***Championship Sunday 2024***

This. If you aren't confident in your kicker under 50 he shouldn't be kicking for you. Kickers are not that fucking hard to find.
No shit.

I don’t think it was that necessarily. Campbell is just a dummy who is being a tough guy and shit. Bite my knee cap dumb fuck. He’ll be fired probably after next season.

Certainly has the feel of a guy that a team will outgrow and that you'll have to upgrade from.
 
College kickers kick from there on the regular. There's just no excuse to say my kicker can't make under 50 yard kicks.
If the idiot coach was concerned he should have gone out signed Robbie Gould who was sitting in his couch. This was the biggest game in Detroit history and he wasn’t alright with his fucking kicker? Dumb fuck. Besides I hate Dan Campbell and am sure he’ll be clipped sooner than later because he’s over his head as a head coach.

Yep. Guy was begging to come back when the 49er rookie was struggling in preseason. He would have relished the opportunity.
 
Imagine half your homies are Niner fans that give you shit about the Raiders sucking and then them winning a SB in our stadium. Fucking hell.
Better than a division rival who’s star TE shit talks the Raiders whenever they play. They win and the take over the Super Bowl lead with four. It’s bad enough Denver tied us with three. I wil me actively rooting the the Niners. Sorry @Chris_77. You’re my boy and I love you, but I gotta do what I gotta do.

Agreed

I think once Johnson moves on, the gig will be up and he will get further exposed. Not immediately. I don’t Lions will implode but come back to earth.

Eventually he will get canned. If I was a Lions fan today, I’d be furious for blowing the best opportunity for a championship in 66 years.

Campbell never stopped doing what he did all season. He gambled a lot and won but crapped out last night.
 
The Lions went 3-13-1 in Campbells first season. Two years later his team is in the conference championship.

The logic that fans think the coach should be fired for yesterday's loss is stupid.....

Did you listen to that tool in his post game presser? He all but said “we’re done. We missed our opportunity“. Nice. He’ll be fired not because the fans want it but because he’s a loose cannon and uses no common sense based on the situation at hand.
 
I didn't listen to his postgame presser. But it is still flawed logic. Maybe if they go 3-13-1 next season. That would be the only reason to shitcan him at that point.

I doubt they’ll go 3-13-1 next year but pretty sure there will be significant slippage and his head will roll. No telling how much the improvement is his doing or Johnson who won’t be around next year.

It’s getting old seeing every time a team has a good year half the coordinators are taken from them. I get why it happens but it really does suck for the team that doesn’t have a strong HC that can basically take over half the roster as DC/OC . The HC’s that can absorb the losses the best keep the wining tradition going. Andy, BB, Harbaugh, and now Shanahan. McVay is probably in this category as well as Tomlin.

It is what it is, and you gotta take your chance when you have it, but it does make it hard for teams to get good and hold onto it for any length of time. It’s a testament to how good these coaches are and how well the design a succession plan and adapt it for the next guy up, or the next one brought in.

He's too emotional to be trusted to make sound decisions. Had they made it to the Super Bowl, he probably would have gotten arrested a couple of nights before the game doing something stupid at a casino. Dude throwed off or some shit.

Things change as expectations change, so it's going to be fair game going forward. He's not out-strategizing anybody. Lions have a lot of good players. That offensive line is stacked. He needs to tone down the roller coaster, or he's bound to crash with how he coaches. It's like a more talented version of Brandon Staley.

It's hard to overstate how much he's turned that franchise around. That's really what sucks about the game. He shit the bed at the most inopportune time. It's ok to go for it in regular season and have that attitude in regular season but you have to coach the moment and the game. What you did before should not dictate what you do in key moments- and no moment was more significant than the one where he passed on the first (and easier) FG. He was less than two quarters from the Superbowl with a lead and had the chance to add points. The dude deserves all the credit in the world for that he did with that franchise; but deserves all the criticism for what happened last night as well.

I don't think it'll get that bad because Holmes has stacked those rosters, but he needs to reinvent his approach. Yesterday wasn't the first time they've had wild emotional swings in a game that coincided with the scoreboard, and that's directly reflective of him as an HC.

He’s the Mark Davis of Detroit. :righton:

The media has been falling all over themselves about how cool it is that Campbell is a river boat gambler etc. until, of course, when it backfired on him in the biggest game Detroit has had since 1957.
