MIke Williams Is Out Against The Jags

[Lefty2SLO]

Btw, doomsayers, the prognosis is he will miss two to three weeks. If it's two, he's back next week. If it's 3, he's back for the AFCCG. If they advance of course. Sure, the road just got rockier, but, dang, there's still hope.

Sure - I have hope . . . . hope that Mahomes breaks a leg :shifty:

Were you the only one not praying for Demar Hamlin's health when the entire nation was?

I was clear about this in the Hamlin thread. You went and brought scripture into this. Had you done it in the Hamlin thread id edit it there also.

I concur. He was defensive when asked about it and I felt too like he was beating himself up internally over the decision.

He cited the 48 player rule for being forced to play starters, including Mike Williams.Staley was in a tough position when it came time to announce inactives for the game, which I believe is 90 min before kickoff, correct? I think the Bengals did lead the Ravens 24 or 27 to 10 at the 90-min deadline and it looked like the Bengals were going to coast to a win playing a Ravens team QB'd by a third-string QB. But you can never be sure in the NFL, and Staley couldn't be 100 percent sure how committed Zac Taylor was going to be to win, because Taylor's only incentive was a coin toss.

So I think Staley made the decision to treat the Bronco game like a regular game and make all his starters active and go with his usual inactives. I was a bit surprised when I saw the inactive list, with Stick, Spiller and Bandy inactive. I was kind of expecting to see Herbert inactive along with Mike Will and Keenan A, with Stick, Spiller and Bandy being given substantial playing time.

At game time, when the Ravens had been defeated and the Chargers' clinching the No. 5 seed, was Staley locked in to playing starters due to his third stringers being inactive? Or did he charge ahead unflinchingly with his starters in the game because he truly felt he needed to keep the momentum going? It seemed obvious to me that the starters did relax a little because nothing was on the line. Ekeler alluded to it somewhat after the game, and he himself had a fumble in the game.

So I guess the question, after I've rambled above, would Staley make different decisions in regards to playing starters if he had a do-over? I think the answer is "yes."

There were options even with a typical game day roster. Run the ball with Kelly and get the hell out of dodge . . . . Staley's claim that he was essentially 'forced' to play MW (and others) to me is disingenuous and a diversion. I'm disappointed he went there . . . . I expect more from him.

LOL @ the thought of Team Spanos actually making a wise decision for head coach.

If they gong Staley, no doubt they bring in someone even worse.

MDub got injured 2:43 in 2nd quarter. I was fine with playing starters until hafltime. I dont blame Staley. It was a freak accident (check my film study for video clip)

Bandy was already on the 53, couldn't be sent to the PS without waiver. The guys on the practice squad aren't great options.
