    What a game. 38-31, Denver scores to make it 38-37.

    Denver goes for 2 and gets it.

    39-38 right now.

    :24 seconds left.

    The idiot announcers proclaiming "BRONCOS WIN!" let's hope the Chargers get a FG now.

    Wow Cutler is good. The Broncos are young and even though anyone can run the ball there, if they get a top RB they will have a nasty offense for a long time.

    The Genius had a senior moment. You don't go for 2 at home in that situation.

    that was horrible call on that fumble though, inadvertant whistle or not. it was clearly a fumble and clearly recovered by SD. It just sucks for them that they lose because a ref blew a whistle too soon. SD should have won that game, and intead the most they will get is an apology from the league.

    bad call? yes.

    sole reason they lost? no.

    they had control of the situation and could have stopped:

    a. a fourth down and goal at the 6
    b. a two-point conversion

    they did neither and I have a hard time feeling like a team deserved to win in those circumstances.

    you are correct in everything you say, but if the play is ruled a fumble recovery, SD only has to kneel 3 times to run out the clock. The broncos made a play to lose the game for them, but they got a second chance when they did nothing to deserve it. SD had 2 more chances to stop them and win the game, but they shouldn't have needed them.

    You can say that all you want, but in the NFL, the margin of error is very slim. The Chargers got burned on not 1, but 2 plays that should've been overturned. And like it or not, those were the differences in the game of 2 equally matched teams.

    The inadvertent whistle is the lamest call in all of sports. I don't care when the whistle blew, once the replay showed it to be a fumble and SD recovered, it should've been their ball. Period. What's the purpose of even having replay if you can't make the right call?

    You obviously didn't like the calls, but the correct call was made in both instances.
