I'd call it a come back. It helped SF that Campbell left 6 points on the table by going for it on 2 4th downs. So much for grit.Depending on your perspective, that was either an epic choke job by the Lions or an incredible comeback by the Niners. Or maybe both.
@LuvMyQuad brought it up also. I agree with Campbell's decision on the first opportunity to go for the 4th and 2 from the 28. He knew that the Lions pass defense was suspect and that the 49ers could score quickly, so he needed the extra four points. Also, I don't know how much trust he had in his rookie kicker and a miss would have given the Niners the ball on the 35 yard line.All that's true, but Campbell threw away 6 points going for it on 4th twice. When a team loses there is plenty of blame to go around. You win as a team and lose as a team. You can probably find a bunch of missed opportunities on both teams if you scrutinize every play.
I was pulling for the Lions, but…@LuvMyQuad brought it up also. I agree with Campbell's decision on the first opportunity to go for the 4th and 2 from the 28.

But the second 4th down decision made no sense to me unless, yet again, he wasn't confident in his rookie kicker.
Anyway, as usual, another NFL games with a bunch of "if onlys."
thanks MarkieI'm a bit tired this morning.
It was a well fought game. I am watching the game on TV now.
Rickie, hats off to you and the Lions, what a great season.
Don't waste your money on a 49er mini helmet, not worth it. All bets off.
Sonik, well here we are again, last time we had Jimmy G., this time Brock Purdy.
We will definitely need to try harder this time.
That's a Purdy bold prediction; you sure you don't wanna Brock down?Easy road now for KC. Easily KC to repeat.
