Lions fan here. Dan going for it is how they got there. I said they should kick, because SF had just scored a FG so you wanna at least keep the margin, but 3 consecutive errors is what did them in: 1. When they went for it on 4th down, Reynolds didn't make the catch. That guy has been clutch all year and like 90% of his catches were for 1st downs, but still he should have caught it. 2. The bizarre 51 yard catch off the defender's face. Vildor should have had the INT but instead it set up SF for a TD. 3. Gibbs fumbling the ball to set up the tying TD. Gibbs has been great especially at protecting the ball, but that whole play seemed botched from jump. Any one of those 3 doesn't happen, The Lions likely win. Not many predicted them to win and they scored 31, or the road, and lost by 3. Great season, but yeah, disappointing way to lose even if the outcome (SF winning) was mostly expected.

Can we please not have the argument of who won them the game? They don’t win without Purdys amazing second half, Bosa’s 2 sacks and TFL’s, Warners amazing game, Aiyuks incredible catch, and of course CMC. The team willed that comeback. All of them deserve credit.

Of all of the teams I thought had the cajones to make a big comeback, I would not have suggested the Shanahan and Purdy 49ers. Of all the teams who could go up 24-7 on the 49ers and blow it, I would not have expected the Dan Campbell Lions.

Im a 9ers fan but somehow the NFL is feeling more like a carefully choreographed play where teams and players will do Uncharacteristic things and ultimately the darling (or chosen) teams ultimately still come out on top. I dunno. Maybe im just jaded but the last several seasons it feels like things are planned more and more.

[@izzk9126]

Purdy was 13-16, 174 yards, 49 rushing yards in the 2nd half. He hasn't been stellar so far in the playoffs by any means. But he has put the team in a position to comeback and win two weeks in a row. This one obviously being far more significant. Now the narrative will be "He has never come from behind while on the road against a winning team". This guy is basically in his rookie season plus 7 full games. He's a rookie and a half and an upgrade over everyone else we've had start under center. The end.

This isn't about going for it on 4th down, dude. This is about the fact that the Lions defense let TWENTY SEVEN unanswered points get through them. This is about dropped balls that should have been interceptions. This is about letting Purdy run on our defense. The 4th downs were the right calls, the PLAYERS couldn't execute. And the offense couldn't keep up with the defense that was letting the floodgates open point wise. This narrative about Dan has to stop. There was WAY more going on here.
