Unfortunately Turner did, what he has done often before, sieze on someone else's mistake to try and rationalize an unfavorable outcome.

As with many of these types "things " it is the RULE that needs changing.
We have all made mistakes. The problem is that Official mistakes are GLORIFIED.
What should have happend (and maybe the NFL will change the rule) is that the Charges should have ben awarded the ball EVEN THOUGH Hochuli blew his whistle however, that's not what the CURRENT rule states.
The fact is the Chargers gave up 495 yards of total offense. You do not WIN in the NFL giving up that kind of yardage. The ball was at the 10 which in the NFL is for the most part difficult to score because the end zone is like an extra defender for the defensive backs.
Last week the Charges allowed the Panthers to march down the field at will.
