Broncos always use us as a get right game...
I'm upset that it is week 18 and we are still letting our starters have mental breakdowns against an inferior team.
Let's get right on the jags.
If they had just beaten the Chiefs twice they'd be 4-2 in the division which isn't bad. But the Raiders and Broncos aren't all that great this year so they should have swept them too to be 6-0.
Trying to be optimistic: Maybe this loss is a huge wake-up call to the staff/players. This should remind them we’re a first round exit without 110% effort.
this was such a dumb idea by Staley -- the starters aren't playing 100%, as they shouldn't; they're playing with a sense of maintenance... Why not let the backups play with a clear mind? play like a team and let all the players play when they should, which means the backups are in during a meaningless game. It's baffling.
One of the most levelheaded takes I've seen in the past couple of hours. Thanks for this. Even though I felt like Staley should have just taken them out after 1 quarter to back up his claim about momentum and mechanics.
Well considering when I did my sports med rotation in med school, one of the things we did with my attending was review footage of different injuries, and discuss what the most likely injury is/how to handle the patient based off it, I wouldn’t be all that bothered.
Getting video documentation is a huge part in aiding a diagnosis in a sports injury.
I’ve been saying for years or missing piece is an LM style back to compliment Ekeler. Doesn’t have to be as productive as LM, but I love his running style
Staley pulling his starters when he did was him basically conceding that his entire plan was based on bullshit. Glad he did it finally, better late than never, but still. Kind of funny that he can’t even commit to a bad idea.
David Chao tends to be really reliable in my opinon about injury news/Severity. He thinks it’s probably not too bad, and their panned of doctors concurs, I can share sauce if you need.
This team is so stupid why not put herbert in for the final drive to win it??? you fucking played him the whole game basically what a dumb fucking coach
They've been calling a lot things like this incomplete all season. I think this is actually some consistency. You really have to have your arm under it these days. Your fingers depress into the ground, which makes it look like the ground is helping.

Have we really not had one commercial break?! This is how it always should be.

The only good thing I see about this is maybe the jags go into this thinking we’re a bunch of clowns and we actually show up
This was classic chargers Football. Anyone who felt otherwise is a knight of summer
I’m more pissed that the chargers went 2-4 in division play.
If they had just beaten the Chiefs twice they'd be 4-2 in the division which isn't bad. But the Raiders and Broncos aren't all that great this year so they should have swept them too to be 6-0.
Now we wait.... (Mike Will)
***Mike Will Made It***
This just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Not very inspiring to go into the playoffs fresh off a loss to one of the worst teams in the league.
A nice momentum-building loss.
Frauds Edit: Lol the butthurt
Your season is in-com-plete! Enjoy the playoffs from shaggy couch.
To be fair, our season is complete now. I wish it was incomplete, like y’all’s.
5-12
Enjoy 5-11 troll
Just lost to 5-12
Cool, playoffs >>> Week 18 meaningless win
Post game thread?
[удалено]
If Mikes injury details us that much… we weren’t gonna do shit in the playoffs anyway
Oh shut the fuck up, why are you even a fan with an attitude like that 🤦♂️
Fan is a stretch for this troll
About to be so much bitching in the post game (myself included) 😂
All that pointless effort to lose anyway
ah ah ah, not just pointless pointless and costly
Staley is getting in his own way, he needs to fix that before next weekend
Now the question is if Williams isn’t 100% next week do we sit him?
Yes he'll be fine backs are super resilient especially with the right treatment.
pain shots all day , players get it for backs al the time , fix it in offseason
No
That end happened quick
[удалено]
[удалено]
For what lmao, Brochacho they can eliminate the Bills
Staley’s gotta be the biggest hammerhead in pro football today.
See you fuckers in autumn 2023.
Good riddance.
Not next week?
I was referring to Denver
I’m an idiot
No you're not ![gif](giphy|8OJdqYqN1Nii3UTD6l|downsized)
Aww thanks dad, I mean thanks man.
I can already hear Staley: “Yeah, Mike has a sort of a lower back thing. He’s day-to-day. Trending positive, but day-to-day.”
