1) Going for it on 4th down instead of kicking the field goal. considering they lost by 3 points, it needed to be brought up.
2) The fumble by Gibbs. Can't happen. It cost your team 7 points.
3) The bad throw by Purdy that goes off a Lion defender and luckily caught by Aiyuk. **** happens. I get it. Horrible break that cost you another 7 points.
49ers should feel very fortunate today. I didn't even include the 4 drops by the Lions in the game. 3 of them were just awful, especially the 2 by Josh Reynolds.Regardless, Lions covered so in that department all things went well for me.
For point #3, it was a pass interference on the DB anyway. So it would've been Niners ball on the 8 yard line. Wasn't a bad pass, the DB just impeded Aiyuk and got flagged for it.
Otherwise, I agree.
Officials after that play picked up the flag and said there was no penalty. That was the official ruling.
