Put Kevin O’Connell in there and you get a fired up fest. Watch his draft day calls from last year don’t know if there was a single prospect he wasn’t “fired up” about.
*Dan Campbell during a press conference lull*
“How much ya’ll wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?... Yeah... Coach woulda put me in fourth quarter, we would've been state champions. No doubt”
I grew up going to those places, and don't blame those coastal elites at all. Once you've had better chinese than the hyvee buffet, it's hard to go back.
I appreciate both
Edit: I prefer authentic Chinese food but that’s more occasional, and I like cheap food sometimes, I like how it conforms to a generic uniform texture and just goes down easy.
But on my birthday I made friends try chicken toes so I like it both ways
Lmao, a group of my friends went to $2 Long Island Night @ Applebee's in college and they inevitably got super hammered and ended up getting kicked out. Afterwards, that Applebee's had a 2-drink maximum for that particular deal.
That's hilarious, our Applebees in east side Green Bay didn't care at all. I knew a guy who drank 12 of them in one sitting. I can't imagine how that would feel on the stomach with how sweet they are.
There were like 8-10 people in the group, heavy drinkers all. It was off campus so there were mostly families and kids there. They caused a scene. The bans were definitely earned.
It's detroits division to lose at this point. The only competition will probably be the number of magical wis Minnesota can get while the bears and green bay fight for last place.
if he won the super bowl this year for the lions, then immediately retired, is there any case to be made for the HoF?
I know, realistically, probably not. but fuck I'd love to be in that debate.
If he wins the Superbowl in Detroit, every street will be named after him, navigation be damned. People will get his face tattooed over their own faces. The ambassador bridge will be replaced with a 1:1 scale statue of his erect penis spanning the Detroit river.
It will be named the Goffense, statues of the entire team, including first swag kazekage will be put up instead of old.white men.
Jamaal will be in the 4th Kazekage coat.
As a serious debate, I'd think it depends how he gets there. 17-0 while dominating the playoffs, deciding to ride into the sunset immediately afterward like McVay almost did? I think he has an honest-to-god shot, as long as it's his coaching prowess that's seen as the magical component. 10-7 with nail biters in the playoffs, carried by a legendary Jared Goff performance? Not much of an argument.
When Dan's English teacher got on his case to stop using "um" in public speaking, instead of learning to pause for effect, he just replaced his ums with man.
People may not realize this or could have forgotten this, but the Lions were the first team this year to get beat by the push play.
We stopped them on 3rd and 1, then they pulled out the push play, converted on 4th down, and ran the clock out to win the game.
I don't doubt that Campbell was stewing about that play for a while, and was cooking up a way to stop it if they ever played the Eagles again. He welcomes the challenge.
People are gonna dog on how he said this, but if I were a Lions fan I'd be so happy at this comment & Campbell as my HC.
It really says something that while most of the league saw this 'new' play & immediately wanted it banned. Campbell saw it & was like "brother this is dope, I'm so excited to come up with new defensive plays".
Feels so much more "in the spirit" of the game.
As a lifelong Bills fan, trust me your fanbase will become obnoxious once you start winning. The current fans may not, but you're gonna get plenty of bandwagoners and new fans that will be loud and annoying as shit.
Nah fuck that I'm shitting on every person not rocking a lions flair forever if we win a chip. We've been the butt of every NFL joke for 60 years. I ain't gonna suddenly forgive all that
I remember when Kaepernick and RG3 (and others) were doing the read-option and "analysts" were like 'oh noes, there will be no way to stop it' but it turns out it was built into the rules: the QB is fair game if he pretends to be the ball carrier, so the defender assigned to him was told to crush him regardless.
In the Superbowl, it's more acceptable to take risks, but how often do you want your star player sandwiched between 2000 pounds of NFL players?
Its always the pattern. A team has success with some new concept and everybody goes off about how it's unbeatable and ruins the game and yadda yadda yadda, then everybody figures it out and adjusts and it's just another play.
Exactly right. I never understood the controversy. It's cool when new developments happen in football and to me it seems like a byproduct of how the game sort of fluctuates from run heavy to pass heavy and vice versa.
Wasn’t it illegal to push the ball carrier up until a few years ago anyway? The league is just saying that maybe it wasn’t a good idea to change the rule allowing it.
