That isn't the way guys like Campbell think though, DP.The last time the Lions were there was 1991.
With losses to the coaching staff and free agency being what it is, you can't ever assume you'll be right back there.
They may never get this far again.
The playoffs are much different than the regular season, You had an 80 % plus chance of making the two field goals and less than 50% chance of making the first downs. You take the 3 points every time in the playoffs.I was fine with Campbell going for it the first time. His aggressiveness is what got them to where they are. And the play call worked. Goff was a little off on the throw but Reynolds should have caught it.
The second time though, he should definitely have kicked to tie the game with 7 minutes left. There is different pressure when the game is tied vs when you have the lead. Plus SF can't go up more than 1 score if they do score. But you also know that he would go for 2 if the Lions scored after being down 7. So he would have been criticized for that too.
The bottom line is he coached the way he had all year and got them to the NFC Championship. His decisions are definitely worth criticizing, but I'd rather my coach do what has worked all year than pucker up and play it safe in the playoffs to avoid criticism.
Chase wont be in the NFL next year he is total hype and nothing more.In fairness to him, he actually made a few plays yesterday. I was even waiting to see he was the one with the blown assignment on that end around TD, but it was Bosa who collapsed and left the backside wide open. The few times I heard Young’s name, he was making a play.
The 49ers thought that and gave us a 3 for complete trash. If San Fran can't get him going with all that other talent around him no one will. Now if he wants to play for vet min......I think he will. Just like a beautiful but bat-shit crazy girl, someone will fully believe that she is just misunderstood and can be fixed.
Willhe play for vet min - that's all he will be offered. Any team paying more is INSANE after watching him on the SF defenseHe will not get anywhere near a big money offer but it only takes one. Scott Turner is being interviewed for the Patriots OC job.
I’ll bet you a chicken wing that he is on a team come August unless he decides to quit the game.
You have to do something to retire from it, don’t you? 😎Would not surprise me if Chase Young retired after the season's over.
Dude has lost the passion for the game...what little he had. Some guys just want to say they made it. The greats live it.
