We saw today that maybe Staley isn’t a savior w/o Donald at full speed.
Staley built the defense on two pillars, Donald and Ramsey. A down game against the #1 offense when your main pillar is injured is nothing to be ashamed about or a negative mark on his record.
It would be surprising if they didn't have a down game. It's like you're expecting your house to not move and the walls to hold up as normal when an earthquake occurs and cracks the foundation. Silly!! Of course, there will be major, visible damage and that's not a negative reflection on the architect.
I doubt the league's decision-makers factor this one game in much, if at all.
