09.15.08 MONDAY SUCK-OFF: IT WAS A FUMBLE
It was the Sunday of the large squandered lead, as the Packers, Vikings, and Broncos saw large advantages evaporate, though only the Vikings sucked enough to allow that to result in a loss. Minnesota dominated all aspects of their game against Indianapolis except those that associated with the complete ineptitude of quarterback Tarvaris Jackson,
Of course, many teams managed to suck without even bothering to blow leads. The Chiefs, a team to be commended for their Tom Brady-injuring abilities, got dominated by the Raiders and their lame duck coach. The Jaguars, despite being a preseason Super Bowl contender, fell to the Bills at home to drop to 0-2. The Jets’ vaunted new attack only managed 10 points in their 8th straight home loss to the Patriots. Seattle committed two red zone turnovers and gave up over 300 yards passing to, yes, J.T. O’Sullivan. Last year’s breakout Pro Bowl QB, Derek Anderson, threw two critical interceptions in the Browns’ 10th straight loss to the Steelers. The Rams were to able to hang around against the Giants well into the third quarter before getting blown away 41-13. And the Dolphins lost by three scores to Arizona, which was heretofore thought impossible.
But all those suck jobs pale in comparison to the one put on by Ed Hochuli in Denver. Eddie Guns blew the whistle prematurely on Jay Cutler’s obvious fumble, rendering the play unable to be fumbled, after the review equipment failed earlier in the game. I’d chastise him further, but he’d probably snap my head off.

Jay Cutler just forgot to take his medication for the ‘beetus before the play.
I would’ve been ok with giving both teams the loss, truthfully.
As sad as it is, every time I saw the Raiders score, I couldn’t help but wonder if the Raiders were actually playing well or if the Chiefs were really that bad.

Nobody circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills!
Redux: No doubt it’s the later. When you have two teams that awful (see also Miami-Arizona), someone’s gotta to come out as the relative victor.
yes, it was a fumble but I dont care. I hate the Chargers. Philip Rivers is a queer.
McFadden! Yes! Superbowl here we come!
I hope the Chargers or the Broncos burn. Burn in hell.
My favorite part was when Jeremy Shockey gave Jim Zorn a hummer.
if the chiefs team plane could have somehow crashed into the field during the chargers/broncos game, i’d still be celebrating in the streets.
I’d be happy about that too, ognihs, but the Raiders would still find a way to blow it and lose the division.
The Colts come back to win in the 4th and the Chargers get fucked in their collective ass by the officials? Beautiful.
Go Raiders!
In the Chargers - Broncos game on that play where the review equipment didn’t work; yah, that was a terrible call. And not just b/c they weren’t able to review it, but that line judge shouldn’t be working the NFL if he things there was enough time to strip a ball under those circumstances. The safety net of a coach’s challenge shouldn’t allow officials to make B.S. calls like that.
That was the REAL bad call against San Diego this weekend.
