Chargers @ Browns Game Day Thread / Post Game Reaction (Week 5)

[Caslon]

Great coaching decision by Staley. He KNEW Cleveland would miss the FG. Baby!

Or…he knew one of our DB’s would get a PI on a long bomb.

[richpjr]

That was Lynnesque.

Lynn would have punted.

[21&500]

Okay well maybe I'm wrong, but the calls leading up to this told me they were preparing for a punt.
hopefully I'm just a fucking idiot.

[SDBORN]

That's the coach we're trusting to build up a generational talent like Herbert btw.

The owners are so damn cheap.

If I'm in Herbert's shoes I am either leaving after this contract or demanding proven coaching before renewal of the contract.

[powderblueboy]

No, that was NOT the correct call right there!!!

You better have a great play that you've been saving in your hip pocket all game.

They tried Mdub on the quick slant, who wasn't open. Herbert went there anyhow because they had nothing else.

[Topcat]

Staley could have had the Browns possibly, probably pinned back with a punt and 1:40 on the clock and no time outs. Guess what folks! Staley is going to make these incredibly stupid play calls again. Just you wait.

Yep...he did it last year, and he's at it again...

[Parcells]

Man that was a dumb move by Staley. I worry that this season starts to spiral if we lose that game after that boneheaded call.

[electricgold]

That was a real nail biter! Happy to see we were on the winning end because looking at our history we used to lose a lot of games like this! I'm still waiting for our players to get their swagger UP!

We 3-2!

[richpjr]

We did the same thing last year against the Eagles. It sucked that it didn’t work out this time.

Kind of funny to read this after some of the reactions on here. The funny thing is, the play was our best WR playing today against a 3rd string CB which you'd think would have a good shot. But the 3rd string CB was all over him and it was pretty ugly.

I'll take the win.

[Caslon]

Can’t wait for Staleys dumb coach speak presser.

[Budsman]

How many games have we watched where an offense gets the ball back with 1 minute left and moves the ball down the field and wins? I get Staley playing the percentages and playing to win.

i don’t know if I could have made that call but if you think you’re chances of getting the 4th and 2 are say 70% and if you get it you win the game 99.9% of the time and the 30 percent of the time you miss you win 25% of the time then the odds tell you to go for it.

If you kick it and you’re 50/50 to win maybe 60/40 to win I think I agree with Staley you go for it. I would like a better playcall of course and would have preferred getting the ball to our best offensive player Ekeler.

Anyway at the knee jerk we’re so conditioned to think you HAVE to punt it but everyone here has watched a team down by less than a fg lose that game after punting.

[21&500]

I still say we got absolutely lucky and didn't put ourselves in the best position to win.
I'm open to hearing different, humbly.
this looks crazy to me.
Even the look wasn't open. Wtf.
