I'm sure the NFL loves the drama, but this icing poo sucks where the whistle is blown to "stop" the play as the kick is halfway toward the goalposts.

yeah it's horseshit

Back to back seasons Denver wins their season-opening game due to a missed last second field goal. 

Can't blame the kicker. That was on the line allowing penetration.

So many ignored flags against the Broncos. Still see the refs have their head up Denver's butt. I wish they would do away with the whole icing the kicker crap too. All it does is waste time and feels cheap as hell.

It's bot, but more on the kicker IMO. Line allowed penetration but that ball came out too low. There was nowhere near enough penetration that a kick of that distance should've gotten blocked.

I feel bad for the rookie kicker...he was on time...line has to block, it's their job

Anywho...any game that ends at 1:15am EST is asinine. I don't care where they're playing

Meh, they called a pass interference there toward the end to give the Chargers a big chunk of yardage.

Definitely agree on the icing thing. If the timeout isn't called in time to get the play stopped, play should be a go. If we could have simultaneous replay of the coach on the sideline and the actual play, I'm willing to bet that a lot of these timeouts aren't actually called in time. The coach has just told the ref he's calling then he actually calls it as the ball is snapped and the ref gives it to him because he'd been alerted prior. But, fug that. You haven't called it until you've called it. If you don't call it in time, so sorry about that.

I know it's not his fault but...
