Horrendous spot 2 yards short, no PI on blatant PI in the endzone, PI called and then dismissed.

NFL!

This game tonight is far more important to Denver and they have to play it on short rest after a Sunday night game.
This game is the shittiest scheduling for Denver all season. I highly doubt they were glad to see it when the schedule came out.

The home team has won all but one Thursday night game this year. If this game was in San Diego it might be bad scheduling. If this is the shitiest game on Denver's schedule, sign me up. Denver has five of their first seven games at home, before cold weather hits. Conversely they hit the road when the weather turns bad.

Are you implying that the schedule was rigged, or just that Denver got lucky?
 
And is there evidence that teams off the mini-bye get any benefit?  The actual bye certainly didn't help the Bengals a few weeks ago...

Meh, 300 days of sunshine out here. You might get one cold game before January.

I paused my DVR for 30 seconds and then fast forwarded. I'd rather scare my dog too much with my language.

I'm not implying anything. I am saying that the NFL will do anything it possibly can to set up the optimal chance to get Peyton his second ring. Will they fix games? No. But will the lions share of calls by the refs go in his favor? Just look at tonight. And how many other bad weather teams get five of their first seven games at home? Lets count up how many times the Broncos crossing patterns dont result in OPI.

When Peyton played in Indy, the NFL changed the fucking rules for his benefit. When you see it happen over and over and over, coincidence seems to be less likely.

Unbelievably embarrassing officiating. Good thing it's a Thursday and no one's watching ...

That's about as bad a call on that defensive holding as it gets.  Just terrible.  Completely ruined any chance San Diego had of getting back into it.
 
I don't think they can overturn the TD.  Not sure if he crossed the plain as he spun around, but also not sure he didn't.
