So if you are an American Football fan then you'll of seen or heard about Ed Hochuli's blown call in the Chargers/Broncos game already.

Opinion is heavily split on what happened, we all know he got it wrong and the head referee - who is remember one of the very best in the NFL - even admitted that he got it wrong on the field.

However the referee made the only call he could after he had blown his whistle and shouldn't be as vilified as he seems to be. He is human and made a mistake but if he makes another similar error in his career then I'd be gobsmacked.

I think people should stop piling into the referee but heck what do I know?
