The Post — amid all this talk about blown calls — would be remiss not to bring up Ed Hochuli, one of the NFL’s best, who also had one of these awkward moments two years ago.

After blowing a call that helped the Broncos defeat the Chargers, 39-38, in September of 2008, the referee admitted his mistake and even responded to some of this hate e-mails.

The crucial call occurred with the Broncos at the Chargers’ 1 yard line in the final minute. Then-Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler back to pass, but the ball slipped out of his hands, bounced off the grass and into the arms of Chargers linebacker Tim Dobbins.

Hochuli, a former NFL Referee Association president, ruled it an incomplete pass. Replay ruled it a fumble, but it was spotted at the 10, where the ball hit the ground, and given to Denver because the rules did not permit possession to be awarded to San Diego because the whistle had blown.

Denver went on to score a touchdown and a two-point conversion to complete the scoring.

“I’m getting hundreds of e-mails, but I’m responding to it all,” Hochuli said at the time. “People deserve a response. You can rest assured that nothing anyone can say can make me feel worse than I already feel about my mistake on the fumble play. You have no idea.”

Ahhh, but Joyce does now.
