Meltdown

Chargers (players, coaches and fans) are out for Ed Hoculi's blood, but there are a few things that need to be remembered.

Last year against the Colts there was an equally bad call, having to do with a ball that bounced off a receiver's leg and not the ground, that went in the Chargers' favor. Nobody minded the ref blowing that call.

The call on our two-yard line was not some great defensive play that we were robbed of. Cutler dropped the ball. Had he merely thrown incomplete, the ball would have been placed at our two, not our ten. We didn't "deserve" anything here. Get over it.

Had the defense not missed a couple of dozen tackles, and left an equal number of Denver receivers uncovered, those two calls would not have mattered. The defense stunk. Don't blame the loss on the refs for two calls, neither of which were scoring plays. The defense gave up 39 points.
