Somebody give an explanation for Brandon Staley's timeout with 38 seconds left in Overtime
Worst Timeout Call Ever?
- Thread starter VirginiaCavs
- Start date
In the post-game interview Carr said that the timeout "definitely" shifted the strategy...maybe Vegas would have run out the clock? But he also said that they wanted to win (obviously he had to say that).
Did Staley forget that Chargers get in with a tie? Why would he have tried to drive downfield with the ball back, 30 seconds left, and no timeouts left when his team gets in with a tie??

Ah shit- changed back
Name changed to Timeout Staley-
He is known as the worst coach in NFL history…

He called it with four seconds on the play clock. If he was trying to get the ball back he would’ve called it much sooner...

This claim is disputed
He called timeout, I assume to avoid the situation that occurred. He was thinking raiders would punt if stopped rather than risk the loss on a long missed fg. he wasn't calling timeout to try and go down to score. Terrible timeout but I think that is what he was thinking.

Raiders had to run a play regardless of whether he called the timeout or not. Unless Vegas was planning to kneel- but they were not in formation to do so

It’s the only way to describe his decision. Over coaching in a situation that needed no coaching at all.

Going for it on his own 18 is by far his biggest mistake. And having a defense that was pathetic stopping the run
Remember Staley‘s incessant fourth-down calls vs Chiefs? He left so many points on the board.
Chargers are really talented but Staley‘s incompetence forces them to underachieve massively.
He is not fit as a head coach and needs to go. Please Jacksonville don‘t hire him.

Brandon Staley Trifecta of Analytics - 3 PT Game early goes for 4th and 2 from own 18, down by 15 29-14 scores and goes for two risking leaving himself on 9 and two score deficit and luckily makes it, calls TO at end of OT when Raiders obviously were running down the play clock to mitigate their own risk. That trifecta should have his ass fired imo....he let his team down irreparably.....

That bonkers Chargers-Raiders ending, explained: Barnwell on the potential tie, a conspiracy and more
Let's take a closer look at what happened in overtime and whether Los Angeles blew its chance to make the playoffs.

Ill be honest I don’t think either coach had a clue how to play those last 2 min. Raiders couldn’t decide if they wanted to go for the win or settle w the tie. Sd had a tie set up and basically told the raiders no go ahead. Try to win. Lol
They were not going to let it run out. They stated as much.
I'm still shocked the NFL and it's gambling partners let it get to that point.

i been screaming all year this dude a bum, it not the timeout that was pathetic, it was he called it to "get his best run d on the field", then proceeded to get gashed yet again, this dude supposed to be a defensive guy and his defensive philosophy is to allow teams to destroy them on the ground!! he is a analytics genius tho!! lmfao. a retarded Mouse could have coached this team into the playoffs, chalk another one up for the progressive thinkers who say analytics the be all end all!! this guy is the poster boy!!
