Mike Shanahan has stood up for the refs in Sundays Chargers-Broncos game. Broncos coach Mike Shanahan said after finishing his usual postgame officials report for the NFL, he felt head referee Ed Hochuli and his crew did a fine job officiating the game Sunday at Invesco Field.
"This was the best crew that we've had in the last 20 crews I've graded," Shanahan said. "They did a heckuva job."
Whoa coach, let's not get ahead of ourselves, you benefitted from a blown call, and the best comment about the refs would have probably been no comment at all. That's not your M.O., you were the guy who gave Travis Henry a lie detector test to prove he wasn't smoking weed again, which he was but you needed him so you halped him out of a jam and your team out of one.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the league's competition committee would look into altering the rule at season's end. But that doesn't help the Chargers now, and it probably won't prevent the occasional bum call from affecting a game in the future.
"Every game that you see that's within a point or a field goal you can go back and there might a non-call, there might be a call — that's the nature of this game," Shanahan said. "You've got to find a way to win. We've still got third-and-10. We've still got to get it in the end zone. Third-and-10, fourth-and-4 and then we've got to make a 2-point. It's not like somebody gave you a touchdown."

If they had lost on a bad call, Hochuli's a dumbass
ok babe, u win. i used to like denver dunno what happened i think it was a mean spirited fan that turned me off them ;0
If they had lost over the same kind of call, Shanahan is ripping the refs not talking about how great a job they did.
very true!!
the refs union etc.. are standing behind their boy who's in trouble. that doesn't really surprise me though, that's what they are for!
Hochuli has at least said he made a mistake and has accepted whatever punishment the league sees fit to dole out to him. That's a rare thing today.
Headin' to Starbucks, want anything?
i only drink organic coffee dear, so no thank u LMAO!
