This guy is out of his mind

No, he's observed the Charger special teams history.

He thought 4th and 2 from his 18 was safer than risking a blocked punt.

and his receivers are dropping more balls than anyone...not even Drew Lock could help here...

[RollerColt]

The Raiders are much better than us honestly. I say that in terms of their toughness. With everything that has happened to them this year, this is incredible to see them fighting to the end. It’s impressive.

Yet he opted to punt twice in this game. 

 

Staley is the biggest factor behind the Chargers not winning close games.

I agree. Our team talked more tough than playing tough.

Great touch throw by Carr

[JediXMan]

I would’ve traded a 1st and 3rd for Carr tbh.

The Raiders made it clear a year ago, they were not interested in trading Carr.   
 

An the word was, they would’ve wanted more than a 1 and a 3. 

[chad72]

Renfrow is the Edelman for the Raiders.

 

Raiders aren’t going to be easy fodder for Bengals, IMO, they’re a pesky team.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I am happy for the Raiders. They have been through a lot this season.

Not over yet

[chad72]

Will Staley giving the Raiders easy 3 points cost the Chargers again??

...maybe you're right, and he should have trusted his punt team at the 18.

His decision I disliked the most was not trying a field goal with 3 first half seconds left in the Thursday Night Game vs Chiefs. Because the KC defense looked settled, confident, defending the endzone+1 yard at that time.

I'm still hoping for a tie...and a Steelers-less tournament.

 

[Gramz]

This Game!   Exciting 

[chad72]

Herbert is exciting to watch

Definitely, there's a fine line between guts & stupidity, and Staley often crosses that line!

How many 4th and 10s?

 

 

[Lancer1]

Wouldn't this be a "Chargery" way to lose: they score a touchdown as time expires, but Dustin Hopkins misses the extra point and they lose by 1!

[Indyfan4life]

This is a wild quarter. 

[Gramz]

Crazy fun game

Who's sleeping tonight?  

[Indyfan4life]

Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. 

[Gramz]

OT

[Lancer1]

Think Pittsburgh is sweating now?

[chad72]

This is what a talented accurate QB can do for you .

 

If not for a lousy D and points left on the field by Staley across games, the Chargers would have probably beat the Chiefs for the division.

 

[Gramz]

Steelers must be going nutz

[Gramz]

I kept thinking the luck would run out on the 4th and 10s. And he'd convert again.

 

I want someone like him on our team.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Ha Ha Steelers are so *.

[smittywerb]

Even with a bad OL, Herbert getting it done

Wentz has the arm but not the timing or accuracy or the skill positions like the Chargers

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

This has to be on purpose lol.

[chad72]

Joey Bosa is so overrated, Von Miller in his prime was a better run defender. Nick Bosa is better, IMO.

[Indyfan4life]

Imagine coming back to force OT, and then letting Jacobs gash you on two huge runs. Raiders are already in field goal range. 

[Gramz]

I love games like this and I don't even care who wins

They tightened up when needed

[Indyfan4life]

Oh wow. Another half second in the air and that was a doink.

I do too, but I root against the Raiders on principle!

[Gramz]

[chad72]

This game is awesome!!! Herbert is fearless!!

[Indyfan4life]

Go Chargers!

[Lancer1]

Sudden death now! (Pittsburgh is really sweating)

[Indyfan4life]

Wife is asleep next to me, and I literally almost jumped out of bed on that throw to Williams.
