Ed Hoculi's call in the Chargers' Bronco's game was horrendous. It was so big that the NFL's competition committee will probably change the rule that caused him to erroneously blow the play dead.
But my high school football coach had a saying that is still apropos low these many years later: "If you win the game, there's no call that can take it away from you."
I still believe in that sentiment. Did the Chargers get screwed on that call? Yes. But if they had gone out and dominated that game and won it before the waning minutes of the fourth quarter, one bad call wouldn't have made any difference. The Chargers blew the game and have only their on-field performance to blame.
OKC's Sam Presti is an overrated draft savant

Oh, I definitely agree, regardless of the sport. No one call or play, wins or loses the game. Something always comes before or after the crucial play, that had the execution been done correctly, would have changed the direction of the game.
Sports history is riddled with such examples:
Bill Buckner and Steve Bartman to name two from baseball;
How about Franco Harris' catch - the immaculate reception. If you're an Oakland Raiders fan, you may think that play cost the game.
Obviously, it did not.
