I don't know if it's been posted elsewhere, so sorry if this isn't new, but I thought it was interesting enough to post here. Not sure how I feel about it, but I noticed this live and thought the whole Coughlin touching the ref and the clock not starting was pretty suspect.

The ref was standing over the ball and making a judgment on the first down. Giants could have easily hurried it up there. Not seeing the big deal. It's not like the scored as time expired. If anything the refs gave New England a chance.

I don't understand why the clock was stopped. But I'm not going to use it as an excuse either.

I noticed this live, but I don't think it really affected anything. I mean, I guess it did, but it doesn't matter.
Pretty interesting stuff.
This stuff happens way too much in sports. Football especially. It's crucial, crucial stuff and the timekeepers just **** it up far too often. Like when a play is run and time ticks off the clock, but the ref whistles the play dead--that time should go back on the clock but it never does.
It appears that Belichick actually did run off the field well after time expired. Hmm.

I agree, the Giants still deserved to win. It was just a little odd IMO.
And of course my posting this spurs a whole LOL OWNED ROFL GG ROFL thread instead an actual debate. I should have known.

It was an 'unofficial' measurement. They had no choice but to stop the clock. If they just gave him the first down, they would have hurried up and snapped the ball.
A nice try by a bitter Patriots fan, however.

That was lame. That dude just needs to admit defeat and move on.

The clock should have been restarted after the first down signal.

This happens in almost EVERY NFL football game where the clock fails to start.
Nothing new.

Even if they did re-start the clock, keep in mind that there was still 40 seconds left when they scored.
If anything, that clock mis-hap gave the Pats a chance at the end of the game they shouldn't have had!!
