but I believe the season is officially "over" now.  I think basically everyone (except those that are naive and/or stupid) knew that it was gonna be a whoopin' tonight, and it totally was.  The game actually went better than I expected with that stellar third quarter, but still...not so much with the good.  I suppose it could be worse, however;  I could have been cheering for Indianapolis or Dallas--teams that got equally stomped and don't have the excuse of a rookie quarterback.  So, you know, I guess I'll spend the rest of the season trying not to hate Cutler since I'll probably love him later after he gets good and starts winning and just be grateful that San Diego won the division instead of stupid Kansas City or stupider Oakland.

ETA: I forgot to complain last night about the officiating.  Seriously, what morons (or Chargers fans) were on the field yesterday?!  They manage to spot Tatum Bell stepping out of bounds on a (later-determined) 51-yard run, but miss calling offensive pass interference in the inzone for Lynch (which should have taken away a touchdown) and defensive pass interference near the sideline for Smith.  They also called a 5-yard face mask for Smith when it absolutely should have been a personal foul, and gave LT a rushing touchdown when the ball clearly didn't cross the plane.  The Broncos were plenty capable of losing all by themselves; they didn't the officiating crew helping out.  Kinda like the Steelers getting some "help" in the Super Bowl...

Oh, and watching my nephew eat chips and dip is one of the funniest things I have ever seen.  That kid cracks me up...when he's not getting into trouble.
