Every Time Dan Campbell Went for it on 4th Down in 2023

[@alonzorodriguez6820]

Running the ball on 4th and 5 and getting the first is crazy. Dan Campbell is a psycho

[@m0rtalsquid]

personally I would attempt anything 4th and 3 under

[@urmomlovesme5467]

Down by 15 headass, what are they gonna do punt with 5 min left in the 4th?

[@billyhill7630]

Campbell is the kind of guy that hits on 17 in blackjack.

[@hiimemily]

And yet he keeps getting 3s and 4s.

[@PrescientRevolt]

19 for 39 yes? appx. 49% completion rate. Dan Gamble knows what he is doing.

[@henbi7264]

the thing people missed about this is that like a solid dozen of these are just regular old "we're down by a crap late in the 4th we have to go for it" like multiple against the ravens, if you actually just look at scenarios where they faked or ""couldve just taken the points"" it was actually 18/27, 67% completion.

[@jessesteeves9876]

Mindboggling amount of comments saying this cost the play offs when... 3/5 of these in the playoffs scored a TD lmao. You do that every time if you're not braindead.

[@henbi7264]

@jessesteeves9876 fr, the objective truth is Drops cost us the playoffs, we could probably have had 2 more touchdowns without drops

[@Brocuzgodlocdunfamdogson]

I’d love to see the results of a team going for it on every 4th down past the 50 or on any 4th and short, regardless of field position. As well as going for 2 every time. You could even free up a valuable roster spot by not carrying a kicker. For the Lions, Fox handles both punting and kickoffs, they could feasibly not have a kicker. Worst case scenario, Fox can kick too…or even let Melifonwu kick if it’s short enough, he’s done it before. There are still times where kicking would make sense, like a 4th and long from inside the 25.

If Dan Campbell proved anything to me this year, he proved to me that going for it on 4th down can be just affective as kicking the field goal with the right personel

I’d run through a wall for Dan Campbell, so to go for it on 4th down is a piece of cake lol

[@BluBiscuit]

he saw that one young sheldon episode and said "fuck it"

[@maolenvinpelaez2199]

BALLS FUCKING DEEP!

[@thealphabetsong4585]

Just from my take watching this, most of these were good calls or if not good, gutsy and some of them would’ve been bad had they not converted. And apart from the 4th down they went for against the Seahawks up 4 in their own territory, none of the regular season games were lost because the team went for it on 4th down, they were already down big in the Ravens/Packers/Bears games and the Cowboys game was lost on the blown 2-PT conversion But the costliest one came against the 49ers when they went for it up 14 instead of kicking the FG to go up 3 scores… and honestly that wasn’t even Dan’s fault, it was a good play call, the receiver just dropped the ball Then after a TD, fumble, TD, punt, and FG, the Lions were suddenly down 3 and I understand why they were aggressive the rest of the game since their defense was giving way, but that 4th down up 14 was the biggest momentum shifter and caused the largest consequence, but drops and missed opportunities like that are what you have to live with when you go all out like that It’s working out alright for Dan so far but it could easily go haywire and backfire like it did with Brandon Staley if it’s mishandled

[@RedHotWop]

No, the packers game could’ve been close. 4th down from own 30. Two plays later packers scored and opened it up. You can win and lose by the knife. I get the 4th down is lions identity. If youre up by a few scores like the niners game…just take fgs, it would’ve put the game away

[@jacobsokiguess292]

We need a kicker so badly

[@megadong5967]

I knew we went for it a lot but not this much 😂😂😂😂

[@ericscott9029]

Damn the Chargers were 4-4 at one point this season?! Get them competent management and a good defense and they're contenders.

[@user-mh5db3dh8u]

What I gather from this video is that running the ball on fourth down equals near 100 percent success. Passing though, near 100 percent failure.

[@timothydrummond3097]

I mean we probably have a shorter distance to go if running but yeah interesting to note

[@micahkkard69420]

Imagine if he had a dual threat qb on these 4th downs.

[@Imbored1438]

The funny thing is, this video is 6:35

19/40 by my count

[@hungrypandastudios6213]

[@blackflag456]

Now Campbell's Lions go into the new season forcing opponents defenses to prepare to play all four downs.

[@matthewroberts6833]

And prepare opponents' offenses to work with short fields.

[@trumanbadra8003]

Yeah the lesson is to keep doing it. 50% completion is worth it. F you and your cowardly coach!

[@Curious_KJ]

As a Lions fan, I hope he keeps doing what he's doing because he took the Lions to the NFCCG for the first time in 30 years.

[@trumanbadra8003]

lesson learned: Keep going for it on 4th and forget you and your coward ass coach

[@scorpion_necron2282]

At 1:00 he really can't catch

[@billyhill7630]

4th and goal at the one makes sense, 4th and a few from just outside your kickers range I can live with, 4th and a few on your side of the 50 DUMB, 4th and goal at the 3 with your team trailing by 10 late in the game extra DUMB. The thing is, even on some of those what is the reward for the gamble. A new set of downs? Ok so you still have to do something with that. You took a 50/50 gamble just to keep a drive alive but aren't guaranteed points. Man I would love to play poker against this guy.

[@greatwhite3676]

You dont have money to gamble. You sound so weak and soft. but but muh field goals. If he kicks and the result is bad you say the same thing. When Sean Peyton went for it he was a genius. Campbell is playing to his strength: the offense

The Lions are a much healthier franchise now than they were at this time last year. campbell has been a huge part of the turnaround in Detroit, and that turnaround was DECADES overdue.

[@lucasedmonds5120]

But doesn’t go for it on 4 and 2 from the goal ljne against the 49ers and kicks a field goal instead. In the moment i didnt think it was the right move but understood taking the points but i just wish they went for it.

[@Curious_KJ]

At the end of the half? Yeah, should have went for it instead of taking the point while they had the momentum.

At 58 years of age, Dan Campbell is the best coach ever

[@mfv533]

Going for it when you are up 24 10 in field goal range in the 3rd quarter of the NFC Championship is by far the dumbest decision I've ever seen a coach make

[@hagamapama]

Then you must have been an embryo when Pete Carroll called a pass play iin SB49 That was way, way worse. I don't think what Campbell did is all that bad. He knows that the 9ers have a strong offense and his defense isn't fantastic. He's going to have to score often to win, so that's what he tries to do. this time it didn't work. But it worked to get him that far, and for a team as starved for postseason success as Detroit, even getting this far was huge.

[@mfv533]

@@hagamapama Thinking getting this far was huge is a terrible way to look at it. He blew a 14 point lead by using analytics aggressively. Having a 17 point lead halfway through the 3rd quarter puts alot of pressure on San Fran and would have allowed his defense to play aggressively up 3 scores. He literally set his team to fail by letting San Fran take all the momentum.
