Do We Need The Gutsy (Analytics) Staley Back?

[Riverwalk]

He shoulda remained as DC as the Rams. He'd have a SB trophy and a reputation as a top DC and more experience in the NFL. When he gets fired by the Chargers I doubt anyone will hire him as a DC.

Yeah. His reputation as a defensive genius got trashed based on the last 3 games.

If he gets fired because of a loss to Vikings…..he is smart enough to know his coaching at the NFL level is likely kaput!

Staley is aware of this and likely the most anxious about the outcome of this game as any in his life. Talk about pressure!!

Players have to know this too. Will they step it up and rescue his career that’s hanging by a thread?

That decision was straight idiotic... That is not the "gutsy" I was talking about.

I liked the call, didn't like the execution. Will be forgotten, D won the game this time.

We would have pinned them deep and the defense was playing well, it was unnecessary. We're lucky Cousins screwed up at the end.

We were at the 24. With our punter, they would not have been pinned deep, they’d have likely had the ball around the 35 yard line or better. Don’t really have a problem going for the win, hated the play call.

BS... We were lucky they had the 2 injury timeouts that pushed the ball back. I'd take them at our 35 over their 24 any day.

What is BS about it? I merely pointed out they wouldn’t have been pinned deep and I did not like the call we ran.

Playing loose, aggressive football will serve us well.

Now that we have been lucky shits.

Looking at you Justin, Kellen.

You're sure about that? Or is that just how you justify the bad call because we won? I would have taken a muffed punt at the 50 yard line over that call... I get that it was 1 yard and the play itself was bad, but overall it was unnecessary that's all I'm saying.

A resounding yes from me
it's the only way to break the Chargering curse.
I heard that's real.

Am I sure about what? That our punter kicks high and short every time? Yes I am, especially watching him punt 3 times for a 37 yard average. If we had a punter like Araiza who can flip a field I might have punted, but we don’t.

Staley is lucky we won. plain and simple. He had a great game up until that point, it could have been put away much earlier.
