I adore the person that did the research to see if Dan's caffeine intake was comparable to being on coke. It isn't and it would never be but it's hilarious nonetheless
And people need to finally fucking realize, after over and over being shown evidence, that 4th down conversions are STILL underutilized.
Good God the studies and proof existed over 10 years ago. It's to the point of even being mainstream with Amazon telling you point blank on their next gen stats stream.
You go for it on 4th and short because the chances of stopping your opponent is high and even if they get 3 points you getting 7 absolutely negates it.
People got on Dan Campbell early because we were losing but it was the right call 90% of the time.
Maybe FINALLY people will get over failing 4th down conversions. Especially in Detroit. We saw for DECADES going for a field goal every time is game losing. You cannot win when you concede to field goals and the other team puts up 7. You fall behind so quickly. It was maddening when the other team would go for it on 4th and short and convert even once a game then score. The score is the equivalent of like 3 possessions.
For every success like that there is a failure. Case in point the shuffle flip pass that Dalvin Cook was supposed to make and instead got blown up and fumbled just before the end of the half.
The Vikings fumble at the goal line (or right near it) is probably what sealed the deal. You don't often see turnovers so close to the end zone outside of Packers games.
No joke I was worried Cousins to Jefferson tag team was going to take us down alone. I'm surprised you guys went for the onside kick at the end. I would have kicked and made the Lions coaching staff have a harder decision with clock management vs their normal play calling scheme that they have success with.
Jefferson is a terror. I'm pretty sure he is single handedly going to make our GM go with an early CB 1 draft pick to help contain his inevitable parade of big plays.
Sorry Jefferson got whistled out of bounds. The Lions normally get the short end of the stick on tef penalties but that still didn't sit right. Hate to see the refs botch the flow of the game calling dead a massive play like that. It would have been a big momentum switch and given more time on the clock.
Thatās fair enough. I think the exciting thing to watch for me is a guy who was def marginal last year but has flipped the switch and is a talented/compelling watch. I definitely love the Lions and Iām glad our narrow shave against them Week 1 looks better and better of late

Goff?
Last week we saw the Lions take victory formation pretty early.
This game with 10 mins left my old man said "This is over, we won" but I was still super scared about it.
Not sure how to handle clear wins yet. I love it.
A team huddling like that with the play clock ticking down on an obvious punt downā¦ we were all shouting fake before it even happened. Terrible on the Vikingsā part.
Yeah, it should have been offsetting at minimum. Trashing talking is not equivalent to trying to cause harm to another player in between plays. exemplifies poor sportsmanship.
Sweet summer child. Welcome to Lions football. At least they kept the ball... Seriously though I hope the Zebras get the memo that it's OK for the Lions to win now š
I love the lions more than my own team tbh. I have a genFam class this week so I get to watch football today. Iām glad I decided to watch lions vikes before I watched the bucs blow it. Detroit is fun football
I knew it would be a good game but I didnāt know it would be this amazing. Lions have always made me want to watch them but I usually work sundays during football time. Iām glad I decided this was the game I watched today. Electrifying. Predictably unpredictable. I wish Dan was my coach. Oh well. You lions fans deserve him!
Dan is on coke and is ready to plow
He really does not want to lose to the Vikings again after last timeš
He will literally never lose again
Jamo gets like 2 snaps a game. Dan's just taking it easy on teams.
when's he drafting shoresy.

Big Sexy?