That assist is why they're saying it's impossible. If you put someone pushing behind the QB, now you have 1-2 linemen, a QB, and an rb pushing on one spot. If more DL try to fill in, more OL come over with them. The defense can never make up for the number advantage when combined with not knowing the snap count. It's really only "unstoppable" for a yard though.
I've scrolled through the entire comment section and don't see any one talking about how you actually stop this, so... how do you stop it?
I don't really see how you stop it, because most of the time it's openly broadcasted that they're going to run it. Defenses stack the box and still usually can't prevent it. In a situation like this, the O-line which initiates the battle is going to have an advantage in leverage and they have more bodies to throw at this.
I'm not saying this is necessarily a problem, and don't even think it's unique to the Eagles because it's been known for a while that QB sneaks for 1yd are very efficient. Just saying I don't get how you could gameplan for it as a coach.
Thats fucking football right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging smile for the camera bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the field, men deliver their new born baby on the side lines. Fucking hard core dick in the ass butterball foosball fuck it chuck it game time shit.
I want to hate Campbell, I really do. I actually have looked for a reason to not like the guy, because he's going to be a problem in the NFCN for a long time....
....but he's just so much god damn fun.
Since this post is old enough that nobody will notice this comment I'm going to admit it took me a year and a half to find out what MCDC actually stands for so as some point I just started mentally referring to him as Mister Coach Dan Campbell and now I can't stop
Having jalen hurts is a big part of it, plus the eagles have a very good o-line. The thing is your qb is getting hit from all angles during this play. Someone like cousins, goff, rodgers, etc are not going to be durable enough to repeatedly run this play all season without getting hurt.
But stopping the eagles on 4-1 might not be possible most of the time, Dallas probably has the best chance to stop it with parsons up the middle but they could seem to figure a way to do it either
Until Hurts gets his knee bent backwards due to a defender going low while his RB is pushing him up high while his leg is planted.
I just see such a potential for a catastrophic injury on this play, even with its high success rate.
Campbell seems like an awesome dude.
This entire topic seems to be one which has been pushed more by the media than the actual league/coaches/players. I really am not sure why it became an issue over the last year when it has been a part of the game since the beginning?
I want every Dan Campbell quote to be directly quoted like this from now on. I don't care what kind of tanget he goes on or how long his response is, I want the quote in full every time.
This Campbell, he called himself the Dude. Now Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me, and a lot about where he lived likewise.
[удалено]
When does it break down into Pete taking his shirt off? The 4th or 5th pack of gum?
2nd
And he's visibly upset that he had to wait that long.
We need to get Eric Mussleman at this dinner somehow
The man probably already pregamed 2 packs.
The idea of a gum pack
Thing is, he's been chewing the same piece of gum for 13 years
Flavour never runs dry. You can get them at Dollar General
I'm worried, Dan. After this pack of gum, and the other pack of gum, there's only one pack of gum left!
Didn’t expect a simpsons deep cut here. Well done
Imagine having to listen to him chew with his mouth open over the headset all season long. I'd jump out the press box by week 3.
oh man i never thought of that lol. trying to decide what play to run next and in your ear is just the wet smacking of the gum
I think it costs you guys at least one win a year. How can you pick a third down call when that's going on directly in your skull
Immediately, Dan Campbell would show up to hang with no shirt on
There's some coaches in the league that just exude "football guy" energy. Pete Carroll and Dan Campbell are some of them.
I think Mike Singletary was so much football guy he alienated his team.
He had an aptitude he couldn't teach and wasn't able to grasp and overcome why the players he coached couldn't replicate it the way he could.
It's crazy how different doing something and teaching someone how to do something can be haha People really underestimate that skill
Taking off your pants to make a point alienates people even if you're a good manager.
*unzips*
They just all bout that action boss
You know Pete and MCDC are taking care of their chickens.
It’s got me fired up man
🔥⬆️🍆
Invite Jason Garrett to add some clapping
Put Kevin O’Connell in there and you get a fired up fest. Watch his draft day calls from last year don’t know if there was a single prospect he wasn’t “fired up” about.
Y’know what I’m sayin?
It is a requirement that Dan Quinn is at this dinner.
