That call was just to make them seem neutral. Yep! Holding SD!

They better not play that "I blew that call. It wasn't even close" commercial any time soon.

It's a shame that such a big game is being ruined by such shitty officiating

Colts gifted PI, Chargers gifted make-up call, Colts get another make up call. Net result, 15 yards for the Colts. Can we play football now?

Not sure how that shot to the face was a "make up call". Or can make up calls be legit? No matter, first down Chargers

Crap, my internet signal has become kind of crappy for some reason. Guess it's radio only for now. Hope it is back up strong for the Cowboy game.

I don't think that there is any fix, but the officiating has been awful this game, and has been favouring the Colts by a large margin.

However, there is a lot of time for them to fuck up many more calls and maybe some of those will go in the Chargers way.

The fix is definitely in. Terrible officials, injuries to key players, it's just what the NFL and the Patriots are setting up for next week.

No. I actually have one at home but I stopped taking it on the truck a few years ago. This would be the only time I would have use for it so it would just take up space. Plus, what I can get over the internet is usually better quality then fuzzy TV signal.

I honestly don't think a Colts/Patriots AFC Championship game would bring ratings THAT much better than Chargers/Patriots. There's plenty of people tired of Pats/Colts.

Oh cool - you have reliable internet in the truck then?

Sorry, I'm fascinated by the trucking life - I should take it up in your other thread though.

They're not going to overturn that - why burn a TO in a game like this?

I hate it when announcers say "you have to challenge a play that important", when it's obvious what the outcome will be.

Norv Turner - king of pointless challenges. Not like we are going to need any time-outs in a 4 point game or anything.

Wow... that was real close by Gonzales. Not sure if they have enough to overturn.

That looked out from that one angle but I highly doubt that it will be overturned. Not sure if it is conclusive enough and with the way the calls have been going in the Colts favour I would expect things to stay that way.

Never mind - looks in from the other angle.

Awful challenge - does someone even look at the play on replay before they throw the flag?

I have a SPrint Aircard or whatever it is called. Works pretty good if I am in an area with Ev-do signal, the faster signal. If it is normal 'cell' signal it can be painfully slow. All cities I go to seem to have it though.

This is just this year though. Before this I had nothing and was fine with it because I was home every weekend. I would occasionally find a hotspot to jump on though. Major truck stops offer wifi, but it costs the same as normal home internet and I use my Sprint card usually miles from a truck stop.

I think it was close enough that you had to challenge - and you gotta believe they weren't showing any replays in the stadium.

You do know that each team has a replay coach that watches the replay before telling the coach whether to challenge or not?

I don't think Norv even asks. He has a history of some of the worst challenge calls I have ever seen. It's like "screw it, I'm a shitty coach, so let's try and catch a break here to make up for it"

And Volek continues at QB. Stick a fork in the Bolts.

I don't see how you "have to" when it's 100% obvious you're blowing a timeout.

hey at least SD has a decent backup-qb with some legit NFL experience. I'm actually not all that worried about Volek back there...although Rivers was lighting it up in this game

I didn't see this, but I find it amusing considering LT is sitting on the bench injured too. He seems like a nice guy off the field, but on the field he seems like a whiner.
