No, it is the worst. Can’t wait to see how Ryan Tannehill carves us up next week.
Fire staley
Also: is Herbert trying to break a record for most check downs in a career?
Staley is unironically a worse coach than Anthony Lynn ever was. Might be our worst hire in a while
New year. Same old Chargers!!!
Ready for the Kellen Moore era
records are a qb stat though 🥴
You simply can’t expect to win when you let Tua throw for 466.
Take away his two bad turnovers and they easily win this by 2 TDs
Hold him responsible
my thing is…miami is loaded on offense so you have to expect that they’re gonna score some points, however for a “defensive genius” with a LOADED defensive roster you should not be giving up 538 yards…
I’m done with Staley
Defensive Guru 🤓
Yeah I’ve never said fire Staley, but I’m done with him. Defence has been straight garbage since he’s gotten here
Staley needs to give up the play calling. He’s ass.
Tannehill bout to drop MVP numbers against us.
WHERE ARE THE STALEY DEFENDERS!?!?!? THE MAN IS THE WORST HC IN FRANCHISE HISTORY!!! No head coach has pissed away this much talent, fucking idiot
How many career days has this team given players? I swear half of the greatest performances come against the Chargers.
The good news is that if Staley gets replaced with Moore by the end of the season, at least Moore would have a 1-year head start.
Isn’t he about stopping the pass and making teams work for it through running the ball? He did a great job
People will blame the pass rush but from a schematic perspective the 1st quick read was so open for Tua that there was no time for any rush to develop. This was a coaching master class by McDaniels.
The music is changing on Staley
It was bad. Staley had time to adjust to the presnap motion of Tyreek Hill but it seems like he couldn’t do it. Definitely something to work on. Miami came out with a speed kills plan and it worked

#Fire Staley
At least nobody on the Chargers tore their ACL today I guess? 🤷♂️
I’m off Staley. Defensive head coach and the defense has been terrible for 3 years now. Embarrassing performance overall. No excuse for a veteran like JC Jackson making two silly mistakes, a PI on Hail Mary and taking that INT out of the end zone. Also why is K9 a guaranteed starter? Why is he here?
Bosa is so over rated
It’s time to go, Staley. Bye.
On the bright side, when we tank the season we can get Marvin Harrison Jr
I’m just tired of the same shit. Can this team ever catch lightning in a bottle like ever? Defense has names but plays like rookies. Smh
I wish we kept Shane Steichen
Next week we can expect the 250 plus rushing yards to Henry. Our defense is really about creating the hardest road scenarios for our offense to overcome.
New year, same horrible defense. No way Staley should finish the year. He’s a bottom five defensive coach. Anymore embarrassing defensive outings like that, then it’s time for Kellen Moore to take over. Let’s face it the defense can’t get worse with Staley not there.
I’m embarrassed. Given up that many yards just screams bad scheme.
Defense need lots of milk and no Staley!
FUCKING PATHETIC!! As a medium fan I could tell you what the Miami game plan was. As a head coach getting paid millions of dollars that should be super fucking obvious. Pass up the middle, FUCKING GUARD THAT.
Staley really has my respect man. He saw the defense struggle in the second half of our playoff game and said nuh uh. Learned from his mistakes and came out with a game plan that will allow the defense to struggle for both halves.
Glad I paid hard-earned money to see the shitshow live.
lmao classic chargers …. i knew the dolphins would score and i knew herbert would have to try and win it .. and just like clock work every year , his o line crumbles at the end .. same thing every year
Staley needs to hand over Defensive duties
Maybe the worst 6 consecutive quarters of defense I’ve seen in my life.
We had a golden opportunity to replace Staley at the end of last year.
I don’t understand not doubling Tyreek Hill. He was THE one killing us all day long. He should be getting Chipped right off rip and a second guy should be picking him up right afterward. Obviously he was burning us in single coverage every time. Poor game planning and even worse adjustments during the game. A more intelligent head coach would have made that adjustment by q2 at the very latest. You could see it by q1.
