kesan Johnson picked the Lions to upset
the 49ers and at halftime he was sitting
pretty as the lions were shocking the
49ers 24 to7 then 27 straight 49er
points happened Lions wound up trailing
34 to 24 and losing
34-31 kesan what happened in the second
have no I have no idea skip I was
sitting pretty I was I was oh man I felt
so good I I was thinking about Richard
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
game it just it it made zero sense 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
behind they did it they can't argue with
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
yeah they should have been according to
skip Bailey that's
why
