None at all.
To me, that's situational officiating right there, too. It seemed to me that the Colts only lined up in a normal formation on that play
specifically to try and draw the Chargers off. In that case, you've got to be extra, extra careful that
you're not the team that flinches first. And when you put a guy in motion (or shifting, whatever he was doing)
and then a tight end JERKS up as you would at the snap, well, I'm sorry, I'm nailing that one right there. ***** all you want.
The IW, I was listening on the radio and Dave Sims said that there hadn't been a whistle (initially) and I said to the person in the car with me "I thought I heard a whistle?" Turns out I had.
Of course it shouldn't happen. But it does. I felt
so badly for the whole crew. Having blown an IW or two in my career (as I'm sure most of us have), no one in the stadium feels worse about it than we do.

Bill Polian is absolutely crazy as a sh!thouse mouse to begin with, and it pains me that this nutjob has a Super Bowl ring, but it is what it is.
Did he not call Peyton Manning's house last night because he couldn't contain himself about the
six frigging interceptions the guy threw?
The call was correct, IMHO. And Polian hasn't stopped whining and *****ing even though his team won the frigging Super Bowl. Give it a rest.
