Good grief, the gnashing of teeth on this board is pathetic. Let's play the game, eh?
Sean Payton is NOT coming to the Chargers. It simply isn't going to happen. The Spanos' can't afford him. Not even close. Put that hope to bed.

Just found out Mike Williams will not be making the trip to Jacksonville because of his back injury. I'm sorry but I think Staley is the worst coach this team has ever had acting like it's all about him when it's about the team and the fans. His decisions are piss poor and it looks like his decisionto keep all the starters in most of the game last week is going to cost us another deep run in the playoffs. If I was Spanos I would fire him NOW.

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.

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."

I thought about that, but I assume the 2-3 weeks starts now, not retroactively to the injury. We will see, if the Chargers advance.

If you think Sean Payton is a better coach than Brandon Staley, you should want the team to explore the possibility.Originally posted by FoutsFan View PostI do not understand where all this Payton wishful thinking is coming from.
He is not coming here.
If there is going to be a coaching change, I'd rather go with a guy like Shane Steichen, who's currently active in the NFL and has a track record as a QB guru.