I did this to my wife exactly once. Our relationship is pretty easy going, but saying āhuh?ā while sheās answering is now strictly verboten.
offshoot of Letterkenny TV show called Shoresy and tells the coach he will never lose again

You ever see the video of Dave grohl and his coffee obsession that led him to the hospital?
FRESH POTS
Yeah but itās better than heroin
Taylor Hawkins disagrees
Nahhh, I feel like heād probably agree now.
He's got his wad of 100's
I'm glad at least one person understood the reference
Dantis Toboggan.
Mantis
Dantis Campbell Toboggan.
Ongo Danglobian
He's got his magnum condoms
Monster condom* For his magnum dong
That name again is Mr Plow
SNOW DAY, BITCHES!
One of those plays that would get the coach absolutely fucking buried if it doesnāt work lol
MCDC is something ridiculous like 6/7 on fake punt conversions lmao
What does the MC stand for?
MCDC= Motor City Dan Campbell
MCā”ļøDC = āMotor Cityā Dan Campbell
Motor City. I think Pat McAfee started it
Motor City, although I've seen Man Campbell as well
Man Campbell Dan Campbell?
Yep lol. But typically Motor City Dan Campbell
It was originally Motor City Dan Campbell
My sources tell me it's Motor City Dan Campbell
You know, Iāve really learned a lot today.
Man Campbell Dan Campbell is my preference.
>Man Campbell Just...no. it's motor city.
I mean, that's what I answered with lol. I've seen 'Man Campbell' but it's definitely a joke
It was a joke shortly after the name took off. Itās canon now
Should be "Main Character".
massive cock (to pair with his enormous balls)
Motor city
Motor City Dan Campbell
Motor City Dan Campbell
MOTOR CITY!
Motor City
Motor City baby
Most Cautious Dan Campbell
Mainline's Coke
Master and Commander
Monster Cock
Mr. Coach Dan Campbell
Motor City
And the 7th was a straight up drop on a perfect pass from Fox.
Dave Fipp baby
Everything makes sense now
Normally I agree but Dave Fipp is a goat in his own right
I wonder how Coombs would have turned out if he didn't go behind Bevell's back on the fake punt and get fired the next day
Except at taking profile pictures
Like a jump pass that results in a fumble on the 5 yard line

Detroit Lions +1 fake punt; Minnesota Vikings -1 kneecap
Best vikings 3rd quarter
I love Dan Campbell.
The absolute audacity of that play call! Damn, the Lions are fun to watch this year.
Iāve always wondered why there arenāt more trick plays in the NFL, at least i did when i had less game knowledge
For every success like that there is a failure. Case in point the shuffle flip pass that Dalvin Cook was supposed to make and instead got blown up and fumbled just before the end of the half.
Like some other posters have said, if you make a play call like that and it doesn't work out you are getting torched by the fans and media.
And a stupid fucking penalty to bring it back 15 yards. Why's the special team player on the other side of the field talking shit?
Dan looked like he was ready to kill someone for that
I am amazed that retaliation didn't get called too but still ridiculously stupid.
I'm so hyped that the Lions were able to get a TD on this drive after that penalty and then the holding call to back them up on 3rd down
BRAND NEW LIONS
Huge momentum shifting playcall from the Lions
love me some fake punts.
Duke Shelley watched that ball get snapped but still went downfield, brain couldnāt comprehend that fake until way too late
Vikings are straight up getting outgunned, outcoached, out everything today. Just all around embarrasing.
I mean not really out gunned. Both teames gave up a huge amount of yards today. Lions were just better at the bend don't break part.
The Vikings fumble at the goal line (or right near it) is probably what sealed the deal. You don't often see turnovers so close to the end zone outside of Packers games.
Outgunned, outmanned. Outnumbered, outplanned!
We gotta make an all out stand!
Iām gonna need a right hand man
I mean is it technically that embarrassing when Vikings are the underdogs?
If you're 10-2 underdogs to the 5-7 lions you should be embarrassed
Put the lions in the playoffs you cowards
Hock had the nice toe drag sideline catch. I'm happy for him at least
No joke I was worried Cousins to Jefferson tag team was going to take us down alone. I'm surprised you guys went for the onside kick at the end.

