Wow - what a game for the Broncos this afternoon.  An amazing game to watch and one that I am really thankful to be on the “winning” side.  The Broncos should feel pretty lucky to have this one courtesy of the call at the end of the game (which I chose to not have pictured on this post).  I know its the rule, but it is a stupid rule that the play was dead when the whistle blew.  I can see that when there is a huge scrum for a ball and some players stop when the whistle blew.  But in this one, by the time the ref blew the play dead, the Chargers player was the only one near the ball and virtually had it already in his hands.  As much as my team benefited from it, it would have been nice to give a ref a chance to make a judgment call (see Locker, Jake) instead of having to go just by the letter of the law. The Chargers message boards are a sight to behold tonight though.

Regardless of the actual outcome, it was an incredible game that both teams desreved to win and both deserved to lose.  The Broncos should never have been in the position they were at the end.  Jumping out to a 21-3 lead means that you should be in control the rest of the day.  But instead, we let the Chargers back in the game and realistically should have lost it.  The Chargers made a great comeback, yes, but their defense was pretty bad all game (not that the Broncos’ was anything special either) and could not stop Cutler to Marshall (that’s going to be a nice three-word-combo for many years to come).

Anyway - amazing game and a nice end result.
