00:00 Let's talk about why the Niners won this game.
00:02 Oh, I'm sorry.
00:04 You're good.
00:05 How you doing, man?
00:06 Why the Niners won this game.
00:09 Reason number one,
00:11 they're better than the Lions.
00:13 That's the first reason.
00:15 Game never really should have been this close.
00:17 The Niners had the wrong game plan on offense and defense,
00:19 which has been a theme for them,
00:20 but they made the halftime adjustments.
00:21 Another reason they won this game.
00:24 Brock Purdy can move and Jared Goff freaking can't.
00:27 That's important.
00:28 I don't think it's really hard to win this deep in the playoffs
00:32 with the quarterback who's a complete statue.
00:34 Jared Goff, God love him.
00:36 He did the best he could but he can't move.
00:37 Brock Purdy can.
00:39 And then number three, Dan Campbell.
00:42 We're not here to talk about the Lions.
00:45 Real quick.
00:46 What was he doing?
00:47 He was up.
00:49 What was it?
00:51 17?
00:53 Was he up 10?
00:54 He had an opportunity.
00:55 He was up, opportunity to kick a field goal, went for two,
00:58 went for it on fourth down, didn't get it.
01:00 So we're not here to talk about him,
01:03 but like you see an overrated coach who's hyped up because of
01:08 what?
01:09 Because he talks about biting kneecaps and going for it on
01:11 fourth down and he loses the game for the Lions.
01:14 Shout out to Kyle Shanahan for not doing that.
01:17 I mean, Kyle's been the guy that we've been on for years
01:20 saying like, man, you find ways to lose in the biggest games.
01:22 He didn't.
01:23 His game plan wasn't so great.
01:26 He made an adjustment.
01:27 Dan Campbell found a way to lose.
01:28 So in a game, the Niners won by three points.
01:32 Dan Campbell took six points off the board.
01:35 He went for, he went for it on fourth down twice in field goal
01:41 range.
01:41 Now the Niners missed the field goal as well, but the Lions
01:45 were driving down the field at the end down 10.
01:48 If Dan Campbell had just not done that, they would have been
01:51 down seven or four.
01:53 So once again, you got to admit the Niners escaped Levi's
01:59 Stadium with the win two weeks in a row.
02:01 Who cares?
02:02 Better to be lucky than good.
02:04 But man, the Niners really haven't played their best in
02:08 months and they played well enough to beat the Lions.
02:12 But now they're going to have to play the Chiefs who are way
02:15 better than the Lions.
02:16 We're going to talk about the Chiefs at the end.
02:18 But why did the Niners win this game?
02:22 Because the Lions gave it away.
02:24 Now the Niners get ultimate credit for running them down
02:28 and making the comeback.
02:29 But man, the Lions had a running back average more than six
02:32 yards to carry.
02:33 And they didn't feed him the whole night.
02:35 They kept giving the ball to the other guy who fumbled.
02:38 You got a running back who's averaging six yards to carry
02:40 maybe stick with him.
02:41 They called flea flicker.
02:43 Like what the hell were the Lions doing?
02:45 Really nice to see an over an overrated team get exposed.
02:48 That team's not going anywhere.
02:50 They're going to lose their offensive coordinator.
02:52 Dan Campbell's going to be exposed.
02:54 He's Nick Sirianni with a goatee and muscles.
02:59 So I actually hope the Packers are better.
03:03 I mean, Jared Goff isn't that good.
03:07 Matt LaFleur's a better coach than Dan Campbell.
03:10 Two weeks in a row the Niners escape, get kind of lucky.
03:14 They made it to the NFC.
03:15 Now they got to go face the Chiefs.
