Playoff Victory - Postgame Thread

I like going for it on 4th down when we convert them. I don't like going for it on 4th down when we don't convert them.

Too early for a Lions pre-game thread? I really hope Lattimore on an island vs. St. Brown is not part of the game plan next week.

I have no issue with going for it on 4th, given our pattern of success and the fact we don't have a 100% trusted kicker. I just have an issue with a couple of those calls. The Sneak with Mariota was a good call given teh down and distance. A nice wrinkle having JD out there; I actually thought they were going to throw to him on the second one (maybe they were with the right coverage?). But of the 2 we failed, one was a terrible play. At this point, even if you are re-using a play that worked before, go with something you have 100% confidence in. Occasionally I think KK out coaches himself!

I don't like going empty-backfield when you only need 2 yards. Gotta at least threaten the run.

So I didn't love the decision to not take the 3, but I mainly did not like the play call. The rest of them, I didn't mind the decisions or calls. Just that 1st one.

Even with going empty Daniels is the run threat
