BuffaloBilliever Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 With 2:12 left in the quarter Reggie Wayne stepped out of bounds, they got back to the line but the clock kept running... why didn't it stop if he had gotten out of bounds?

Moose Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Because they're playing the Patriettes and the rules are different (ie. OL for Patsies can hold and block low at will). "Just give it to them!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 For one thing the clock now restarts on an OB play before the 2:00 warning I think. I missed the play but was Wayne possibly pushed OB backwards and teh refs called forward progress stopped in bounds(which they do when appropriate) so the clock keeps moving?

No, that isn't what happened. He caught the ball and ran out of bounds before he was hit by an approaching defender. It didn't make any sense to me that the clock would initially stop - and then start running again. That's why I just figured it was one of those [wink]"Patriot Rules"[/wink].

BuffaloBilliever Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 So there's no more stopping the clock by going out of bounds before the 2 minute warning? Wow, soon the NFL's rule structure will be stricter than the American Constitution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cieslak86 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 That was strange to me too, seems like they would stop the clock anytime someone went out of bounds in the last 3 or 4 mins of a half. The way the refs run the clock on those sort of plays seems inconsistent. It probably is just anything that favors the Pats goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably is just anything that favors the Pats goes. the clock stops until they re-spot the ball, then they start it back up again. This always happens outside of 2 minutes.

MRW Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I don't see how that call favored the Pats in any way. It was just weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 the clock stops until they re-spot the ball, then they start it back up again. This always happens outside of 2 minutes. inside two minutes in first half, but inside five minutes in the 4th qtr. Not sure about OT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuntheDamnBall Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I was more wary of the fact that they charged Indy a timeout for injury but didn't for the Pats when Seymour went down for an equal amount of time. But thankfully it didn't impact the game's outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thankfully it didn't impact the game's outcome. I thought you are charged an injury timed out only if it happens under the 2 min warning of each half.
