Both of those penalties were terrible.  Even the defensive holding was shit.  Both players were fighting inside the five yard chuck zone, which was legal, and the pass interference call may have been one of the worst calls of the post-season so far, which is obviously saying a lot.  Something really needs to be done about the officiating in this league soon.  It's really getting bad, and like this one, it is having a massive effect on the outcome of the games.  Instead of the Chargers getting off the field and getting the ball back, Denver is now in FG range and with a field goal, this game is pretty much over.  Man, I can't get over that call.

GJGE refs
That's why it's amazing the refs were able to call holding on the Pats three straight plays... it must have been really egregious.

Poor bastard ... The way this year has gone for us, if Welker were a Patriot, he'd be the one dead

Yes, whatever chance SD had ended with that penalty. Again, refs just having too much of an effect.

Maybe someone on Denver will slap McCourty in front of a ref again.
