I have no problem with the gambles. The play was there and the player didn't execute. Reynolds makes that catch and if the Lions score on the drive, they go up 32-10 and it is probably lights out. None of that game is on Goff, I thought he played well enough to win.
In the end the turning point was a ridiculously fortunate bounce and catch by Aiyuk. Up to that point the Lions played well enough not giving up that big play deep. Even on that play the CB played it well and was in a position to pick it off. That followed up with a rookie mistake that lead to a fumble. The momentum off those turned the game.
