Had the Chargers got that fumble call in their favor, they wouldn’t have needed week 17 to win the AFC West-but the final result must have felt a whole lot sweeter for them.
@@runrafarunthebestintheworld Did you even watch Rivers? He was never, ever the problem with the Chargers. He was the reason they were so often in contention despite systemic disfunction elsewhere in the organization.
@@IdahoBookworm he still choked as much as Matt Ryan and Tony Romo though. That's pretty sad if you don't win championships as a pocket passer like Brady and the Manning brothers did you're not worth being part of that discussion of being great.
Really is crazy that the Chargers never even appeared in, let alone one Super Bowl with Rivers. Looking back at some of those seasons, the teams and coaching just never lined up.
The 2006 ravens and 2006 chargers one of those teams should have won the afc in 2006 back when both dominated but Peyton with less playoff pressure won his only ring in Indianapolis
@@chrisuncleahmad don't act like Philip Rivers isn't a choker though. One year he had to use gloves because he couldn't hold on to the football. Joke quarterback. 😅
This was a great game. There were two bad calls. Both went in favor of the Broncos. There was a fumble recovered in the first half by Champ Bailey. It should have been overturned, but for some reason the replay equipment wasn't working. Then Cutler fumbles the ball and referee Ed Hochuli blows it dead before the Chargers record. I think that's why Coach Shanahan went for two to win the game at the end. It was such a crazy game you might as well go out swinging.
I always thought if Mike Shanahan stayed in Denver Cutler might have turned out better than what he's known for. He had his best season of his career in Denver and him vs. Rivers would have made for a good rivalry.
As soon as I saw this game I remembered that terrible call at the end. The only reason I don't have PTSD from this is we won the division at the end of the year anyways lol
I've been a season ticket holder for Denver since 1976. This is a classic reason why Jay Cutler didn't last in Mike High. Two halves of a completely different leader. It's also lead to the reason Mike Shanahan wasn't long for Denver either.
The 08 Broncos were one of the most talented teams to not make the playoffs. Wonder what would've happened if they never fired Shanahan and by default kept Cutler.
@@raymondsmith2040 Well, 1st I don't know if the correlation between the statement that if Shanahan hadn't been fired that Cutlers job would be 'safe'. Cutler was let go because of his money demands, inconsistent playing and DIVA attitude. I don't believe that Shanahan would have met his demands any differently. 2nd. To say that 'The 08 Denver team was the best team 'not to make the playoffs' is like saying that the $40 Ribeye steak you ordered at a restaurant would have been great IF it had ever been delivered to my table before I left the restaurant. Lol.
@@donaldholderdoc2910 Marshall wouldn't have been long for that team either had Shanahan stayed one more year. I heard that he wanted to get rid of him.
For those who don't know. This game is why every Charger fan despises the Hochuli family. This along with a long history of bad calls against the Chargers. Ed's son is just as bad.
The game that made Ed Hochuli a household name and modified replay rules.
That dude spent more time on his biceps than in the rule book lol.
Had the Chargers got that fumble call in their favor, they wouldn’t have needed week 17 to win the AFC West-but the final result must have felt a whole lot sweeter for them.
It ended up being the worst thing to happen to the Chargers longterm: 4 more years of Norv
@@chrisuncleahmad What's so bad about Norv? He contributed to 2 of my team's Lombardi trophies.
@@dionr1168 he is not good as a head coach
Knew you would be in this video go packers and auburn tigers still...
I swear the chargers are the falcons of the AFC
This game will always be remembered because of that horrible call on jay cutler
This was a crazy but classic game I love you NFL Throwback you're giving us games we haven't forgotten about 🏉🏉🏉🏉
Imagine having Marshall and Sproles on your fantasy team
RIP Vincent Jackson ☹️
So so sad 😢😭
Amen
Throwback game requests for this week:

