The sad thing about it was the Chargers hadn't beaten the raiders in a long time and on that day they did but they were cheated out of the win. It still annoys the hell out of me.
The Chargers I think were 1-3 when Coryell got the job. Finished the year I think 9-7 so Corywell went 8-4 (if my facts are straight)
Game cost them the playoffs

There is a clip that was not in this video, I saw it at Chargerspulse on Insta, where Derwin and a few other defenders were on the field before the game, and Drew Lock did a drive-by and said "no picks today" to Derwin. DJ said to the other guys, man that pissed me off let's go get some picks, or words to that effect. He almost did pick Lock on a few plays, but no dice. However, Derwin did flatten Lock on one blitz, and he was penalized for it. But I think Derwin took the shot anyway, knowing he would probably draw a flag, just to let Lock know what's what.

It is a playoff game, it is nervous time as a fan. I think we should have some confidence as well. We can take these guys no sweat.
Hit Sid early and hit Sid often.
Beats the hell out of playing in KC in the last game of the season, like last year, with zero on the line except draft positioning. This is a good thing to have anticipation, excitement, maybe nervous for a game.

So you think the refs are getting paid to make calls to fix games? Come on, man. Think about what you are saying. You are accusing these refs of being totally corrupt. Do you really believe that? It doesn't sound like you, you seem to be level-headed and reasonable, grounded in reality.
Are refs human? Yes. Do they make mistakes? Absolutely. NFL refs have made egregiously bad calls that we at home can see plain as day were 100 percent B.S. But the refs are down on the field with the players, the action is fast, split second. It's a tough job, and very few people can do it. When you are that close the action with players flying around and everything moving so fast, mistakes are going to be made. But I don't believe for a second that any NFL game has ever been "fixed" by calls referees have made. What would that accomplish? Who is instructing them to "fix" the game? Which referees are involved? People are quick to cry "conspiracy!!!" when something isn't going there way. But most people don't understand that it's very difficult to pull off a bconspiracy. Everything has to go just right, and the people involved or have knowledge of it have to stay silent about it forever, even on their deathbeds. To me, accusing an NFL ref of "fixing" a game is like believing the moon landings were faked
Here is a very brief video about the Holy Roller. The official who called a TD for the Raiders, Jerry Markbreit, talks about it, what happened. Do you believe Markbreit was corrupt and was in on some sort of fix? I don't think you really do at the end of the day.

Obvious grounding penalty.....if called, it would have given the Raiders one last play beyond the 20?
