If you watched Lions games or knew anything about Bagdley, you would know why MC/DC went for it. Lions success rate on 4th is better than Bagdley's kicks from the distances needed by double digits percentage points.

The Lions were literally at 80% conversion on fourth down this year (20 out of 25), which is a staggering conversion rate, so I cannot fault the coach for going for it. It's not like it was 4th and 23 each time. They were all manageable distances but they just didn't convert.
I would have preferred a Lions/Ravens SB, just because the Lions had never been there. Maybe they will get there next year.

Campbell was really honest about this, " you may not ever get back there".
Look at Joe Burrow when the Bengals had that run a couple of years ago, they added some help to protect Burrow and did not lose any big players and they still took a step back from playoff success. There shot may have passed them up now.
I can't stand the Chiefs and have no interest in the 49ers. I'm so tired of seeing Maholmes, Travis Swift and the annoying hanger-on-ers that are constantly being show in the luxury boxes cheering them on.
I was hoping to see the Lions in the Superbowl but they choked a big lead and blew it. Dan Campbell should have taken those points in the 3rd instead of playing hero ball. Once they failed to convert on the 4th down conversion the momentum completely shifted. Not to mention that bum wide receiver dropped two crucial passes. Way to go Lions.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
Don't watch.
But you will.
Chiefs just beat the 2 hottest teams in the AFC ON THE ROAD and we have to hear whining about Taylor Swift which they briefly showed 3-4 times during a monster Kelce game? Boo freakin' Hoo.
Unless my home team is involved, I tend to root for big comebacks and underdogs. That's kind of what we got yesterday.
But I agree that the result won't be half as interesting as a couple new entries.
I was rooting for the Lions for their long suffering fan base, but to dismiss Purdy in the same sentence with rooting for underdogs....I think you are missing something.

Yep, but he can't help himself. I called him out earlier in the year for his moronic call to go for a 2 pt conversion when the Lions got pushed backed to the 7 vs Dallas and knew he'd pull another dumb move in a big game and this one cost him. You can only play that game so long and at some point it will bite you in the arse. The Niners defense came out hot in the 2nd half. The proper thing to do was kick the FG, but Dan Campbellytic just can't do that.
WELP, once again, we have a SUPER BOWL REMATCH (I get to say Super Bowl Rematch one last time this season)
Now this year, we reserved seats at the BAR of our favorite sports bar restaurant and will enjoy all you can eat food, drinks and seeing the CHEFS and the 49ers
The 49ers are a physical smash mouth team. You cannot just bump the running backs and have them go down like in a pro bowl game. You have to hit hard and be persistent Brock Purdy is a good passer
Then there is Andy Reid, Patrick Mahommes and Taylor Swift's Boyfriend on the Chiefs who ALWAYS seem to find a way to win
So Yes, it is going to be a good game.
And even better because there are no Patriots, Buffaloes, Bears, Chargers, Cowboys or Buccaneers involved in it.

You read too quickly. I said "comebacks and underdogs." SF had a big comeback.
