Gambling Broncos stun Chargers with late 2-point conversion
Playing with house money, Mike Shanahan went for the 2-point conversion with 29 seconds left and Jay Cutler hit rookie Eddie Royal over the middle to give the Denver Broncos a 39-38 win over the stunned San Diego Chargers on Sunday.

Chargers say referees should be held accountable, too - The Gazette, Colorado Springs, Colo.

DENVER - The San Diego Chargers were steaming mad, incredibly dumfounded and adamantly demanding accountability from officials they felt cost them a win Sunday against the Denver Broncos.

Chargers report: Notes, quotes
--Keep an eye on running back LaDainian Tomlinson's injured toe

Chargers report: Strategy and personnel
Jyles Tucker has played in but seven regular-season games and now the undrafted rookie is asked to fill a considerable role left by Shawne Merriman's absence

Chargers report: Inside slant
It's one and done for Chargers Pro Bowl linebacker Shawne Merriman

An 0-2 start likely curtains for playoff aspirants -- except one
Teams can reach the playoffs, even win the Super Bowl, after starting 0-2. But Clark Judge says five teams should be worried not because of starting that way but because of how they got there -- and adds another that likely will be just fine.

League to lower referee Hochuli's grade after blown call
Ed Hochuli's acknowledgement that he erred on a call late in Sunday's San Diego-Denver game will mean lower grades for one of the NFL's highest profile referees.

League: Hochuli to be downgraded, rule to be reviewed
Ed Hochuli's acknowledgement that he erred on a call late in Sunday's San Diego-Denver game will mean lower grades for one of the NFL's highest profile referees.

Comedy = Tragedy + Time 

Maybe it's too early Chargers fan, but this made me laugh...albeit that laughter was quickly replaced with bitterness.

Norv Turner was livid after the game about that call, but the bigger scope that he needed to review was that defense.  It was torched in the first half big time.  I am not quite clear if the Chargers made the right adjustments or the Broncos just sat on the score.  ...(more)

 I have a headache thinking about that Denver game and would rather block it out like patients who suffer severe psychological trauma do.  I just recall the Chargers losing a close game and the fact that they could easily be 2-0 right now instead of 0-2. 

Anyway, I never would have dreamed it before the seaso ...(more)

All right. After a night of sleep and listening to commentators here in Chicago and nationally, there is no doubt the Chargers got screwed on that call. I have yet to hear a person say it was a good call, and there is no doubt at all that had the call been made correctly on the field, the Chargers would have won. I am still frustrated ab ...(more)

Come on guys. Blaming a loss on the refs is childish. Maybe Cutler DID fumble. But did the Chargers let the Broncos march down the field at the end of the game because they KNEW he would? No. Had they called it a fumble, SD would've won because they got a lucky break. But no. ...(more)

There was some good to come out of the loss, mostly that Philip Rivers can rally his team. But the concern has to be with the defense. It got handled.
