Oh gosh...I don't subscribe to conspiracy theories generally. And I'm not this time. Hochuli's call was All-Time bad, but it really didn't do anything except make the season more interesting for the Chargers and allowed us to extract some vengeance in the form of a last-game butt-kicking of those same Broncos which got us into playoffs.
Hochuli can CERTAINLY be blamed, if you will, for that call (and that loss), but generally those things even out through the course of a season.
By the way, how does one judge a "good" referee? By the fact that he lifts weights? I don't think Hochuli stands out among the other refs in the League. But maybe I just don't know what to look for.

Ed Hochuli's acknowledgement that he erred on a call late in Sunday's San Diego-Denver game will mean lower grades for one of the NFL's highest profile referees.
"Officials are held accountable for their calls. They are graded on every play of every game," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Monday. "Ed has been an outstanding official for many years, but he will be marked down for this call. Under our evaluation system, an official's grades impact his status for potentially working the playoffs and ultimately whether or not he is retained."Hashtag thepowderblues
