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.
Because the numb nut ref blew the whistle and called it incomplete making the play dead immediately.
Of all the teams we play this season, the Denver game worries me the most. I think that one could get really ugly for us.
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.
The point was made earlier that the blown call(s) had NOTHING to do with the outcome of the game.
The point was made earlier that the blown call(s) had NOTHING to do with the outcome of the game. The game was won when the Chargers failed to stop Cutler's pass to the end zone, and then again on the ensuing 2-point conversion. All San Diego has to do is stop either play, and they win.
Same could be said of any of the other Denver drives. Just stop one, and the Chargers win.
This game came down to execution, and the Norvettes failed to live up to their own hype. Plain. Simple. Fact.
I am NO fan of Denver, but they won this games without help from the Refs. All that is accomplished by focusing on the mis-calls is you are handing a crutch to the Chargers and their fans that distracts from the real reasons for the loss: Failure to execute, especially by the vaunted SD defense.
I just can't get upset about the ref blowing a call, even when it happens to the Patriots, which it does. It happens, and the way that a team reacts to it and either overcomes it or succumbs to it says a great deal about the caliber of both the players and the coaching staff.
Respects,
I'm guessing he did it because the Chargers were reeling from getting f*cked 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.
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.
that's about right...i was watching that live on tv and couldn't believe it...at least he admitted his mistake, but i don't think we'll see Ed in the post season this year...and i doubt he'll ref another Chargers game for a long, long time...worst call i've seen in years.
i did have a slightly different take on shanahan's decision...i thought there was almost a schoolyard element to it..."ok, we both know that this game should be over, but you got effed by the ref, now i'll put the game on the line, straight up between us...you stop us, you win; you don't, you lose..."
