Staley says he takes ownership of Saturday’s meltdown in the AFC wild-card game against the Jaguars, but he doesn’t specify what he might do differently.
– though he didn’t seem to be making his case from a position of strength.
Indeed, Staley’s Chargers reached the playoffs for the first time since 2018. They found their footing down the homestretch, winning four in a row before dropping a meaningless regular-season finale to finish 10-7 – one victory better than the previous season, three better than in 2020-21 and five better than in 2019-20. And they showed some gumption to do it after losing several starters to injury early in the season.
That would be like Doc Rivers bragging about taking two of his Clippers teams to Game 7s in Western Conference semifinal series. Really, though, those teams twice blew 3-1 series leads in collapses that still haunt fans of that other star-crossed franchise with San Diego roots.It’s an epic fail.
