Now a pariah, Staley actually had a lot of defender's here. I wonder where they went?

Some of my favorite comments that were upvoted:

"Yes, and it's annoying that the Chargers hired a coach who pays attention to this kind of thing. I'm used to their coaches doing dumb shit."

"Legitimately my favorite coach in the NFL right now. Playing percentages is vital to long-term success--hope his leash is long enough. Can't praise him when they are successful and then rag on him when they are not. If Ekeler were 100% we wouldn't even be having this conversation (because they would've converted.)'

"I remember being stoked when we hired him, and it's only become clearer that he was a great choice."

"Damn man the Chargers can do no wrong these days. They're on the up and up in a lot of different ways."

"I'm not even a Chargers fan but this guy... he should be coach of the year. The man is a leader."

A few downvoted comments from these threads

"Yeah, no. Real football is what Andy Reid was coaching. He took his points when they counted and won the game. Analytics made Staley look like an asshole who doesn’t believe his kicker"

"Chargers my top choice to disappoint this season. Lots of optimism now but it will fade."

Bonus non Staley related ironically coming from an eagles fan

"Which means Sirianni must be doing well too right?......right?"

This is a topic I’ve thought about for years. The idea that one game could cause the greatest set of ripple effects and change a large chunk of the NFL’s landscape in its aftermath.

The game doesn’t neccessarily need to be a SuperBowl, hell even not a playoff game.

As a 49er fan, the Falcons/Patriots SBLI.

We got Kyle Shanahan out of it and it essentially undid all the work Shanahan and his staff did to help Matt Ryan.

Three of Kyle’s assistant coaches became head coaches after that in due time (McVay, LaFleur, McDaniel).

Dan Quinn was fired 3 years later and currently leads the Cowboy’s Defense (and may take McCarthy’s job if he faulters).

Tom Brady’s playoff Legacy was further cemented with his 5th superbowl.

Bill Belichick’s DC Matt Patricia eventually got a HC gig with Lions, OC Josh McDaniels got a HC gig with the Raiders.

Many assistants and coordinators moved up in the ranks of the NFL’s coaching trees.

The Patriots would win one more SB, the Falcons would make the playoffs once or twice after since.

Edited: Chiefs/Falcons SB Lol
