Agreed. As much as I hate the Broncos at times, I've always liked Cutler.

Kind of off topic, but I work at a restaurant in Denver and his wife called in an order for take out tonight... not that I was really excited or anything.

yep sd got royally screwed over today

if you saw the first screw job in the 1st half, you'd know it wasn't a simultaneous catch, chambers had the ball and was downed and champ then stripped it out


funny how the replay equipment broke down for that one play, and funny how the ref blows a whistle on a fumble lol

even if the ref thought it was a pass attempt...the ball went backwards


what competent ref blows a whistle in that situation? a gambling one lol

I don't care that he's one of the highest ranking refs, he'd be taking (at least) a one week unpaid vacation if I were the Commissioner.

i wish Dan Pees had at least 1/8th the size of Shanahans balls and would blitz more...

That was pretty impressive by Shanny AKA The Rat but you know if they didnt convert it he would have gotten destroyed by the fans and media. It was exciting gotta give props to the Donkeys, but that was soooo a fumble by Culter.

Definitely. The officiating today was an abomination.

They got screwed over yes. But they could have stopped them on 4th down OR the 2pt conversion. They didn't lose the game on that play. Denver still had to make two more plays to win that game.

Speaking of plays like that, going for 2 at the end of the game, it's a great call, especially in a 38-38 game where you don't want to give the other team the ball when you haven't played good defense.

I was wondering about our game last week. Would Herm have gone for 2? Probably not because it was Herm. And we weren't lighting it up offensively. But if Brady was playing in the same situation, I think it's a no-brainer.

Probably right, but ole' Norvo the clown is gonna be a little poorer this week. He pretty much called Ed out in his post-game presser and laid into him. He was right, but you know the comish is gonna fine him. Then again, perhaps he won't if he just figured that being handed an undeserved L is punishment enough.

I like Ed Hochuli usually, but he did not bring his A game today

From what I heard from Norvel didn't go far enough. He should have explained over about 15 minutes what an embarrassment this crap is to the league, etc, etc, etc, and earned himself about $100K in fines. He should have called out Jolly Roger to immediately suspend Hochuli. They specifically told the refs to quit blowing the whistle so quickly, I think it was last year, so this sh!t doesn't happen. The refs can't just say "sorry" and move on.