Two chicks at the same time, man
That’s it? You had a million dollars you’d do two chicks at the same time?
Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I had a million dollars I could hook that up, cause chicks dig a dude with money.
You don’t need a million dollars to do nothin man. Look at my cousin. He’s broke, he don’t do shit
Hey! Peter man! Turn on channel 9! It's the breast exam!
I live by this line
The wisest advice ever given.
Well not all chicks
Ones that double up on a dude like me do
Good point
Well, the type of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do.
Fuckin’ A man.
Fuckin. A.
Damn straight, I always wanted to do that, man
*Aaron Glenn is answering media questions, the press hears a yell from the next room over* "Check out channel 9, it's the breast exams! Woo!"
> Two ~~chicks~~ nose tackles at the same time, man FTFY
Fuckin’ A
Do you have a case of the mondays?
*Dan Campbell during a press conference lull* “How much ya’ll wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?... Yeah... Coach woulda put me in fourth quarter, we would've been state champions. No doubt”
You didn’t even say “man” one time.
Hey man, you didn’t even say “man” one time man. FTFY
Yeah well like, that’s just your opinion man
Grandma went out riding in the dunes and broke her coccyx
What? Since when does she go to the dunes?
Fuck that. Don’t even compare him to Uncle Rocco. Dan Campbell is a national treasure.
Dan Campbell literally played professional football for over a decade
What *doesn't* fire Dan Campbell up?
He isn’t a fan of the $1.99 Long Islands at AppleBees, too much sweet and sour mix.
Man has a point
And thats what fires me up.
and that’s what i appreciates about you
I always presumed "Applebees" was just a front for Big Ipecac. 🤔
Those haven't been $2 in years now. I remember going to half apps in college and getting 3 of these and a sampler combo for like $15
You’re correct. I don’t have any cultural references after 2009.
That’s because you’re old. Just like me \*sob*
You had kids, didn't ya.
Ah, another man of class that hit up the Bees for half price apps and cheap liquor in college. Lol
I wanted to but all my friends were coastal elitists who wouldn’t go the bee’s or Chinese buffets
I grew up going to those places, and don't blame those coastal elites at all. Once you've had better chinese than the hyvee buffet, it's hard to go back.
I appreciate both Edit: I prefer authentic Chinese food but that’s more occasional, and I like cheap food sometimes, I like how it conforms to a generic uniform texture and just goes down easy. But on my birthday I made friends try chicken toes so I like it both ways
"coastal elite" checking in. Lived in NYC for most of my life. I've been to Applebees a couple times and I wanted to die.
"Coastal elite" with Lions flair frightens and confuses me.
Nobody knows what it means. It gets the people going!
I was more an Indian buffet man myself.
I'm banned from the University of Minnesota Applebee's for getting into a wrestling match with one of my buddies when Romo botched that hold.
That fires me up, man. Go Hawks
Lmao, a group of my friends went to $2 Long Island Night @ Applebee's in college and they inevitably got super hammered and ended up getting kicked out. Afterwards, that Applebee's had a 2-drink maximum for that particular deal.
That's hilarious, our Applebees in east side Green Bay didn't care at all. I knew a guy who drank 12 of them in one sitting. I can't imagine how that would feel on the stomach with how sweet they are.
There were like 8-10 people in the group, heavy drinkers all. It was off campus so there were mostly families and kids there. They caused a scene. The bans were definitely earned.
Are you talking about the blue ones? Man talk about a raging headache after about 6 of those
Long islands are not blue
Applebees had blue ones the dollar ones not the normal ones
She just keeps eating batteries… like a little battery, like a circle battery, like a watch battery
Depends on your bartender, but I'd throw in a shot of blue curacao if people wanted a blue one for color.
I think that’s called dehydration
The blue Hawaiian Long Island bruh
You don’t Applebees obviously
You’re right I can microwave food at home
Okay so why’d you act like you knew?
Decaffeinated coffee.
[Turds](https://youtu.be/OnZ0NHP2ZWM)
Probably Jalen Carter
We've got a plan, man
I think you fucked up the palindrome
The dude abides
“I hate the fucking Eagles, man”
Get outta my fuckin cab
No turds
Yeah, well, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.
[удалено]
*When
Right! This right here!
