None of them should be a HC at NFL lvl. Brandon proved it multiple times (Raiders 4th and down, playing injuried Herbert, playing starters in meaningless game, 27-0, defence which is by bottom 3 in NFL and many more).
I have no confidence nor faith in Staley's team.
I have that feeling last 2 games other teams more lost it than we actually won...
Ask yourself if this a team you want to see going further after 3 offseasons of building?
For me it is easy no.

Practice squad players playing both safety spots, no Bosa or Eke or Linsley...still, we played great first half...and then sleepwalked thru the second....I put that on Staley and Moore...gotta keep these players engaged, and stop the playcalling not to lose...ie vanilla back to back runs.
Miss Linsley badly...gotta be more inventive on short yardage...and move Herbert outta pocket even more, or get some help for the middle on pass pro.
Kelley prob never be more than a #2...Spiller cant break out...RB cant be ignored next offseason.
I think the season will ultimately hinge on Herbert developing chemistry and trust with the WR corp as it stands...I think the defense, if it stays healthy, will play better...at least "good enough"...but in the end, its gonna come down to coaching, and Herbie putting this team on his shoulders...
Cant believe Im happy we have a week 5 bye...turns out we need it...badly...couple of those guys might have been able to go...I think we gambled we could survive without them, and won....for once...

LOL - So you agree with me now? I never said beating the Raiders makes Staley a great coach. I am still uncommitted on the future course recommendation for the team. what I DO say is its weird to fire a coach immediately after winning 2 games, which is the dominant prescription here in our forum/
Chiefs/Jets should have been a bigger cakewalk. We know that if we are honest. I offer compare and contrast examples in the hope that folks will realize this ain’t a madden game, it’s real men playing real football and real sometimes weird shit can happen in games that completely changes things. KC got lucky with ref cheating and huge Jets errors to sneak out a 3pt win. We all watched that game, KC was not better.
But here, guys chirp out “if we didn’t get 7 sacks, or a ‘lucky’ INT, our D was trash …” …. What? We DID get 7 sacks, we did strip him twice, we did set that dumb QB up for a INT and take his ball away. That was Staley’s D doing that, the D that we all saw get dismantled week 1. That is huge improvement, yards cut by over 50%, points cut by over 50%, but zero ack here of any improvement at all.
“yeah, but if we didn’t - …” … huh?
IMO Staley's coaching is a significant contributing factor to our inability to win against good teams . . . . . . . . . . which we'll HAVE to do to achieve our goals. I'll admit that I have no clue (other than Harbaugh) who could replace him and improve our chances, but BS has run his course and proven what he's capable of. Squeaking out a win against a bad Raider team with a (6th round?) rookie QB starting his first NFL game does nothing to change my opinion of him . . . . . . . now if he can win against the Cowboys and KC that's a different matter.
He's not going to get fired during the season, but I'm expecting this team finishes with a lackluster record. Looking at the rest of the schedule it's highly likely they wont be better than .500, and that's not acceptable for a team with the talent they have . . . . . . . . . we'll see.

Herbert will trust him when he makes catches he should make. He didn’t yesterday

People said Herbert had a bad game. I watched that game - again, pass protection was spotty and receivers dropped I think 3 passes. Help a QB out already

ok, so for the record I would have punted. But I'm not freaked out going for it, and I'm not freaked out about a sneak from 1 yard. I just don't get sad when we win and I don't call to fire staff, cut players, burn the village down after victories. I do get sad so many here are virulently hateful after a win, but today is a new day, we all can come back reinvigorated at the next 3/4 of the season still to come.
Its obvious to me now what is going on with their 4th down calls - Staley and Moore are playing 4th Dim Chess and we think we're still staring at a parcheesi board. They knew they would win vs MIN and LV, they intentionally made those shit plays fail on purpose. Why, you ask? Great question, glad I'm here.
Because against KC, when it really matters, Herbie is gonna fake the dive handoff and hit his TE that leaked out in the flat ... the entire KC defense will be piled 11 high in the middle of the scrum and Smartt is gonna run 73 yards for a TD.
Fucking brilliant, eh?
People thought Galileo was crazy for a long time...just sayin'“Less is more? NO NO NO - MORE is MORE!”

The endzone pass was deflected.
He made one great catch an inch off the turf to bail Herbie out on an errant throw.
which other drops am I missing? I may not remember more?“Less is more? NO NO NO - MORE is MORE!”

They didn't need Williams to be a major contributor as a rookie. It started that way for Johnston this year. But with Mike Williams gone there is no bona fide No. 2 WR now. Palmer maybe, but he looks more like a No. 3. They need a No. 2 WR to step up, or Keenan is going to get double-covered all the time like yesterday. QJ was a first round pick, other rookie WRs drafted way below him are contributing majorly. The Chargers need QJ to be more than a project.