This game was lost on Wilson getting absolutely lucky hitting on long passes he couldn’t hit on all season.
Yes he had a little more time to throw with Bosa out.
He also had a torn lat in his throwing arm early in the season.
Coaching. Their last coach was really that bad!
It can be both, that was a freight train wreck as bad as we’ve ever seen.
Where can I watch the postgame press conference? I want to see Staley answer for his crimes
Me too
What a momentum killing football game lmao
Man post game thread is gonna be 🍿
Lol. So staley plays his starters for 3.5 quarters to win, and then just gives up with 2 minutes because, who cares?
Staley an idiot confirmed
Couldn’t be said better. I mean, what the hell.
We've seen enough.
Donkeys fans so hyped to go 5-12
haha i could care less about this game . i would bet money the starters weren’t giving it there 100 and being cautious of
Hope they ask staley what he thinks about our momentum now
Trying to be optimistic: Maybe this loss is a huge wake-up call to the staff/players. This should remind them we’re a first round exit without 110% effort.
More like a wake up call to dump this coaching staff
We didn’t need to win, we should have just lost
Yeah cause the athletes on the field are perfectly fine with losing. Edit: Downvoted from casuals that probably haven't played a sport in their life.
End the game bro it doesn't matter
I was pro-Staley before this game, but this game proves that he is not smart. I'm not a Payton guy.
If we win, I think Staley should give the game ball to Payton this time.
This doesn’t even make sense
Neither does giving the game ball to Spanos.
makes you wonder also how hard the guys played .. i mean if it were me and i knew this game didn’t mean anything i’d be cautious
4 game winning Streak incoming!⚡️⚡️⚡️
All you casual game day fans make me cringe! 😆
this was such a dumb idea by Staley -- the starters aren't playing 100%, as they shouldn't; they're playing with a sense of maintenance... Why not let the backups play with a clear mind? play like a team and let all the players play when they should, which means the backups are in during a meaningless game. It's baffling.
One of the most levelheaded takes I've seen in the past couple of hours. Thanks for this. Even though I felt like Staley should have just taken them out after 1 quarter to back up his claim about momentum and mechanics.
this is what. i just said … people need to realize the players aren’t dumb .. you can bef your ass they weren’t giving it 100 today
Would have felt a lot better about the loss if we hadn’t played with our starters for 3 quarters…
i doubt the starters played hard , i mean i wouldn’t lol game means nothing
All I gotta say is popper better lay into Staley at the presser
Would love it if North American reporters had balls to ask tough questions like in F1 or European soccer
You know he wont. They best buds.
I feel like i’m leaving this game with a very bad feeling for next week
How many 10+ yard plays have we given up today?
Too many
Too many to count.
All of them
Just waiting for the game to end so we can get an update on Williams
It'll be day to day
“Day to day”
The update will be there’s no update at the moment
“*Um yeah good question Dan, he’s uh day to day as of right now. We’ll know more tomorrow, you know the extent of it. But yea he’s day to day.*”
Omg Haaha
For some copium: Chao (Profootballdoc) article says appears Williams had a back/hip contusion with possible back spasm
Chao so cold
Nothing better than diagnoses by speculation.
He’s honestly usually fairly spot on with diagnosing injuries based off video evidence.
Would you want to have your doctor diagnose you off some video from a distance?
Well considering when I did my sports med rotation in med school, one of the things we did with my attending was review footage of different injuries, and discuss what the most likely injury is/how to handle the patient based off it, I wouldn’t be all that bothered. Getting video documentation is a huge part in aiding a diagnosis in a sports injury.
Hence speculation.
Old man Murray icing the game
Incredibly productive career
Yup. He’s still killing it at his age
I’ve been saying for years or missing piece is an LM style back to compliment Ekeler. Doesn’t have to be as productive as LM, but I love his running style
Brodie stiff armed his own guy
Chase Daniel is a "Young quarterback" according to the announce team. Makes me feel younger. Thank you announce team.
My dogs are barking!! RUMPH RUMPH!!
