I don't agree. They had passes that were catchable but dropped - that isn't on the coach.

Staley's ego cost us this game. I sense this guy will be another graduate of chargers university-4 years and out. He took us from a potential division lead to having to scoreboard watch today. In a strange way, the Texans game might be his biggest test of the year. If we don't bounce back, it will be a terrible sign the players don't care for him either.

Kelce is a division rival, if James is the only guy who can cover him, we need to invest in a plan B
we simply don't have DB depth

he really doesn't have a place on the field
I was wondering why they didn't line him up against Kelce and just have him knock the crap out of Kelce coming off the line of scrimmage. maybe it just temporarily stops the play but anything was better than nothing

Dropped passes on third down it seems - way too often. Very true... would have needed less fourth downs and probably scored many more points if just middle of the NFL.
imagine on last drive before OT, if MW had turned to look for that quick pass herbie launched to beat a blitz......MW would have caught that in FG range, or if he stayed on his feet, scored a long TD.....
This team is very close to being much better..... just needs more consistency.....

Originally posted by Riverwalk View PostIn Staley’s own words……he said he was playing to the teams strength going for it on fourth down.
my interpretation is he’s saying he lacks confidence in his defense ability to contain KC. Perhaps he knew Derwin wasn’t going to play the second half and Chargers needed a lot more points.
Consequently, I could actually see Staley’s 4th down strategy change next year. If he gains a better pass rush, run and pass defense
next year through the draft and FA’cy he might believe his defense can limit opponents to fewer points and field goals are golden.
Belichik and Harbaugh seldom go for 4th down conversions when they are in field go range because they trust their defenses to stop opponents. If they had the Chargers banged up defense, they might go for all those 4th down conversions too.
