I never say this about a team not named the Cowboys but I feel for the Chargers. Even Norv to an extent. He may get fired when his team honestly has lost games due to officiating. I hate saying that because I don't think refs can make or break you regardless of how many bad calls they make but its not the amount of bad calls they make. Its the key ones. They simply kill the Chargers.

Can this be another chargers loss in the last few seconds of a game.

You have to blame coaching for that.

Ok what is going on with these Refs... I am really serious.


They were just about to measure the 1st down for Colts with less than a minute to go.

The Ref is on the ground with the ball.
The chains are in.
THEN....

Another Ref comes in and moves the ball away from 1st down line by about 2 inches.

THAT adjustment made it NOT a 1st down.


How the heck can THAT referee come in and make THAT kind of adjustment???

Unbelievable.

they called the Chargers for 2 or 3 dubious PI calls...they missed a blatant pick play on the Colts first TD...it was right in the open and easy for anyone to see, and the Colt WR (Waye I think) just lowered his shoulder into the DB...I know you can call holding alot, but I bet you could legimately call the Colts OL"s for half a dozen or more OBVIOUS one's per week.

I've been saying it for 2 or 3 yrs, but the NFL refs get more and more NBA-like every yr

There was a booth replay since it was within the last 2 minutes. After the review they adjusted the spot of the ball.

and they still spotted it wrong as fyi...it ended up not mattering because the Colts passed for an easy first down, but they still got it wrong.

I think what he is referring to (and what many also noticed) is the guy who had the best call on spoting it was overruled by somebody who couldnt have possibly had any clue to where the ball was actually supposed to be. Thats the issue.

The Chargers have had a bad time with bad calls this year. It's so weird to think how different their year would be right now with some of these calls going their way.
