if I'll ever get over this game. The season, which should have been considered wildly successful regardless of this result, somehow feels like a failure now. Only the Lions can find a way to cap an incredible season like this with a collapse like this. Maybe I'll look at the season more fondly the further we get from today but right now, it feels like a failure in a game that was right there for them to take.  I blame Campbell for foolishly going for it up 24-10 and in FG range, completely turned the game right there and then.

Jesus, ignore TP. Quit quoting him.

If we just catch the ball....

What a great fun season. Massive potential.

You absolutely can. His foolish bravado on that 4th down completely changed the momentum, you kick the 45-47 yard FG there to go up 27-10. No brainer

I love him as coach but he cost them there.

Great.  Keep rooting for a team that works harder to lose than to win. How can anyone keep their job when don’t kick the FGs and then waste time he most valuable timeout of all time?  How do you run the ball?

[The Ronz]

SOL.

[TP_Fan]

I’ve seen enough.  Fire Dan Campbell.

Like the TCU game.  Use it as fuel

Don't let the door hit you on the way out. Enjoy your new team

Why do you care...you arent a Lions fan now

[TP_Fan]

Same old lions. Dangerously inept coach.  

[number20]

Wow. Lions had this game. They had it

They won’t be back. They will overpay goff and that will be game over.

I don't agree, even a little bit. This was the most fun I've had following this team in my life. And it's been since the late 60's. Great, great season. Yes, bad loss to end it but nobody can take away our historic run.

Well, then I expect to not see you around next season because Campbell is surely going to be here next year. He's done what no other coach has done in Detroit in more than half a century. Top 4 team in the NFL. That's nothing to be ashamed of.
