Ethan in Cleveland Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Holy hell that sequence after the fumble that should have been. Rivers throws to TE. Looks like he signals that he is OOB and the clock should stop. Sometime after that and before McD called the timeout the clock began to run again. Maybe 3 or 4 seconds went off the clock. So either he was ruled in-bounds and they missed it saving the Colts quite a bit of time or the clock guy started it inappropriately. I was going to rewind and look but my son switched the channel to the Seahawks. What did you guys see??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then when they set the ball the clock restarted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn’t believe the clock started running again, but chalked it up to me maybe forgetting one of the finer points of the rulebook... 🤣 3 minutes ago, Frat-Train said: I thought I saw the clock manager on one knee, chugging a warm Smirnoff Ice. what did YOU see? he was doing a shot of Wisnowska from the Hammer Lot bowling ball 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixxxer Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 yep, that was confusing. I know the playclock they show in the TV is not the official one, but there were some really late snaps by Rivers, borderline delays of game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I was thinking maybe they said he went out of bounds backwards, which for some reason is a rule that the clock keeps running. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMESS Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Pittman actually fumbled out of bounds on the play. The clock doesn’t stop when fumbled out of bounds under 2 minutes. That’s why the clock was re-started. CBS broadcast didn’t show the replay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that is the rule. I think it is because they don't want players running backwards to intentionally stop the clock. I (half) remember it coming up in a SNF earlier this season in a silmilar situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case it just keeps running though right? It doesn't stop until the ball is spotted. That's what I thought anyways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only want them running forward to stop the clock intentionally? I don't see the difference, personally. 4 minutes ago, Ethan in Portland said: In that case it just keeps running though right?

They may have stopped it then received a signal from the officials to start it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is correct, you must be moving upfield when going OB for the clock to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcdermott Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 The player fumble the ball backwards out of bounds. Unfortunately the broadcast didn’t show it. If you watch replay watch where ball was marked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going down to stealing a half of a second surprised me. It should be subject to replay. I hope that gets changed, despite how much I don’t want the game to be slowed down.
