I don't understand how thinking the head coach not flying back with the team, except for extenuating circumstances like family/health emergencies, is fine. Him not being there creates a disjointed work environment/culture, especially with how this situation played out as the cherry on top.

If that's the case, why hold anyone on the team to any professional standards at all? Talk is cheap, it's those who walk the walk and lead by example that generally lead to successful outcomes.

Like I said in my previous post, people and players will most definitely "blow off steam" whenever and wherever they please, but there is still a professional standard that the majority of people in the NFL understand to engage in especially DURING the season - let alone in the middle of the week coming off a loss.

I had a feeling Urban was walking on thin ice when this came out and my fear for this team was that the players lose trust and respect for him as a coach, with all accountability and leadership dissipated because of this nonsense.

It's basically like "if our head coach is wild'n out in the middle of the week, why am I held to different standards/rules?" - and the player(s) proceed to do detrimental things that normally wouldn't occur or negatively affect them and the team.
