No. Neither should O'Shea with that dumb decision. I'd have rather lost trying to get the first down than on a 61 yard FG attempt.

 

The game didn't come down to 1 play tho. Our D was shredded. Our O did eff all the entire 2nd half.

Terrible call. I dont care if God is your kicker, you cannot try a 60 yarder at 3rd and 4 with 30+ seconds left

4 yards? Yeesh. What a way to lose. MOS will be kicking himself for a couple of days on this one. 

Loffler's my man though. What a football hit. Don't like to see Manny hurt but what a clean pure hit that's unfortunately being taken out of the game.

So because the O slowed down in 2nd half, except ofcourse for the 2 quick completed passes for 20 yards that Nichols JUST MADE, you decide to go for a 61 yard field goal that Medlock has never made? You and Oshea would get along great

Bunch of reactionary posts in here. 2nd half we did nothing. Our D was soft and gave up 200 plus yards or close on the ground. We lost because we weren't good enough and got ultra conservative in the 2nd half

That's pretty much a choke.

O'Shea turtled & panicked.  That's how I saw it. He got scared & made the wrong decision.

Reactionary post. What if we went for it and got stopped? It's not about 1 Damn play. It's about playing a full 60 and we didn't.  We lost because BC bent our Soft D Over all game long

Nichols throws for 10 short of 400 and yet I knew the offense would be in certain posters cross hairs

We lost because our defense couldn't stop a peewee team in the 2nd half. It was actually embarrassing to watch.  MOS's stupid decision, as stupid as it was, doesn't mean we gave up on a sure thing on 3rd and 4. No, this game is SQUARELY on our lousy pass rush and coverage. 

If we aren't turning the ball over we're letting teams steam roll us for hundreds of yards. That's not a recipe for success.

Ya but he's right. Sorry, if we didn't make it on 3rd and 4 you just shake your head at the blown lead and move on.

a 62 or 61 yard field goal? what a gift to the lions. what a gift.

I am disappointed but both the offence and defence just didn't do enough in the second half. Would I have gone for the four yards? Yes, but it should have never come down to that. Our run defence was brutal through the last four games and tonight. 

Despite this loss though I have to say it is hard to be upset with how the season turned out. This team is just a few players short of being a REALLY good team. With first pick and middle of the pack first pick we should be able to fill some holes. As long as we can lock down a decent QB we should be back to strongly challenge all the teams in the league. It would have been great to go on and beat Calgary next week but this season has been IMHO a massive step forward... Massive.

If our D didn't fold in the 2nd half we don't need to even try a 61 yard fg 

It wasn't even the second half, just the last of the 4th quarter. Lions receivers were wide open everywhere on those last 2 TD drives. The players are good enough, Ritchie Hall is a complete joke though.

Let people react. We've earned it. It will go away after a few days.
