Sherman I was thinking about everything

you can think of I was just sitting

there going oh my God but they fell

completely apart they completely just

fell apart in the second half you think

about the first half and some of the

things that they were doing was just

amazing running the football they had

150 yards rushing in the first half 35

in the second half doesn't make a whole

lot of sense what you're up you're up

run the damn football man just run the

ball they can score seven just get three

you get three three all you you had an

opportunity to get six points in the

second half two field goals but no I'm

going to I'm going to

think like a player and not a coach

that's what Dan Campbell was doing

because we want to you know we want to

score we want to score touchdowns so

he's thinking like a player instead of

like a coach like you're you're within

minutes of ending this thing and going

to the Super Bowl as a head coach to the

Detroit sance instead we now have to

talk about you failing in making the San

Francisco 49ers just look amazing in the

second half the 49ers on every single

possession in the second half scored

points every single possession I don't

count the nil down at the end of the

Lions second half possessions in third

quarter they turn over on down San

Francisco 28 yd line they're up at that

point 24 to 10 they can go up 2017 could

could right easy then they fumble that

would have been a 46y field goal I'm

taking that though I'm taking that 46

yard field goal y then they fumble in

the third quarter then they punt three

and out then turnovers on Downs again

and you had a 48 yard field goal at that

point like if it it if you're in the

National Football League as a kicker and

you can't hit 40 plus field goals you

don't need to be in if you can't if you

can't trust your kicker to knock it down

in this situation on the road you need

points I don't understand what Dan was

doing for the life of me I just oh well

I mean what are you gonna say right I

mean at the end of the day you got to

give it to the 49ers they finally did

Richard what I've been asking to do give

me double double digit deficit come from

him no they did it this isn't four

points against Green Bay they actually

did it right what we've been asking for

Brock per and Company cashed in they're

on their way to the Super Bowl hats off

to him I just so mad oh I'm so mad yeah

I know I'm mad so so what I told what I

told you guys from the beginning was

Brock py was legitimate I heard

arguments I heard fussy I heard he got

to do more he got to do this he got to

do that it was frustrating it was

annoying but he continues to do it and

and this time he said you know what Kean

I'mma show you I'mma show you I'mma let

my team get down 177 I don't down 17 now

stop that let me finish let me let me

finish let me finish my point cuz Hey

cuz you said he went to the fourth

quarter down seven last week and you

said that's not enough that's just seven

points it's easy to come back from seven

points that don't make him good so he

said let me go ahead and show you I come

back from 17 and take my team on a drive

after drive after drive after Drive

I'mma do it to kiddo IU Kyle huge caught

a big p uh big pass early in the game he

did it to mcaffrey Jawan Jennings

everybody had a part in it but guess

what whose legs he kind of looked like a

kind of looked like a guy who could do

it all kind of ordeal he was a guy who

did it with his legs and his arm he kind

of looked like an elite quarterback of

sorts you know I mean I'm sure if we

dressed him up differently and put a

different costume on him we talk about

him differently you know we we we I'm

hearing skip try to try to twist himself

backwards to defend Lamar and try to

make Lamar's mistakes look more minimal

than they were but then I then I hear

them talk about Brock pie like oh my God

he just had a good second half well

Patrick Mahomes had 69 yards in the

second half and so he had one good half

and he had one bad half but then when

Brock py has an unbelievable half I just

hear the diminishing of it now I don't

really like that but the San Francisco

49ers made great adjustments you got to

give Steve wils a lot of credit they

were they were getting gashed in the

first half they were getting bullied in

the first half that offensive line for

Detroit manhandled them a lot in that

first half their defense made incredible

plays in that first half and then in the

second half adjustments happened

Championship medal happened Championship

resolve skip this may not be something

that you're familiar with your team

isn't involved in these kind of games so

you don't you don't you don't make it

here when you talk about championship

Super Bowl wins that's all five and and

and I and I I don't the internet wasn't

Bor and I think I was barely alive you

know what I mean I don't even remember

those years but when you talk about when

you talk about the yeah I would have to

look it up it's because it's history but

I'm talking about resolve this is

Championship medal and Brock pie was at

the helm he didn't Panic Kyle Shanahan

did not panic he made the plays that

were there when the pockets collapsed he

ran the ball when the when when he

needed a pass he made a pass there was a

play that fourth and two that Detroit

went for and you you showed the clip

multiple times I thought that they would

run the ball I thought they were

averaging six yards a pop running the

ball I thought they would run the ball

on fourth and two I I I I guarantee you

at the San Francisco 49ers when they saw

him line up in gun and say hey we're

going to pass this ball they took a

side I mean thanks appreciate that Josh

Reynolds have caught the throw from

Jared G have caught the throat skip skip

I don't I'm not in like you I I don't I

I I don't play like I don't play that

wait no I want to know drop drop or not

drop or not it's an incompletion it's a

turn it's a it's a turnover on down skip

you you have to catch it's a turnover on

down

Skip it's kind of like that Lamar play

that you were pretty excited about when

a guy missed a sack but I didn't say if

he would have had that sack then Lamar

wouldn't even had a touchdown in the

first half I didn't have to say that

because you know what happened he missed

the sack and Lamar had a touchdown

that's what actually happens I don't

have to do so Richard help me out on

this Brock py throw it came with 629

left in the third quarter and it turned

out to be a 51 yard completion help me

out what happened that's what it sounds

like yeah 51 yard a 51 y completion all

you have to do a 50

ISAT comption the face is what is what

it was a 51 y it's an interception and

it turns into a 51 yard completion are

