Tom, thank you SO much for understanding what Dan Campbell is about as a coach. You can't put it any better.

[@LLcLL314]

He cost you a trip to the superbowl lmao

[@robotom6595]

​@@LLcLL314he didn't fumble the ball next to the goal line. He didn't bounce an interception off his helmet into the opposing receiver's hand. Drop passes. Poor defense. Campbell did his traditional ballsy plays, but that isn't the only reason we lost.

​@robotom6595 yeah our piss poor secondary was a way bigger problem than MCDCs guts. Thankfully that's completely upgraded this year

[@claylarson3021]

YES. That is what Lions like to hear as a take on Campbell, well said!

[@sethvoll]

Damn, Tom put him in his place for that comment about the field goal. Glad to see some people aren’t afraid to have opinions instead of regurgitate someone else’s.

[@stevenbaffy7937]

Gibbs does not need to have an "MVP" season. The Lions have plenty of weapons to spread around. They also do not need to kick field goals, they need to stay aggressive. What they need is to have a passing defense that can protect a lead. Edit: Some will think pass rush, but really it is more about the coverage or increasing sack rate when they blitz.

[@powerofk]

Let’s put it this way. The Lions led the league in QB pressures, but were close to the bottom in sacks. In other words, tons of QBs were able to somehow escape Lions pressure (most obviously seen during the late 3rd, and entire 4th quarter of the NFC championship game). Turn even 10% of those pressures into sacks & hurries, and no one is talking about a week pass D.

[@sethkrueger9294]

It's honestly embarrassing how many talking heads ignore the most obvious, glaring weakness the Lions had last year. They finished DEAD LAST in air yards and yards per reception. There is literally nowhere to go but up for that part of the squad, which they pretty much HAVE to have done through free agency and the draft at this point. One of those guys is going to be better than the guy he's replacing(but probably more than one).

[@williamhermann6635]

[@TecMatt]

Did everyone just conveniently forget the Lions were supposed to trust Michael Badgely in the NFC Championship? I know it fits the Same Old Lions narrative better to pin it on Campbell but it's pretty clear by their offseason transactions that they didn't trust their kicker

[@NA-bi2ly]

Should’ve kicked the field goal against the rams and *checks notes* lose by 3

[@williamhermann6635]

Lol sure blame the kicker for one of the worst in-game decisions of all-time

[@RMDole19]

@@williamhermann6635 Badgley for his career is operating at somewhere in the 60% range for field goal attempts from 40+ yards. The Lions were 18-21 on 4th down with 4 or less yards to go for the season. They had been perfect in those situations in the playoffs. It was the right call. Josh Reynolds dropped the pass and then he dropped another crucial 3rd down pass later. Probably a big reason why he’s not on the team anymore lol.

[@williamhermann6635]

@@RMDole19 A bad decision is a bad decision. I get Campbell has revitalized the Lions, but he's not above accountability. You cant just play the numbers all the time. Sometimes you gotta make the safe move and live to see another day. Campbell took overcoached his team out of a super bowl appearance.

[@joshlewis575]

​@@williamhermann6635guarantee that going for it had way higher odds than trusting Badgley to kick 45+ yarders. Dude is a literal coin flip if he makes that. I'm not taking a 50/50 chance on the kicker missing ever. Slap in the face to your offense, because they know the odds too.

[@wfe4210]

Everyone misses that the lions didn't trust their kicker to get the points.

[@willfitz777]

Kicker had not made a kick over 45yds on grass since 2020

[@claylarson3021]

And also they liked the odds of thier O getting a first down better than the D stopping a drive. Both of those odds are adjusting this year with those holes being filled.

[@joshlewis575]

​@@willfitz777exactly, but sure let's trot him out there for a 50 yarder. I want the offense getting a try in that situation all day everyday. If Josh Reynolds did what he did all year it never matters, but somehow he all of a sudden forgot how to catch. Oh and when Badgley inevitably shanked it you give up 10 more yards of field position too. Hilarious people think they know the team better than Dan Campbell himself

[@willfitz777]

Unbelievable at the point that all these professionals with all the stats at their fingertips still don't know that the Lions kicker had not made a single kick over 45yds on grass since 2020. SMH

The Lions are winning the SB this season and the dynasty begins…

[@mt_baldwin]

How has this gotten so twisted around? Tom casually says Drake Maye is the furthest of the top drafted QB's to be ready to play in the NFL and William the most ready. This is flat out wrong, Maye was considered the MOST NFL ready, with Caleb Williams the furthest, Maye has played nothing but a pro style offense and Williams has never played one and hasn't even taken 3 and 7 step drop back passes, all he's ever run is a style not used in the pro's and all his snaps have been from the shotgun. Go find there scouting and draft reports, it's all there for anyone to read and all that's happened since then is a couple offseason workouts. Yet somehow, without a single second football being played, now Maye is the least ready and Williams the most NFL ready. WTF.

[@williamhermann6635]

Ummm not even close. Bo Nix is by far the most pro ready considering he played more college games than any other college qb ever.

[@Ryan-wx1bi]

Nobody ever said Maye was the most ready 😂. They just said he had the most NFL prototypical skillset physically

[@ericphillipssr.4381]

Blame the NFC championship loss on dropped passes, face, mask deflections, being too aggressive, not having faith in the kicker. How about on that fourth down and 3 yards, in San Fran’s territory, the whole right side of the field was open on the dropped pass to Reynolds. If JG had an ounce of athleticism, he could’ve run for at least seven or 8 yards, instead of trying to squeeze that pass in. I guess it’s not mentioned because it doesn’t fit the narrative.

[@Modrod21]

You can never convince me that not kicking those FGs was the right call for the Lions. Take the points! Games are won by scoring. Not every drive will be a TD.