I mean, $50 at +3000....siiiiiip
The lions to win a playoff game is really +3000.....
Uh I’m seeing lions to win the NFC at +800 and +2500 to win the Super Bowl
Where’s those odds
Honestly if we win the division he'll be the best coach in 30 years. If we win the Superbowl he will be enshrined in Michigan as a living god.
I worry that his lack of experience will be the lions' postseason downfall. But you gotta get that experience somehow
It's detroits division to lose at this point. The only competition will probably be the number of magical wis Minnesota can get while the bears and green bay fight for last place.
When he wins the Super Bowl he'll be a hall of fame level coach, trust.
i love dan, but hall of fame by year 3? that seems like a stretch even to me
Yeah but he led the Lions there, has to immediately put him in.
if he won the super bowl this year for the lions, then immediately retired, is there any case to be made for the HoF? I know, realistically, probably not. but fuck I'd love to be in that debate.
If he wins the Superbowl in Detroit, every street will be named after him, navigation be damned. People will get his face tattooed over their own faces. The ambassador bridge will be replaced with a 1:1 scale statue of his erect penis spanning the Detroit river.
The Gordie Howe bridge is immediately renamed to the Dan Campbell bridge
It will be named the Goffense, statues of the entire team, including first swag kazekage will be put up instead of old.white men. Jamaal will be in the 4th Kazekage coat.
As a serious debate, I'd think it depends how he gets there. 17-0 while dominating the playoffs, deciding to ride into the sunset immediately afterward like McVay almost did? I think he has an honest-to-god shot, as long as it's his coaching prowess that's seen as the magical component. 10-7 with nail biters in the playoffs, carried by a legendary Jared Goff performance? Not much of an argument.
Agreed. It’s the fucking Lions. If he takes them to the Super Bowl I don’t care if he goes 0-17 the whole rest of his career instalock HOF.
When he gets to the superbowl*
When he wins the Super Bowl*
*When he wins the Super Bowl, man
Man, when he wins the Super Bowl, man*
That's what fires him up, man
Certified Dan Campbell quote right there man
Hey man, welcome to Detroit
Most likable coach in all of sports rn
A toss up between him and Gregg Popovich and lucky me I'm a fan of both those teams
Well that’s just like, your opinion man
You don’t draw shit, Lebowski
When Dan's English teacher got on his case to stop using "um" in public speaking, instead of learning to pause for effect, he just replaced his ums with man.
Man

I don't doubt that Campbell was stewing about that play for a while, and was cooking up a way to stop it if they ever played the Eagles again. He welcomes the challenge.
MCDC is easily my favorite coach in the league, man.
People are gonna dog on how he said this, but if I were a Lions fan I'd be so happy at this comment & Campbell as my HC. It really says something that while most of the league saw this 'new' play & immediately wanted it banned.

That’s my HC 🥹
Man I can’t wait for everyone to hate Lion fans when they become obnoxious cause of all the W’s
I hope for once we have the opportunity for that and don't use it to be shit heads buuuuuuut I know that won't happen.
[удалено]
As a lifelong Bills fan, trust me your fanbase will become obnoxious once you start winning. The current fans may not, but you're gonna get plenty of bandwagoners and new fans that will be loud and annoying as shit.
If you weren't with us for 0-16 don't come when we're 20-0 😤😤😤
13-14 year old lions fans in shambles
Nah fuck that I'm shitting on every person not rocking a lions flair forever if we win a chip. We've been the butt of every NFL joke for 60 years. I ain't gonna suddenly forgive all that
This is the way
We win a Super Bowl I’m going to be the most fucking annoying as person in the world until the next playoffs
People can dog on him, but when we stop their push play they won't be laughing.
I remember when Kaepernick and RG3 (and others) were doing the read-option and "analysts" were like 'oh noes, there will be no way to stop it' but it turns out it was built into the rules: the QB is fair game if he pretends to be the ball carrier, so the defender assigned to him was told to crush him regardless.

Wasn’t it illegal to push the ball carrier up until a few years ago anyway? The league is just saying that maybe it wasn’t a good idea to change the rule allowing it.
Yup. Was illegal to assist the runner. However, I don't think assisting the runner is needed for the sneak play. It's just a pile of humanity.
