3rd quarter meltdown. That’s about what you would expect.  How the hell do you not kick that FG. I just can’t understand why Dan Campbell made the worst decision of all time. 

I genuinely believe that if they had kicked it, and he had missed it, you’d be saying the same thing about them not going for it.

Jesus how many times do people have to tell you that it wasn't a guaranteed 3 points in that situation, the decision was do you trust a guy to kick a FG longer than he has all year and is at best a coin flip from that distance or gain 2 yards when you're averaging nearly 10 yards a  play for the game? 

[ben9753]

It's the NFC Championship game. its not supposed to be easy.

[TP_Fan]

It was a 45 yard FG to go up 3 scores.  You just can’t pass that up.  You can’t do it.  

[Shinzaki]

Big drive coming here

It was a 45 yarder.

I didn't like the St Brown run on 3rd down. You have two really good backs. Hand it to Montgomery or Gibbs instead. 

[holygoat]

That missed pick might be the spark that launches the 49ers to win this. Just a terrible play.

[KL2]

Just need points.

This cantbe happening

I’d be upset at badge, but 100 times out of 100 you kick it. It’s. 45 yarder. It’s the nfl.

what team do you think you root for?

[TP_Fan]

And niners have the ball on an immediate fumble.  Dan Campbell has single handedly lost this game with that decision.  

[The Ronz]

This is a loss.

[KL2]

Oh no

Yep

[MichiganCardinal]

Sutton needed that. Good tackle.

[TP_Fan]

That’s why you kick the ****ing field goal.  It’s just so god damn obvious.  You should never ever go for it when they did.  It changed everything .

Thanks Dan.
