obviously i am a chargers fan, but let me just say this:
if the replacement refs called that game and the same flags, people would be going wild.
obviously the chargers missed to finish the game, but i really didnt like two game changing plays that were aided by the refs. people go left and right and defend the pass rusher on these chin hits if its a guy like mike vick or roethlisberger, but you cannot touch brees and all these type of guys. swinging a pick six around for that? tough.
and if you call OPI on gates, you better call DPI on the interception. i would prefer to call none, to be honest, but you gotta be consistent.
bottom line is that this was a bad time to play the saints. they were pumped up to win for brees and the record, for payton in the stands and all that. chargers will have to show next week what they are really worth. big big game, could really shape up the division
