The Denver offense could be something to look for in the post-season. Eddie Royal is a monster and Brandon Marshall is equally effective.

Indeed.

In the end, the game is played by men and officiated by men who make mistakes. If you're the Chargers you should have never left the game up to one bad call.

The AFC has taken a dive so far this season.

The AFC hasn't so much taken a dive as the teams that have been powers for awhile are getting overtaken by other teams. We'll see what happens, but it's too early to tell.

The Broncos and Bills have been a couple of surprise teams thus far, while the Jags, Chargers, Colts, and Pats are looking to be disappointments (though the Pats have a good excuse). Most of these losses have occurred AFC vs AFC though, so it's well within reason to believe it's just a power shift in the conference.

Well, I disagree. Two games come to mind in week one.

Bears taking care of the Colts.

Carolina taking care of San Diego.

Minnesota was up by 15 but lost to the Colts today. The Colts shouldn't be winning that game by the skin of their teeth.

That was clearly a bad call by Ed H.

He had a few bad ones in last week's game against both teams (Giants/Skins).

However, Denver deserved to win that game. They showed some guts.

I was counting on The S.D/Denver Game and The Browns/Steelers. I was praying to God that The steelers would kick a field goal, just to help cover the spreed. :doh:

The were both down to the wire games, and were exciting to watch, but both outcomes hurt me :lol:

I'd beat him into quitting if I were to run into him.

...well respected and done a great job. To his credit he went right over to Norvell and said he effed up.

As I say, the league HAS to address this; getting calls right. There is no reason for refs to be in a hurry to blow a play dead given replay.

Unless Ed had a fiver on the Broncs...

:evil:

Who cares if he said he effed up. His whistle should be taken away. No sausage bread for him.
