It is over. The Chargers played a very good game. Either team could have claimed a victory, and the Chargers did. Great defense, and a great running offense (Rivers is a little punk, but that's another blog).
But you can never, EVER utter the phrase "Ed Hochuli Call" or just "Hochuli Call" again. You all played that to the hilt throughout the season, to the point many of us thought a shipment of Xanax was called for. But after two ticky-tack calls resulting in drive extending first downs in OT, and one complete phantom call (the defensive holding - well within the 5 yards allowed for contact and NOT a hold anyways) were not the way you want to see a playoff game decided.
Good luck through the rest of the playoffs. But please don't ever lean on that horribly overused phrase again. Fortune has more than made up for whatever harm (little) was caused back in that inconsequential early season game.
Side note: this was doubly painful - having to watch my beloved Colts lose AND listen to Al Michaels throughout the game. What a putz - the king of strained/tangential analogies. We GET it Al, you fancy yourself an intellectual (were that the case, you likely wouldn't have to strain to make the case - so cut it the #$*& out!).
