Oh don't get me wrong. I will acknowledge the Browns defense played like shit with a handful of busted plays. But they almost always came off the heels of either missed offensive holding, or two terribly officated calls which included a PI on the Browns that was CLEARLY offensive PI on the Chargers. The charger receiver could have worn the Browns jersey he was tugging on it so hard.

Go back and count how many times Myles Garret was held by the mask. I know refs are not gonna call holds against him because he is who he is, but for fuck sakes, when he is being held by the mask, you have to call that shit. Tell you what, if you don't find him being held by the mask, I'll admit I'm exaggerating. Go ahead. I'll wait.

Chargers are not special outside of Herbert. Officiating keeps them alive in games

I mean, I'm not gonna go back and re-watch the game again to count all the wrong, or missed calls, but as a neutral observer, who's not invested in either team, I didn't find the game to be any worse in that regard than literally any other average NFL game. If you wanna make the argument that officiating in general is ass, I'm right there with you. But there wasn't much in this game in that vein to make it stand out beyond any other recent games I've watched.

Cheers. Officiating across the board in the NFL is truly garbage, and is something that we fans all live with. Don't forget. I'm a Browns fan, so I've watched the Browns lose a lot since 2006. All those years of losing I never complained about officiating because I truly submit to the "better team won" mentality. But that game no, that was truly an unearned win for the Chargers.

Salt aside. I guess my main point that is getting lost in all of this is that the Chargers are nothing special. To me anyway.