It would have been a big momentum switch and given more time on the clock.
Detroit is the most exciting team and it's not even close. Happy for them and coach Campbell
Hmmm ok
Eagles are just too good, not exciting, but Hurts and the rest of the team are incredible.
Thatās fair enough. I think the exciting thing to watch for me is a guy who was def marginal last year but has flipped the switch and is a talented/compelling watch. I definitely love the Lions and Iām glad our narrow shave against them Week 1 looks better and better of late
>I think the exciting thing to watch for me is a guy who was def marginal last year but has flipped the switch and is a talented/compelling watch. Goff?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Fortune favors the bold.
MCDC for mayor
Rename all of America to Detroit and make him president
Motor Country Dan Campbell. Running on the platform of all of America makes cars now and they run on kneecaps.
Man
WELCOME TO AMERICA!
Campbell country, let's ride
Wtf I like the Lions
They just beat our ass and I like āāem too lol
Man, we gotta play these guys twice a year, shit is scary.
Fields is legit. Y'all are going to be fine. Lions & Bears top division..oh my.
Last week we saw the Lions take victory formation pretty early. This game with 10 mins left my old man said "This is over, we won" but I was still super scared about it. Not sure how to handle clear wins yet. I love it.
The absolute BALLS on Dan
Lions being the most bugnuts team of the year is not on my bingo card and I love it
A little trickery
we do a little trolling
MOTOR CITY DAN CAMPBELL AINT NO BITCH
I want death
A team huddling like that with the play clock ticking down on an obvious punt downā¦ we were all shouting fake before it even happened. Terrible on the Vikingsā part.
They're probably gonna name the play "Psyke the Vikes" from now on so they wont have to huddle. Make it even more devious.
Its fun watching this lions team
did anyone get a replay of the penalty? Viking player who got taunted laid a vicious headbutt against a lion that wasn't called.
Taunting happened before that so they got called.
Yeah, it should have been offsetting at minimum. Trashing talking is not equivalent to trying to cause harm to another player in between plays. exemplifies poor sportsmanship.
Sweet summer child. Welcome to Lions football. At least they kept the ball... Seriously though I hope the Zebras get the memo that it's OK for the Lions to win now š
I for one hope that the refs get that memo before week 18, we all know how the Lions in Lambeau goes
I recently heard āthey always call the second guyā for stuff like they. Apparently not!
That's why you'll never be an NFL ref.
neither will you. megamind over here.
Doesn't matter, Lions don't need that ticky-tacky bullshit to win against a 10-2 team.
The lions player was in the guys face for bit it seems like one where its usually called for both sides
Was Boger's crew on this one? He really seems to hate the Lions imo
I love the lions more than my own team tbh. I have a genFam class this week so I get to watch football today. Iām glad I decided to watch lions vikes before I watched the bucs blow it. Detroit is fun football
As a lifelong fan this make me really happy to hear.
I knew it would be a good game but I didnāt know it would be this amazing. Lions have always made me want to watch them but I usually work sundays during football time. Iām glad I decided this was the game I watched today. Electrifying. Predictably unpredictable. I wish Dan was my coach. Oh well. You lions fans deserve him!
33 is a dumbass
Fake punts either fail miserably or gain like 40+ yards it seems.
Soooooo many Lions highlights today
They stayed huddled for longer than normal and yelled watch the fake. And this happened.
So ballsy. I love it.
i fucking enjoy when special teams do something like this.
Cameraman finding Jalen āGuaranteeā Reagor at the end of the clip is great.
How does MCDC sit with balls that large??
B A L L S
KNEECAP BITINā LIMOUSINE RIDINā
This team is spicy. I like it.
WHEN IS MCDC GOING TO GET HIS OWN CAMPBELL'S SOUP COMMERCIAL?
Detroit is just a team you want to see do well.
I would just fake punt on every play. That shit is money.
What a fucking block there about 6 yards from the line of scrimmage. Absolutely makes the play.
Dan is a beast.
THE LIONS ARE SO EXCITING TO WATCH NOW!!!
This is the exact same play from the same spot on the field that the Texans ran in *that* game
