Patriot fans: We were robbed!

[skinsscalper]

Hell, all that means is that the Pats don't have 4 opportunities for a Hail Mary. Go ahead, run the clock. You're 3 points down with 2 seconds left you bunch of freakin morons. Sheesh.

the clock was stopping several times throughout the game for no reason. it was pretty weird. ive never seen the game clock stop that many times when they weren't measuring or discussing a penalty.

Ok i'll play along...

even if the clock was stopped as you say, what team would that be an advantage for? the Giants was clearly playing the ball control run the clock game and the last thing they would have wanted was for the clock to stop

You guys are terrible. They are trying to get a petition going and you are completely undermining their efforts.

Some people apparently don't realize that the clock stops for a measurement.

More importantly, many fans fail to realize that the official game clock is actually in the hands of the refs both on the field and in the booth. The clocks the fans see both at the stadium and on tv are kept in sync (to the best of their ability) to the refs clocks.

I know exactly the point in which that person is referring to .. 6 seconds were added back during the measurement but that is usually because the refs near the ball are focused on setting it up for the next play while the ref in charge of clock control is over near the sidelines. That ref has to run toward the middle of the field to signal the stadium clock operators they need to stop the clock.

Normally, clock resets are done without fans even noticing but in this case, it happened quickly quite likely because the stadium (and/or the tv) clock operator thought the next play was about to start and they were just told to reset the clock with 6 more seconds so they did it quickly.

the NFL hates the Pats? since when?

 

[Jin Rummy]

I didn't hear any Patriot fans crying when the Baltimore Ravens got robbed! Give them the Giants game. Either way, they're still 18-1, 'cause the Ravens beat them that night.

If this investigation is anything lie the other Pats investigation, expect all copies of the game to be destroyed.

SB XLII will never be seen again. We can't allow other people to benefit from the tape.

Has anyone ever seen this rule enforced? I thought this is what homefield advantage was suppose to be for.

"10. When, in the judgment of the Referee, the level of crowd noise prevents the offense from hearing its signals, he can institute a series of procedures which can result in a loss of team time outs or a five-yard penalty against the defensive team."

so a false start caused from crowd noise could be construed as defensive penalty???

Although I agree some of the "sigs" are pretty funny, I find it interesting that it does not seem to appear as a thread on any Pats forum and has not been presented by anyone to the NFL (or anyone else)...

I find it quite interesting that you are a New England fan and on a Cowboys message board at 5:00 in the morning.

Regular visitor hendog...I like to talk football and depend on the Cowboys to keep my friends who are Giants fans humble....(just don't trade up for McFadden)...

Waaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! The Yankees are mean to me!!!! waaaaaaaahh!!!!! Wot's that Matt? This is da Pahts? Ah screw dem, I only became a fan when dey stahted winning titles, just evahybody else in Bahston.
1788. J.L. White Okay, Boston sports fans, take from someone who has ACTUALLY witnessed his favorite team get robbed in the Super Bowl (ahem, the Seattle Seahawks), this pathetic whining is making me sick. Oh, BOO HOO, your team maybe, perhaps, lost a couple of seconds. WHAT WERE THE PATS DOING FOR THE PREVIOUS 38 MINUTES AND 20 SECONDS, HUH? Sucking, that's what. Trust me, the rest of America feels SOOOO BAD FOR YOU, what with your other 3 Lombardi trophies, and your two World Series and numbers NBA championships. As a Seattle fan, that just BREAKS MY HEART. It's official: you guys have official: you guys have taken the crown as the Whiniest Fans in the World, for whining LOUDER about something that DIDN'T EVEN HAPPEN. I'd present you the award myself, but you douchebags would probably complain that the tiara wasn't shiny enough, and the septer wasn't bejeweled enough. GET A LIFE!!!
