Im not saying that the Chargers lost because:
- the broncos home video replay was somehow 'inoperable' on a call that would obviously be overturned in favor of the chargers for a crucial turnover. or
- Ed 'check out my guns' Hochuli blows what was obviously a fumble recovered by the Chargers as dead. or
- the broncos were obviously coached to 'chop block' as seen by the double team chop block earlier in the game. (those dont just happen). or
- every possible penalty that could be called against Cromartie was called
but it really comes down to the other 24 + points the broncos scored at will against a more than mediocre Charger defense this year. The team came out flat again and lost again. The penalties stacked up. Those are coaching issues. Calling 2 time outs early in the 2nd half. Coaching issues. (with two time outs at the end of the game a field goal would have been much more likely possible).
Darren Sproles was fantastic and LT was hurt again. Everyone thought he could be more durable than the 8 year curse for RB's but it doesn't look like it. Enjoy LT this year because if this keeps up he will be retiring after this year.
The game was stolen from the Chargers. There has to be an investigation into the game clock errors and the video replay but it was only open to be stolen because,
quite frankly, if you cant stop a 2 point conversion in the NFL you probably shouldnt be winning close games.
But then again, the Chargers did win that game if it wasnt for that call, which isnt in dispute, Hochuli admitted the mistake during the game.
