Has NFL Explained Why Clock Never Started Until Teddy Passed The Ball At End Of Half?

[glimmerman]

He could not challenge it. It was already reviewed.

It was a terrible call. Elbow was obviously down before ball popped out. No question!

And it was a turnover so it was supposedly reviewed anyways. Terrible call.

Gosh, you are gullible. They just replayed a video of the clock. Put a timer to it. It is virtually impossible to throw a pass under 2 seconds.

I take it you never played ball to make that statement.

 

[Brax]

Um the clock didn’t start until he threw the pass go back and watch it. It should start as soon as it’s snapped.

actual I think Al M commented it is correct. since we can't see the snap when TB stand the clock starts if its closer to 5 sec ??? who knows.

As a Spurs fan it was kind of like 0.4 seconds against the Lakers. Nothing that's going to be done with it, might as well just live with the result.

incompetence if not outright crookedness in the nfl, but I won't blame that for our loss yesterday. The saints were getting hosed with penalties all night as well.

 

[coogrfan]

the replay at the end of the half actually verified the 2 second appears correct, take of the foil hat.

Did it? Seemed to me the clock did not start at the snap.

My take away from this thread:

How is it possible that there are still people that don't know that turnovers are automatically under review?

 

[Kevinicus]

The clock doesn't drop the instant the ball is snap. It doesn't go from 4 to 3 instantaneously. Time (up to one second) has to run off before the clock changes.

Was wondering where these threads were when we were 3-0. Methinks I've detected a correlation to losing and whining about things being rigged. Lol.

 

[Cydios]

well the NFL owes the Saints a few. I'm sure they didn't want to bring that up and look like hypocrites. lol

It takes more than 0.7 seconds for an NBA player to be able to catch and shoot it. Anything under that, the only way to score is a tip in. The clock starts as soon as the ball touches a player's hand. Same for football. And as it is in both sports, the clock stops when the ball lands. Not when the ball crosses the 'assumed' out of bounce imaginary line while it's in the air. There's absolutely no way for an NFL play to take less than (3) seconds to execute. To say that they ran a play in (2) seconds is laughable. Who knows what the outcome would have been, had the clock been operated properly, but this was a legit homer job. For goodness sake, they allow for the home team's clock operator to control the 'master' game clock. I've seen these homer jobs in college basketball, the NBA and even the NHL. This was the first football game that I've actually witnessed one of these homer jobs. Now, no one can argue that the Saints don't deserve, at least, a few of these considering the no-call in last year's NFC championship game. Just wish they didn't use one of there 'freebie' cards against the team that I cheer for.

The clock manager in that game should be fired. Probably the easiest job in the league. Duhh. ..let me see....I need to hit this button when the ball is snapped?

The saints are giving him a raise, just like the seahawks ball boy.

Here is a great question!

If Garrett was so upset about this, and he was yelling at the refs... why didn’t he call a timeout to yell at them some more and maybe get them to review it?

instead he yelled at them and just walked away. We had two timeouts left that we just left to waste!

this guy sucks!

Or at least make enough of a fuss that you buy yourself the next close call.

Kind of like how you need to remind your wife of the time she burnt the roast so she makes the next one even better.

Get them to owe you

Fact of the matter is... we lost to that team WITHOUT Brees!! We need to score more than 10 friggin points. Thas on K Moore. That playcalling reminded me so much of the vanilla Linehan crap they marched out. If Brees had played, we aren't here cryin about a couple of seconds on the clock .

What you can't see is the real time.

4 seconds showing could actually be 4.9 seconds.

There was at least 1 second remaining. People just want to ***** right now.

 

[eromeopolk]

That kinda was important since we lost by 2 points

I'm sure it was just an honest mistake by the game clock operator wearing a who dat shirt. Yeah, just an honest mistake.

Its the Mardi Gras Mambo, the Mardi Gras Mambo, the Mardi Gras Mambo....down in New Orleans.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Exactly. That call defies logic. It's not even a matter of "well, you can't tell if the ball was moving", because, yes, you CAN tell the ball is not moving. But, this won't even get talked about on media Monday. At least not outside of DFW.

This, I told my wife we should be getting the ball back and when we did not, she said I am going upstairs now. Lol
