Just saying SD should have stopped them, is blatantly simplistic and ignoring the facts and impact of that situation. It was a game deciding bad call.

Not true. Not any team. Last week the Pats stopped the Chiefs for 5 downs at the goal line due to a time out called. We stopped them, but the play didn't count, and they ran 4 more, all of which we stopped. All you have to do was to stop a 2-point conversion. Like it or not, you deserved to lose.
Charger fans are the new Raider fans.
It was the correct call of a bad rule.
You may not like it, but the rule is very clear. You sound like the whiny Raider fans in 2001. (And like in 2001, they will review this rule next March and make no changes.)
I'm hoping Tomlinson grows a pair by next week and doesn't take himself out of the game for an "injury" that any other running back in the league would play through, you might actually beat the Jets. I wouldn't mind seeing the Jets lose another.
I'm sure the Chargers will find a way to blow this one, too. though.
