So did Campbell.

I thought he should go for it before half on 4th and goal. Once he decided to kick a field goal I knew he was playing the number/points game (which is safe). I reluctantly agreed and just figured that was his plan.
Then he decides to go on 4th down and pass up a FG in the 2nd half to tie.
It appeared he was was changing his approach. I was like WTH? He demonstrated he was sorta like Les Miles. No real strategy, just rolling with instincts which can be deadly in the NFL.

Love that these takes just completely disregard the possibility of a missed kick. Do you think the bills fans and packers fans wish they had gone for it on fourth down trailing by 3 points late against the chiefs and niners respectively? Both kickers missed FGs shorter than 48 yards to tie the game, effectively ending it. And you lose the game without Josh Allen on the field or without Lafleur calling a play.
I actually think I would’ve kicked if I was Campbell but the arguments being made on here are logically absurd.

The Lions were 17/22 converting 4th and 3 or less, including the playoffs.
Badgley is among the worst kickers in history from 48+
Part of a coaches strategy/job is to leverage his best players given the situation. They don't have Justin Tucker.
As I said, right decision.

It feels like whenever the announcers reference "the analytics" the desired outcome is never achieved. So I'm wondering where all these successful attempts are that say "go for it here".

likely that you have selective memory in those scenarios. As we usually don't give it a second thought when it works

True but you also have to consider that Reynolds is at least #6 on the depth chart of Lions players that should be getting the ball on a critical down. Bad players will inevitably be bad

Also, isn't it part of a coaches job to get a kicker that can accurately hit a field goal of more than 48yds? If the kicker is that bad, why keep him on the team. If any other player performed at that level of bad, would the coach still keep that player?

Detroit fans prayed to God for a win all week.
Then they ask God why they lost
God replies “You never specified Lions you said Detroit and I let the last place Pistons beat the first place Thunder”.

He is retarded but that's why his team loves him. Live by the sword, die by the sword. What he was doing got him this far.
What if he did play more safe and they still lost? Then he gets criticism from the fans for losing his testicular fortitude, and he loses the respect of his team who'll think he got scared when the lights were the brightest.

everyone gets up in arms when coaches play it too conservative but we're happy to call them retards when they take chances and it fails
In both instances, going for it made sense. The first, proper call was made dude just dropped it. Playoff game in a hostile environment, I get wanting to stomp on their throat before the inevitable onslaught comes. The second, if the kicker misses everyone is killing Campbell for assuming a 48 yard FG is a gimme with a dude that doesn't have that kind of distance....playing dominantly in a dome.
The play that probably has the biggest % of loss blame is the Gibbs' fumble.

Yes, it was worth something like 5.3 points.
I would have kicked the FG the first 4th down decision but I have no idea how reliable Badgely is. If he sucks that's a different convo, you really need a reliable kicker this deep in the playoffs. Regardless I don't think its a decision that is worth killing anyone over.

Need to add the notoriously lumpy and slick turf at Levi’s Stadium that has caused problems for even elite kickers like Justin Tucker in the past.
The Packers also missed a crucial 41-yd FG just last week.