you kidding what you wanted to be and

versus what it is Skip it's almost like

you thought the Dallas Cowboys were in

the game you're probably sting there

like the Dallas Cowboys was that a lucky

play should it have

been second interception second it

should have been 51 yard completion like

it was skip you you see you see the

difference skip I don't have to talk

about what is Mas I can tell you what

what happened okay Richard I can tell

you what happened Skip it's just an easy

day it's F if he does what he's supposed

to do as a highly paid professional if

he just catches the football then guess

what the score is still 24- 10 lions and

they got the ball going the other way

even if you don't catch it batted I hear

about if

I don't want to hear you just B

it I don't want to hear why why why when

you talking about the San Francisco 49

you give so many if scenarios what if

what if Lamar Jackson would have got

sacked on the first touchdown of the

game oh what if he would have got sacked

on that play his grassp because because

I'm tired of ifs because I am tired of

ifs from you guys I'm tired of it what

happened it was a 51 Y game it was a 51

Y game break the dam yes it it was a

yard

completion to all we trying to say is

Josh Reynold should have caught that

ball come on that that the fourth and

two you supposed to hold on one sec rich

though on Fourth and two in the NFC

Championship Game everything is on the

line dog you got to catch that you just

do that's that's that was I don't care

what you're talking about he didn't

catch it but it was a hand off so why

are we sitting here talking about it why

are we sit

talking what actually happened we're

trying to analyze how San Francisco was

able to win the game in the second half

that's all we doing man that's all and

so let's talk about what San Francisco

did not not what if if he would have

caught that he would did actually

happened said Steve Christian mcaffry

ran the ball really well you said sto

the Run they stopped the run you said

Steve

W rushing yards in a second they stopped

running the ball they stopped why did

they stop they stopped playing the ball

because they were getting stopped they

were getting stopped not to the level

you just completely abandon the Run not

forfeit two they elected to throw if

Josh Reynolds makes that catch they get

another set of downs they moving forward

it didn't happen we understand that if

the defensive back if the defensive back

decides that he wants to catch the

football instead of allowing and tipping

to Brandon auk by the way who made a

hell of a catch in concentration and not

giving up on the play did you tap your

hat off to that if you catch that as a

Defender we not even having this

conversation that's all we're saying but

we are we we shouldn't be having a

conversation because it didn't happen so

let's just talk about what did happen we

could have a conversation about things

that actually happened in game we talk

about after the game he he said live on

Fox he said a ladybug landed on my shoe

before the game and you know what that

means it means something Lu know exactly

what that means lucky and it they won

the game going to the Super

Bowl we understand we just want to

analyze it man can we at least do that

can you let us analyze it analyzing the

full game you're analyzing the wh ifs

the wh ifs you're not analyzing the what

is so they they got stopped in the they

stopped running the ball because they

didn't have success

here's the regular season the Detroit

Lions were 23rd in the league in points

allowed so what happened in the second

half was not all that shocking because

it should have happened in the first

half they should have moved the ball a

lot better than they did but they were

allowing 148 yards rushing in the first

half which is more than K Kyle Shanahan

team has ever allowed in his seven years

in a full game they gave up 148 in the

first half and then to kean's point for

some reason they said I guess we got to

throw it to hold on to our lead they

just panicked in the second half and the

sky fell on them because they're not

very good on defense to start with they

weren't all year yeah but they didn't

help their offense didn't help their

defense in the second half that was part

of the problem the defense and Aaron

Glendon played extremely well in the

first half yes that could have been an

interception by Brock P but it wasn't it

was a a completion and when you look at

the situation if Josh R just catch the

football or if you decide to kick a

field goal you had six points that you

left on the field in the second half if

you get those six points maybe the game

is different maybe they're calling it

different they're looking at it

different at that point in time it

didn't happen San Francisco just

deserves to be in the Super Bowl because

they stayed the course they didn't Panic

they stayed the course and as they

continued to mount points up they kept

looking at the scoreboard and said oh we

gonna catch these dudes we gonna catch

these dudes or we caught them now we're

going to pass them and they passed them

it's nothing taken away from San

Francisco all we trying to do is look at

both sides of the equation that's all

that's all we trying to do I and I and I

hear that but both sides are Detroit

played a really good first half we can

talk about exactly what they did they

read the ball incredibly jir Gibbs

looked like he was on another level

there were third down conversions that

were unbelievable by Jared G jir Gibbs

convered a third and 12 where it just

looked like he was way faster than

everybody on the field and then skip I

love when skip gets overconfident

because you see it in his tweets you see

him get on Twitter and he's Twitter

finger in his way out cuz he think oh

come on Skip it's my pleasure because

then I get to get on this show and

correct you I I just appreciate it cuz

it just just brings me so much joy when

you build up just to get the the the

floor let out from under you and it

crashes and burns and I got to say skip

you said jir Gibbs over Christian

mcaffrey and I wanted to send somebody

to your house to drug test you and again

but these your your takes your takes

your takes age like milk in the desert

skip because you said the same thing

last year about Tony par Tony's way

better than Christian mcaffrey oh God

Tony I would take Tony p over well you

are the only one Skip and that's a

reason why you don't number one do

remember that why are we talking about

the Dallas cup Dallas cringy number one

because because huh because skip skip

Dallas is in the Super Bowl skip right

playing a

Ravens this was your prediction Dallas

is playing the Ravens and Dallas was

skip Bailey that's

why
