The Chargers, meanwhile, have vowed to do just what Cutler did: Drop it.
"As for things that occurred during the game, in my mind they're done," Coach Norv Turner said during his weekly news conference. "We sent the plays in to the league that we had in question. . . . Anything that we talk about or anything that is discussed in terms of any of the rules or any of the calls isn't going to change the outcome of that game.
"That game is going to be 39-38 forever."
Also Monday, Chargers linebacker Shaun Phillips wrote about the officiating controversies in his latest blog entry on yardbarker.com.
From his perspective, there's plenty of blame to go around.
"I can't say that the ref cheated us because that's a fine," Phillips wrote. "I can't say that the Broncos didn't win that game because that's being a sore loser. I can't say that it was a mistake that the replay machine wasn't working in the first [quarter] cause that would be a lie. . . . As a competitor it should never come down to the last play, but it did and we let it slip away."