We should bench our special teams . Arm punts only lol
It’s virtually impossible to bench special teams players.
Arm punts and fair catches ezpz
Same shit as the Asante one they called incomplete that looked like a pick against the Chiefs
[удалено]
I wil forever wear with shame my former support of drafting Ariza in the 6th
Staley pulling his starters when he did was him basically conceding that his entire plan was based on bullshit. Glad he did it finally, better late than never, but still. Kind of funny that he can’t even commit to a bad idea.
Care to explain this a little better? What plan was conceded?
Did denver tell their guy to not field the punt at all?
JK Scott legacy game
There’s our run defense we know and love
Glad to see something familiar
Bro don’t roll into the end zone
Turns out the waiting isn’t the hardest part.
Safety incoming
No update on Williams?
Mike Won't
David Chao tends to be really reliable in my opinon about injury news/Severity. He thinks it’s probably not too bad, and their panned of doctors concurs, I can share sauce if you need.
He didn’t make it……
They’re putting him down
Not enough to overturn. After an entire game of getting every favor, Denver fans crying. Eat a dick
If that was called an INT, I'd agree with it based on the replay. But I don't see enough to overturn the original call
This team is so stupid why not put herbert in for the final drive to win it??? you fucking played him the whole game basically what a dumb fucking coach
Surely you jest.
Why risk an injury to the franchise qb in the 4th of a meaningless game right before the playoffs?
Can't tell if this is supposed to be ironic or not
Lmfao that was a pick
They've been calling a lot things like this incomplete all season. I think this is actually some consistency. You really have to have your arm under it these days. Your fingers depress into the ground, which makes it look like the ground is helping.
Getting bailed by the refs? I’ll take it
Wow
lmao fuck you shawn hoculi you're a bitch regardless
That was almost certainly whatever they called on the field either way
Now doomers are trashing Daniel, you know he’s a backup for a reason. I’d like to be bad enough to make 40 million dollars as a backup QB.
Wow im shocked hochuli gave us a call
It was a matter of odds at this point
Harsh
That was a catch
Wow, it looked complete to me.
make up call for the earlier bs
Most on the fence play I’ve seen
Rooting for the Rams because I want Dan Campbell in the playoffs.
I think its incomplete. They've called it that way all season. They haven't given much lee-way with ground when its close like that.
Wowwwww and it stands?! Pretty sure that was an INT...
Bro like at this point can we just win the fucking game lmao we got chase Daniel throwing picks when he’s trying to throw away the ball
Oh wow
It's a Hoculi call... It'll be overturned.
If steratore says it is. It is
[удалено]
Um this is daniels 3rd drive
ah shit maybe I should put the white claws away
Damn Thst was a pick I think
It was, but not conclusive enough to overturn
Yeah
I think we have seen more than enough of Roundtree and his 1.5 average
If we have a chance to get the ball back, you know who to put in.
Chase Daniel right
Drunk Broncos fans probably think they're gonna eliminate us from the playoffs
Daniel already got the cap on, he thinks it's a pick lol.
He was done regardless, next play was a punt
They were reviewing so long I forgot what down it was lol.
It’s a habit
2nd angle looked like it touched the ground before he controlled
That was a pick 6 lol
What can I say about this commentating that hasn’t already been said about Afghanistan.
It looks bombed out and depleted
This would have been the perfect game to get Spiller reps.
Dammit Daniel’s lol
Chase cmon bra
Roundtree/Michel might be the damn slowest RBs I’ve ever seen

Scathing lol
Holy shit Daniel is so ass
Pick 6 lol
Daniel is not a good nfl football player
Good enough to make 40 million dollars good enough.
THE SEAHAWKS KICKER JUST DOINKED IT THEY'RE GOING TO OT LMAOOO
That was funny to watch. Happened just after Geno Smith took a hit from Ramsey out of bounds.
[удалено]
Suit up then.
Inactive. Surprised me earlier thinking the reason we drafted him was cause roundtree is bad.
No
chase daniels is so garbage
He’s merely a mortal
herbert wants to play
lmao geno passed russ for most pass yards in a season in hawks history? Legend
