Second guesses: Bad calls could cost Chargers 2008-09-15
Well, you have to feel for the Chargers. Two bad officiating calls cost them a game in Denver. Chargers Coach Norv Turner called Ed Hochuli's explanation of blowing his whistle and then ruling Jay Cutler's failed passing attempt an incompletion rather than a fumble "totally unacceptable." That call, plus another change of possession call that gave Denver the ball after the Chargers had just completed a pass, could end up costing the Chargers the AFC West. Last season, San Diego outscored the Broncos by almost nine touchdowns in their two games. Now, the Chargers could be minus LaDainian Tomlinson, every league's top fantasy pick, and they are already without Shawne Merriman, one of the game's best pass rushers. It won't be easy for Turner and his team.
