The call was bad, the punt was worse but the decision to punt was fatal. Dude should be fired.

What, you were going to go for it from mid-field, with a three point lead? And if you fail, they're only 15-20 yards out of field goal range? You punt the ball, and if your punter and punt coverage is any good you're downing the ball at around the 10 and making them drive ninety yards.

I think what he meant to say was that "Being FORCED to punt" was fatal. Although I think that's a bit dramatic, since the refs don't decide how BADLY you punt...

Still sucked, but that's Lions Playoff Football for ya!
 
In more important news, its nice to see that Cape is as big of a dousche in real life as he perceives himself to be here. :D

Yes...Seattle, NE, Denver all teams that would have gone for it there. 4th and 1 against a mediocre defense. You have Reggie Bush, Calvin Johnson, Joique Bell, Stafford... A ton of assets. You should be able to get a yard.

Nope.

New England did something similar a few years back against the Colts, going for it on fourth-and-2 (and failing, and losing the game). But that was from the Colts 40 yard line, and Indy's offense that year was pretty much unstoppable. New England's defense that year was also pretty atrocious. New England has also been pretty much driving at will, too - that was a case where it was much better to trust in your offense to gain two yards, than to trust your defense not to give up eighty.

Not the same situation as yesterday. Cowboys would have been almost in field goal range already if you failed. You're on the road, which makes it that much harder to get a good play off, or to effectively do a hard-count. And Reggie Bush is good, but he's not the kind of running back you just give the ball to and trust he's going to push the pile forward for two years (he's not... gasp! Marshawn Lynch). As good as Megatron is, that's not a passing down.

Would have been phenomenally stupid to go for it there, on the road, basically conceding the tie if you don't make it. You punt the ball and make them drive 80-90 yards to win, or at least make them drive 50 yards for a shot at the tie. Especially since Detroit's defense has mostly been pretty good.
 
Don't ask me... You're the whiney one.

My suspicion is that you're just still heart broken about the Dolphins baaaa-lowing

Whiney? HA! You proved us all right.

And dont get all conceded on us, I couldnt make it past the second paragraph.

BTW, 75% of the comments werent even about you. HAHAHAHAHA. Classic.

No
 
Who cares if they went for it... didn't go for it... PI call... No PI call... None of it matters. Eventually anyone who moves on will have to hit the complete dead-end that is playing the Pats.
 
Alright alright... Let's all simmer down. Moto and I can't help it if we are HBT "celebrities".... the public spoke... and we simply answered.

None of that changes the basic facts that:
1) the Dolphins suck somethin fierce
2) the Pats continue to be tremendously awesome
 
Cape, you make a good point, except not. I seem to also remember that I too have done a Brew and A. Dont pretend that you "must have missed it". :D
 
Completely missed it.... but lemme guess... you just happpppened to have the link handy?

Christ... They'll let anyone do those things

Not surprising you missed it being that it came out on Black Friday. I'm sure you were busy fighting other massholes at Walmart to save a few bucks on sometime already headed to a landfill.
