00:00We had a guy calling earlier, and he was like, upset about two in-game decisions for Dan Campbell.
00:05He's like, he's not a good leader.
00:06I was like, wait, I'm sorry, what day is it? What's going on right now?
00:10One of his criti- TJ has a real call.
00:13One of his criticisms was a fourth and one, they didn't kick the field goal.
00:17It's like, I'm sorry, did you just drop down from a different planet?
00:19Were you under any other belief that they weren't going to go for it on a fourth and one?
00:23And to your point, situationally, let's say they go for it.
00:25This wasn't a 60-yard kick.
00:28It would have been like a 51, 52.
00:30And let's say Jake Bates makes it.
00:32You go from up two scores to up two scores.
00:36Where a first down may put the game away, and it's one yard.
00:39Like, of course they're going to go for it for one yard.
00:41The other criticism the guy had was that Dan burned a timeout, wasted a timeout,
00:45on a fourth and one that they ended up punting the ball anyway.
00:50They were up two scores.
00:51I mean, sure, I think it's, I would rather keep the timeout, all things being equal,
00:54but it's such a nitpicky, nonsense point in a game where they comfortably won.
01:00Yeah, and I mean, it's all about context in when the timeout happens,
01:04and you're up two scores at some point.
01:07And who knows what's going on on the sidelines in regards to,
01:10did they have 11 on the field?
01:11Did they possibly have 10? Did they have too many?
01:13You don't want to take a penalty in that situation.
01:15So you just make sure that you get things done right.
01:18And if you need a little extra time on a plate, so be it.
01:21I'm trying to remember what situation that was.
01:24What?
01:25Where Dan Campbell called a timeout on a fourth down?
01:27Yeah, it was.
01:28When was that?
01:29Fourth quarter.
01:30Yeah, it might have been.
01:31Yeah, it was their second to last drive.
01:33They had the ball at the Detroit 47.
01:34With like three minutes left?
01:36654 left on the clock.
01:39They punt the ball 46 yards down to the Arizona 7.
01:42Cardinals would drive down and kick a field goal.
01:44Lions put it away the next try.
01:45Okay, I gotcha.
01:46But you're also trying to eat clock there.
01:48You know what I mean?
01:48At that situation, hey, let's roll the clock down to...
01:52One second.
01:52Right.
01:53We're going to punt with 15 seconds in a two-score.
01:56You know, it ended up being a one-score game after that.
01:59But yeah, that situation.
02:00You're trying to bleed as much clock as you can.
02:02Burn a timeout.
02:03Okay, we're up two scores.
02:04And, you know, kicked the ball away.
02:07Yeah, that's...
02:08It was such a stupid, unnecessary phone call to make.
02:11Yeah.
02:11No, I'm with you.
02:13Well, people are high expectations now.
02:17So, you know, I think that's what it is.
02:20People...
02:20And TJ, we welcome that.
02:21That's fine.
02:22There are people that, you know, if this team doesn't score
02:25more than 35 points, or they don't win by more than three
02:27scores, or, you know, unfortunately, not happy enough.
02:31So last year, week three, the Lions scored 20 points in one.
02:36They beat Arizona...
02:36Or not Arizona.
02:37They beat Atlanta, 20 to 6.
02:40Two and one, would go on to win 12 games, win the division,
02:43two playoff games.
02:44Yeah, I mean, so basically, it's Kyle Ibarria got you a
02:46touchdown.
02:47He was greater than Desmond Ritter.
02:50They've helped serve with what they did a year ago.
02:51And if you're saying, well, they need to be better than
02:52they were a year ago, I would argue defensively, they look
02:54better than a year ago.
02:56Monday night will be a great measuring stick of, are they
02:59better than last year?
03:00Seattle has been that team that has had Detroit's number over
03:04the last couple of years.
