I was just watching some NFL Network highlights and they showed the end of the DEN/SD game. DEN got a TD to make it 37-36 and if they kicked the extra point it would have been tied and they would have gone to OT.

Instead Shanahan went for 2 and they made it and won by 1 point.

That takes some jumbo sized balls.

I'm guessing he did it because the Chargers were reeling from getting *****ed up the ass two plays earlier. I wanted Denver to win but that was disgusting. Hochuli should voluntarily not be paid for the travesty he imposed on the league today.

Maybe he figured he was playing with house money anyways LOL

I think he was telling Norv Turner "Look, we know got a gift with the non-fumble but all you have to do is stop 2pt conversion and you win. No whining after the game. Just man up now and win this play".

Well, Norv and the Chargers chose to whine instead of winning the game.

How was that not a fumble? Anyway I won my office pool thanks to that game, 130 dollars richer tomorrow. But yeah, I loved the call, just like the title of the thread. Balls of steel.

Because the numb nut ref blew the whistle and called it incomplete making the play dead immediately.

From what I was reading, there was a play earlier when the Chargers got hosed but they couldn't replay because of equipment issues.

Yeah, that cost them a TD too. If that happened to the Patriots I can't imagine what I would have done. I hate the Chargers but . . .

It was a non-reviewable play anyway. It was considered a simultaneous catch. They said even if the equipment was working, the ref couldn't review it.

I watched that game and Cutler threw an errant throw in Denver's series before that series and threw a pick to Antoine Cason in the chargers end zone that would have all but ended SDs chances so when Denver was able to get the ball back, Shanahan decided to give Cutler the all time big confidence factor by not only having him have to throw on 4th down for the winning TD but win it with a 2 pointer throw
- He did it to inflict confidence in his young QB and no better way then to show confidence in his QB abilities than to go for the win which may go along ways in Cutler's confidence this season

Cutler has guts too and showed it today,I like the kid and the fact he has a destructive disease like Diabetes playing a game as demanding as this makes him a guy you have to like a bit

Plus Shanahan is one of the smartest coaches in the game second to Belichick and his decision was a smart one of the sake of his QB

I think if Cassel is in the same situation down the road BB does similar
