D-Fence

Where has the defense gone in the NFL?* Using no statistics and only my limited observations, I feel like every other game is some sort of 41-35 shootout.  This could be the byproduct of rooting for the Broncos, whose defense appears to be holding out for better contracts this season.

*Yesterday's 15-6 war of attrition between the Eagles and the Steelers notwithstanding.

You Know You're in Law School When...

...you start comparing the instant replay/review controversy of the Broncos-Chargers game to civil procedure.  

Nerd alert.

Wild game, though-- Denver definitely had its lucky stars aligned to, um, sidestep the instant replay issues, but when it comes down to it, San Diego had two chances to stop Denver from scoring from the 10 yard line and another from converting the 2-point conversion.  Oh yeah, and they gave up 39 points in the game.  Norv Turner's indignation would be a lot more meaningful if their defense hadn't resembled a flag football team's.

It would have also been more meaningful if he had actively screamed at the referees during the game, rather than afterward.  However, given that yesterday's ref was Ed Hochuli, I can't blame him too much for waiting until after the game.

2-0! Go Broncos!