Jets/Broncos: 1998 AFC Championship Game
Steelers/Dolphins: 1989 Week 13 (rain game)
Saints/Cardinals: 1998 Week 16 (wild card elimination game)
Yes, I'd really like to see that browns/ravens game.
Concur with that as well.
RIP to the announcer he was a good one
RIP to the late Dick Enberg, NFL on NBC/CBS broadcaster for 30+ years.
Enberg was so good. When did he die again?
@@raymondsmith2040since yo ass refused to utilize Google, December 2017
I never forgave Hochuli for this. I mean sure, this game kinda set up my all time favorite season as a Charger’s fan. But still. Will never forgive.
Darren Sproles was so fun to watch.
Darren Sproles was phenomenal
GREAT GAME
Indeed. Horrible officiating - not surprising lol - but a helluva of a game nonetheless!
@@Haven6419 Agreed with the Refs THEY SUCK!
Great Game for the AFC West between the Denver Broncos and San Diego Chargers. I wish we need to Bring the San Diego Chargers back.
This is one of my favorite broncos games.
I’m still sitting here trying to figure out how San Diego with all that talent never made it to The Super Bowl.
Because Philip Rivers is a choker obviously. Drew Brees would've done a better job with the Chargers.

@@runrafarunthebestintheworld Tell me how the 2006 playoff loss or the whole 2010 special teams fiasco were because Rivers “choked.”
Ur right
this was an absolute crazy and classic NFL throwback game for a Monday night, this was just chaotic
Cutler was throwing darts!
Semi-tangent; those 2008 graphics CBS had for its NFL coverage is S-tier.
That was my favorite CBS scoreboard of all time. Was bummed when they replaced it.
B. Marshall one of my favorite receivers!
Now this is a legit throwback!
The last great game commentated by the great dick enberg
14 Years Ago
Jesus Christ I’m gettin old lol
Eddie Royal had a game winner against the chargers and then years later he had a game winning td with the chargers against the ravens.
I Love You So Much NFL Throwback 🏈 Cool 😎 Video 📸
One of the best games ever!!!
Really is crazy that the Chargers never even appeared in, let alone one Super Bowl with Rivers. Looking back at some of those seasons, the teams and coaching just never lined up.
Norv Turner was a terrible coach that got bailed out by Rivers
The 2006 ravens and 2006 chargers one of those teams should have won the afc in 2006 back when both dominated but Peyton with less playoff pressure won his only ring in Indianapolis
@@chrisuncleahmad don't act like Philip Rivers isn't a choker though. One year he had to use gloves because he couldn't hold on to the football. Joke quarterback. 😅
Probably the only time we will ever see an “incomplete pass” be placed 8 yards behind the original scrimmage line.
Ah a humble request of Andrew Lucks last game winning drive/comeback against the Giants in week 16 of 2018
The amount of blunders this commentator made
Classic game
AFC West shootout with controversy at the end. Chargers got revenge in Week 17.
Why not roll the dice?
Brandon Marshall seemed wide open every play..
I mean he was 6'5 playing against a bunch of 5'10 d-backs but still Marsh was my favorite big receiver to watch back in the day.
11:13 THATS MY BOY MIKE TOLBERT!

Darren Sproles played in the league for such a long time.
The Ed Hocculli game where Jerry Jones went off and got fined lol
BM was badass…but Chambers was freaky
3:28 RIP Vincent Jackson
And yet Denver still didn’t make the playoffs
last great Broncos offense of the Shanahan era
do we like cutler as a bronco or a bear? Lol
I always thought if Mike Shanahan stayed in Denver Cutler might have turned out better than what he's known for. He had his best season of his career in Denver and him vs. Rivers would have made for a good rivalry.
It’s all good we paid the asses back real good week 17….⚡️
Sproles was special
I was at this game.... alott fuckery happened but all I remember is darren sproles being the fastest guy w a football I've ever seen to this day
As soon as I saw this game I remembered that terrible call at the end. The only reason I don't have PTSD from this is we won the division at the end of the year anyways lol

Hello
As a broncos fan, even my biased cannot see that as an incomplete pass. Clearly a fumble. The ball went backwards.
Back when we had an offense…
Karma is a bitch, right? Broncos ended up chocking the division.
They cheated the chargers Jay Cutler fumbled that ball
im the 3rd person to comment
And yet no one cares
Good game ruined by horrible officiating.
NFL officiating responsible once again for an illegitimate game outcome. That's largely why I stopped watching NFL games...for years.
I was there
