Lions vs. 49ers

Purdy isnt bettet than Pickett. Sorry. He is on an elite offensive team and looks like trash
Ben Johnson is calling a great game. He clearly took note of Green Bay running the ball on SF last week. They are getting blockers out in space and bullying the Niners.
I was about to say that if Pickett was running the 49ers offense he would have some very gaudy statistics. Purdy has elevated his interception pct this year versus last year. I’m underwhelmed with him when going up against good defenses.
The lions are relentless on offense. Their pace is just amazing. If you compare them to the Steelers it is night and day.
And the amazing thing is, they have great success running the football which is what Tomlin loves. The difference is that it isn’t three yards and a cloud of dust. It is motion (meaningful motion, not stupid wide receiver jet motion), unusual formations, and getting athletic runners in space.
Hopefully he is looking for this kind of offense and pace with the new OC, but I am not holding my breath.

Easy to second guess but I was questioning the Campbell decision to go for it on 4th even before they came up short.. At that point in the game take the points and keep forcing SF to score to keep pace. That stop turned the entire game momentum.
Not kicking the FG, the ball bouncing off the DB’s face mask, fumble, and dropped passes. Total free fall.
Wow, choke city.
I wanna know why the official threw that flag before the ball bounced off a face mask and was caught, though.

Coach cost Lions a super bowl by not being satisfied to go up by 17 halfway thru the 3rd qtr..
He put them in a position to get it. Dude dropped an easy catch. A 45-yard field goal isn't automatic.
Better odds than 4th and 2+(see 2pt conversion rate to verify)... The fg puts them in a position to go to the super bowl which appears to be no longer the case.
Campbell doubled down on stupid.
I couldn't be any less interested in a Super Bowl than the Chiefs vs the 49ers. It would be like watching a Patriots scrimmage against themselves.
Campbell looking like the guy in Vegas who splits 2's.
I didn't agree with going for it the second time at all. They scored 20 straight and had all the momentum. There, I would have taken the points. Campbell has kind of jumped the shark with this stuff.
Maybe the reason that Campbell didn't want to settle for field goals is because he's watched his team play defense all season?
I mean Cam Sutton is probably their top cornerback, and he pretty much stinks.

Campbell better learn when to hold and when to fold. Kick the damn FG. Go Chiefs, or the Niners get a 6th Lombardi.
