Comments on: Ed Hochuli’s Massive Arms Can’t Save Him Now http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/ed-hochulis-massive-arms-cant-save-him-now-19915 Celebrity sports gossip since 2001 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 09:49:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: Gary V http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/ed-hochulis-massive-arms-cant-save-him-now-19915#comment-3715 Gary V Wed, 17 Sep 2008 04:15:41 +0000 http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/ed-hochulis-massive-arms-cant-save-him-now-19915#comment-3715 Maybe you're right about a professional team being able to put the call behind them quickly. It was obviously big enough call to make a splash bigger than the single game itself (quick whistle rule will be reviewed in the offseason, hochuli to be downgraded). I don't think anyone on the chargers accused stripes of favoritism, they just commented on how big the 2 calls were.

I can understand a high school team, and maybe a college team, folding under the weight of momentum (poor us! The stripes are out to get us!). I can expect (and do expect) a team of professional football players (and coaches) to put a bad call, a really really bad call, behind them fast enough to focus on the play about to happen. A play where, if they execute, they can win the game right now. They failed, twice. The bad call is just one of many things that happened to the Chargers where, had any of them gone another way, they coulda won. I can't let them off the hook.

Once you give any team a mulligan on such a bonehead play, they are going to have obvious momentum going into the next play, and the team on the other end is going to be completely deflated. You can't expect any team to recover from 2 disastrous referee errors during a game, especially when they ended up being 2 touchdowns. Get a clue.

Wonder if it has anything to do with who is signing his paycheck. The Hammer didn’t like the call? Wonder if it has anything to do with who is signing his paycheck.

But the game was not decided on that play, as Norv Turner would have you believe. Had the Bolts stopped 'em on 4th and goal or on the 2-pt conversion (or gotten a turnover on 3rd and goal, for that matter), this fades into obscurity. Get over it, peoples.

And that was just in the second quarter. Didn't get to hear Hank's reaction to that non-fumble, but I bet the boys back in the studio had their fingers ready on the bleep button.
