I emailed ed hochuli just now. yeah, he messed up. and I know, I have been pretty critical of him in the past two days. but it’s a sign of a pretty stand-up guy to come out to the nation and admit that you made the wrong call. and for the people who are putting the loss completely on his shoulders, you should really place the blame on the charger’s pass defense. if we didn’t allow brandon marshall and tony sheffler to rack up all those receptions, we would have been in prime position to win the game for the whole game.
I told him just that. I also added in that I hope he never has to ref another game in san diego. just for his own personal safety.
Very true. But let’s face it: it’s just plain easier to blame someone else.
And! an apology wouldn’t change the Charger’s record for this season to 1-1.
Like I said though, I still respect him. And, sort of feel bad for the guy now, what with all the crap that’s been thrown at him.
Besides, it’s still early in the season and it’s not like the Chargers couldn’t (and haven’t already have done so) make it to the play offs with such a crappy start.
(I don’t know, however, if he’d have to worry about his own safety coming to San Diego, though. He looks like he could probably hold his own.)
