I realize the Chargers got pretty much every call going their way in the game yesterday. It was a pleasant departure from how most of the season has gone with the refs.
But....I realize there was a clock issue, yet cannot understand why the Raiders got to pretend a second down play that lost 3 yards and kept the clock running was just called a do-over by the Refs and the clock was not only stopped, they added more time to it? I have never seen that in 40 years of football watching. One of the refs is assigned to watch the clock; it's his fault. Why punish the Chargers?
Then right after that, a Raider lineman false starts so bad he is 3 yards in the backfield. The refs wave it off because someone (likely one of the 42000 raider fans who seemed to be in the stands) blew a whistle? Sheesh.