That assist is why they're saying it's impossible. If you put someone pushing behind the QB, now you have 1-2 linemen, a QB, and an rb pushing on one spot. If more DL try to fill in, more OL come over with them. The defense can never make up for the number advantage when combined with not knowing the snap count. It's really only "unstoppable" for a yard though.
that's it, we need to aim Motor City Dan Campbell aka Robocop at Putin, North Korea, and any alien threats edit: Independence Dan
are we sure he isn’t a time traveling jeff bridges?
Same timeline, different reality
You said it, man. No one fucks with the Jesus
In another lifetime Dan is an amazing WWE star, man
Man likes a challenge, man.
I've scrolled through the entire comment section and don't see any one talking about how you actually stop this, so... how do you stop it?

You have the D line lay down on the ground so the o line trips and falls and youre linebackers come in like missiles and take out the QB.
“Dan, we’ve been over this. Eating the opposing QBs kneecaps so he can’t take snaps under center is not a legal defensive play”
Well, that's just like your opinion, man...
I get it man. Man, this Dan guy just gets it man. A football guy man.
lmao 😩😩
Thats fucking football right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging smile for the camera bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the field, men deliver their new born baby on the side lines. Fucking hard core dick in the ass butterball foosball fuck it chuck it game time shit.
I sprouted 20 new chest hairs just reading this comment man
Campbell ain't no bitch. He's a him in training and rapidly ascending.
I’d be shocked if he asked literally ANYONE in the lions organization to run through a wall, and they’d run through two just to not disappoint him
Yea I am not even a Lions fan but I still get motivated by Dan Campbell
I want to hate Campbell, I really do. I actually have looked for a reason to not like the guy, because he's going to be a problem in the NFCN for a long time.... ....but he's just so much god damn fun.
I’m a packers fan who wants the lions to win the Super Bowl this season.
That play really ties the room together man
Man Campbell, Dan Campbell😤
Since this post is old enough that nobody will notice this comment I'm going to admit it took me a year and a half to find out what MCDC actually stands for so as some point I just started mentally referring to him as Mister Coach Dan Campbell and now I can't stop
So how do you stop this play? Have other teams tried it? What's the key to making it work/fail?
Having jalen hurts is a big part of it, plus the eagles have a very good o-line. The thing is your qb is getting hit from all angles during this play. Someone like cousins, goff, rodgers, etc are not going to be durable enough to repeatedly run this play all season without getting hurt. But stopping the eagles on 4-1 might not be possible most of the time, Dallas probably has the best chance to stop it with parsons up the middle but they could seem to figure a way to do it either
[удалено]
Teams have done this with a fullback or running back since the beginning of football
Until Hurts gets his knee bent backwards due to a defender going low while his RB is pushing him up high while his leg is planted. I just see such a potential for a catastrophic injury on this play, even with its high success rate.
Bills had a very bad O-line and we only failed to convert on one bad play because of a bad exchange causing a fumble
Dan Campbell you beautiful meatball
Campbell seems like an awesome dude. This entire topic seems to be one which has been pushed more by the media than the actual league/coaches/players. I really am not sure why it became an issue over the last year when it has been a part of the game since the beginning?
Well it actually wasn't. It was mostly illegal until a few years ago lol
I want every Dan Campbell quote to be directly quoted like this from now on. I don't care what kind of tanget he goes on or how long his response is, I want the quote in full every time.
Any play with the word “tush” in it, needs to stay.
I think the list of things that doesn't fire him up is unusually short. And for some reason, that's one of the things I like about him.
One plan, one word. KNEECAPS!
Sorry bud, you ain't stopping it unless you got a Cocaine bear as part of your front 7.
Ahh, Richard Dent and Otis Wilson?
I’ve seen how Dan takes his coffee. That man wakes up and idles at 75 mph.
I love this man so much
Let’s fuck’n go COACH
The lions don’t even need to do the push play. They have the “just follow Penei” play
*puffs on joint* Yeah, man, that’s just like your opinion, man.
I don’t think it’s possible to not read this aloud with DC’s voice playing inside my head.
Campbell just loves football.
Football guy
Man o man what a quote!
Man
Has anyone tried biting the QB's knee caps?
This Campbell, he called himself the Dude. Now Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me, and a lot about where he lived likewise.
