Toe in, heel out. I agree. I can say ok they got that right. Although I don't really agree with it. If Price hops up (off is toe), rather than just come down its a completed pass? The nonPI on Reed; I can definitely blame the refs on. Its their job to wath the game and know what's going on. The ball wasn't tipped and yet they "thought" it was. You say it looked tipped to you - live. To me, it didn't. That's a call you have to conclude the refs screwed. Before either of those, however, what about the pass to Evans. The defender clearly ran into him forcing him off his route. How is that acceptable? I know they both have a right to go after the ball, but the defender can't run through the receiver to get the ball, no more than the receiver can.

I'm not saying its just us. All I'm saying is in this game, on this day, the refs clearly called the game in SD's favor. I agree, they blow a call or 2 here and there and it all usually evens out. But on our series in the 4th quarter: 1st pass, Evans is bumped and forced off his route clearly before the ball is there. No Penalty. 2nd pass, Price comes down with his toe in bounds, then his heel lands out. No catch. (I'd actually, give that to the refs, if you want). 3rd pass. Reed is clearly interferred with before the ball is there. No penalty. The claim the ball was tipped??? That's one series, 2 key plays. All went in favor of SD. And 2 were very obvious PI calls, that in most any other game or situation are called. But today they weren't.

Purposefully, or not; they did it. That's all I know. Did Shotty stick a wad of cash in Hockalugee's pants? Did the league make the decision? Do the refs just hate being in Buffalo so they blow calls? I don't know, I just know that no way was that game called fairly. Even my wife, who only casually watches the games was questioning many of those calls/non calls. When she notices it, its pretty damn obvious.

Dude, when you're arguement is: he's good, but these TWO guys, together, are just as good; you're not making you're point. When it takes 2 guys to equal the play of 1 guy, that's the definition of the 1 guy being pretty darn good.

And then it continued in the second half.

They got multiple calls wrong. Key calls. And tried to change others, that final TD being one. You cannot honestly say the refs didn't give the Chargers the benefit of every possible doubt. I've already seen 2 PI calls in the Cowboys/Giants game that had far less contact than the Chargers had on us. Yet they were'nt called. The extra time out before the half? The fumble we recovered that they allowed the charger to wrestle away and then give to them? The JP pass that tey called back because his knee was down, but it wasn't? That's just off the top of my head. I'm all for calling the refs out when they skew a game in favor of one team. And that's exactly what they did today.

No way a pooch goes uncovered. The onside kick was the only option. It really wouldn't have mattered, however. Regardless of the outcome of that kick, we were predetermined to lose that game. Hell the refs had to conference up just to allow the Price TD, when that was as obvious a catch as you could ask for in that situation.

That's 1 of at least 5 plays, they screwed us on. I was going back to count up, but lost count in the 3rd quarter when the refs were pulling every trick possible to give SD the ball.

JP played a hell of a game today. He made some bad throws, for sure. I actually think the cold weather affected him. However, he fought the whole game and with a few great 3rd down scrambles kept a few drives going. He also lead down the field in the 2 minute drill and scored (which baffles me even more why they don't do that before the half). So, I'd say a solid game by JP.

Ed Hockmeup earned a big Christmas Bonus.

Nope, no review.

That play was clearly a fumble. And the replay clearly showed Hargrove on the ground with 2 hands on the ball, with the ball between his legs and a Charger all over him. Result... Charger's ball. It was BS.

A fair amount. I'd put them right behind te refs's blown calls and piss poor decisions.

Isn't it a penalty for the coach to run onto the field and scream at the refs?

Gotta get aggressive on those final drives before the half. Those 7 points are huge at the end of the game. Then, they've got to donate heavily to the Referee's Christmas party. Because it's obvious the refs don'tcall the game equally for us and opposing teams. Do those 2 things, and we have a playoff run next year.

He needs to go knock Hockerbitch in the friggin mouth! That's what I'd do. If they're gonna give the game up, we might as well take one of them down with us.

Too little too late from the refs. They've already given this game away.

Now we take the knee. Content with a 17 point deficit.

This score is totally on Jauron and his chickenshit play calling!

Dooooomed!

Any time you see a QB with 50+ attempts, its usually a loss. That is not a winning game plan, never has been. That's usually a team trying to catch up. To say that you want to see what Losman can do, so let him throw on every down suggests that you can't see what he can do in 25-30 attempts. In the last 2 weeks, I think we've all seen what JP can do. He's had good yardage on a good number of attempts; he's managed the game well; and led the team when needed. If you're still not sold on him, I doubt you ever will. Given it'll be windy, perhaps wet (snow), and we want to keep their offense off the field; to call a gameplan that's throwing the ball 40+ times is a recipe for a loss.

As opposed to all those great defensive games that shut down our opponents? You are watching the Bills each week, right? (that was a rhetorical question) I'd agree I don't think it'll be a low scoring game, although keeping the Colts to 17 points gives hope. However, I'm thinking a mid to low 20's.

Agreed. This list is complete garbage. How can Cutler even be on it?

Absolutely. I think this should be printed in the program.

If they score 35, we lose. Simple as that.
