Media hyped him. He has a big ego. Had to be the star of the game. Should have just kicked the FG and win it in OT.

 

Main reason I'm not buying the Lions hype is because of their HC.

 

Wilks>Campbell I didn't forget!

 

Playoffs on the line Wilks spanked them. But Campbell is the next great HC lmao

I agree with your points and I am wondering what’s the hype with Ben Johnson.. his offense is blah with better players than we have .. not sold on Johnson

The Lions defense had been solid all night. If Campbell doesn’t have confidence in his defense to get a stop in OT after kicking the XP in regulation then I think that says more about him as a coach than going for two multiple times does.

If he doesn’t think his defense can get a stop in OT then he needs to prepare his defense better but going for two from the seven yard line (even though there was a penalty) and then again from the 4 is just dumb. Even if you have three plays drawn up that you’d deem are a success, the odds that you succeed are slim.

Just bad coaching.

Dan Campbell’s aggression fugs his team way too much.

Passed up free points in the first half which in hindsight would have won the game for the Lions and then continuing to go for two three straight times instead of sending the game to OT is idiotic.

I’m all for being aggressive but some of his decisions are moronic.

I agree with this. You can't just be over aggressive for the sake of being over aggressive. It will lose you close games like this one.

 

How about that performance from Hutchinson tho? That's what we dream Burns could be an absolute game wrecker. 

I wouldn't have minded trading burns to Detroit for their round 2 and round 3  picks, honestly.

He got cocky. That special teams call got him a 1st down. Dude started feeling himself and went for it again late trying to be the hero.

 

He's just to cocky for me. Media loves him though lol

Hutchinson was a force tonight which makes Campbell’s decision to continue going for two even more baffling.

The Lions defense was playing solid. The Cowboys only drove the field once, the other TD was just CeeDee Lamb being CeeDee Lamb.

I don’t get the decision.

    • Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed. 
    • We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.
    • I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
