Good Morning Football is a production of the NFL in partnership with IHeart Radio. Well, welcome to Good morning football.

Well, welcome to Good Morning Football presented by Old Trapper Beef Jerky. We are live here in New York City. It is Friday, December 15th.

My name is Sherry Burris, alongside Kyle Brandt, Peter Schrager, and Sean O'Hara. The theme for this week really has been those backup quarterback, so I feel like we're kind of filling in. You know, like we're talking with the theme. Yeah, and then the next thing you know, they're talking about you, and then you've got your own call sign, and you've got it then your agents on doing interviews with everybody. Does your agent look the same as Tommy DeVito's? That's the most important question Not so much. No. No. Well. Great to see you. Great to be back. Interesting one last night. Interesting. Yeah. Yeah. Let's do it. Time to Lee Block. Now, I know the Super Bowl is in Las Vegas. To me, this was the Super Bowl. A fantastic game. Chargers, Raiders. All right. Can the Raiders still get in? Can you tell me there's a chance? Yes. Yes. They're six and eight, and they're alive, Kyle. They just scored 63. Well, listen to that. Listen, there's a lot of talk this morning about Brandon Staley on and on. He took some really pointed questions from the reporters afterwards, and I'm not kidding. Watch this. That first half, it's the worst that you can play. And it was in all three phases, and, you know, I take full responsibility. Do you expect to be the coach here tomorrow? I don't know that. Do you think you should be? Yes. Why? I know that what I've done here for three years and I know what I put into this and, you know, I know that we're capable of going. I know the type of coach that I am, I believe in myself. What could you have done differently in preparation to get these guys better prepared to play tonight? Everything. I didn't do anything well enough to get us ready to

play tonight and so if that's the case then why why should you be the coach if that if that

games like this games like this happened in the NFL to every coach that's ever coached

in this league you can look at any great coach that's ever coached in the league sometimes games

like this happen so this is not like a normal occurrence no No, tonight was not a normal occurrence. All the everything that could have gone wrong in all three phases went wrong. All right, well, that was a really tough game and a tough press conference there for Brandon Saly. Now welcoming in our NFL insider Tom Pellisero. Tom, what does the future look like for Brandon Saley after what we saw last night?

Well, Sherry, I think that a lot of times when you're evaluating when a team might make

a potential coaching change, you look at what they've done historically. The Chargers have not

fired a coach in season since 1998 when they dismissed Kevin Gilbrred in favor of June Jones during Ryan

Leif's rookie season. They have in the past allowed their coaches to finish out the season.

Obviously Brandon Staley got the chargers to the playoffs a year ago. He has dealt with a

variety of challenges including injuries during his time there last night,

play without Justin Herbert, Keenan Allen, and Joey Bosa really hasn't played over the past

couple of years. However, when you have a loss like this on national TV, a historic type of

loss with the Raiders putting up a franchise record for points, those are the types of things that sometimes can cause a team to change course.

So certainly we'll be monitoring the status of Brandon Staley in the days and weeks ahead.

We'll see to answer the reporter's question whether the chargers go against what they've done historically and make a move with three games to go.

Sherry?

The front office might also be asking why he deserves to be there. Tom, we really appreciate the time. Thank you. All right, there is a lot to unpack. Obviously, you looked at the charger side of this here. But Peter, for you, what stands out the most in this blowout win? Yeah, you know, I look at Antonio Pierce and the team got shut out last week and it was like,
