Ron just staked his career (and potentially the season) on that playcall

Gano is one of the highest paid kickers in the league.

There's no reason we should be forced to gambling the entire game on a 2 point conversion.

This loss was on the defense and our kicker.

I’d be saying that we just put the Lions into 4 down territory with over a minute to play. With our horrendous defense, that’s the last thing we need. Had there have been 20 or fewer seconds left in the game, going for 2 is the perfect decision. Doing it while Detroit still has time and multiple timeouts is ridiculous

 

trust me, I’m under the belief teams generally shouldn’t punt with under 4 yards to go, and should regularly go for 2, but there are instances in which it’s a terrible decision. Whether we converted or not, this was one of them.

Detroit is playing at home and had all 3 timeouts, they would have been driving to get into FG range for the win anyway, especially with a kicker like Prater.

I love Cam but damn thats the second game this year we lost because of a Cam overthrow.

Why didn’t they just run Cam, he’s unstoppable in short yardage

Exactly what I said before the snap

What would you be saying if that play was executed perfectly and the conversion was made? 

 

“Why the hell did we do it because the defense can’t stop anyone this year”

[countryboi]

take the easy points, either way the lions need to drive down the field for a field goal. so why go for 2?

Stupid call

not putting the loss on Cam because that drive should have been for the go ahead TD anyway but if he doesnt airmail that pass we win

Fug you. "Not putting the loss on Cam" but you'll sure hang it on a kicker.

If you need a FG to beat the Lions today, your team has bigger problems than the kicker.

They won't fire him , he'll blame it on the weather and missed opportunities

More so than anything else.

It's time to move on from Rivera.   It's just time.     He's been mediocre for years and a lot of us knew this back then but finally, everyone is now waking up.   You don't keep coaches forever.     He's sucked the life out of this team and the fans.

People here complain when Ron isn’t Riverboat Ron and then complain when he is and it doesn’t work out. 

The 2 pt was the right call and Cam just made a bad throw.

2-points was the right call. It just didn't work out in execution. Blame Gano for being poop all game, or Cam for the overthrow. 

I rarely defend Rivera but this wasn't a bad call.

LOL, it might be the worst call he has ever made. 

[pantherphan96]

Butker is 16/17 this year with one miss (from 50+) and is paid 3 million less this year than Gano

[KillerKat]

Yeah I see us losing to the Hawks, Browns, and swept by Saints. 8-8 season and hopefully new head coach.
