Hemi:
The ref needs to have some way out of his bad call in some rare situations.

I understand that guys heard the whistle blow and didn't go after the ball, but if we can be honest, the Chargers were the only ones there and would have came up with the ball 99 times out of 100. I think we are better off assuming that much and making it so than just leaving a totally screwed play stand.

Hemi:
I saw that before, but it was still great that you posted that here and now.  :laugh2:

shardian:
Just read on espn that the league will consider debating a rule change based on this play in the off-season. Much like the 'down by contact' rule. I think it is a bad call on their part to debate a rule on 'inadvertent whistles' for reasons already stated here. Its a freak play, and the whistle should stay the way it is. The only thing the league needs to do is make sure refs understand to hold off blowing their whistle on plays like that. Let the situation play itself out and then make a ruling.

shardian:
It's also on record that hockuli walked over to Norv Turner and basically said "I blew it, I'm sorry".  :laugh2:
