Andthat’s a play AFTER they had the stadium operator run the game clock after the ready to play even though the prior play was an incomplete pass!Why was the play blown dead? To reset the clock?
This is a farce.
Why? The ball was being snapped. Add a few seconds after. Or don’t. But don’t blow the play dead from 30 yards away as the ball is being snapped.Because, as you noted, the clock was started incorrectly. He killed it to come and try and fix the clock.
Alternative take. It was part of the cabal to give KC a do over if they didn't get the first down on the first try. Then they gave them a do over on the 2nd try with the flag after a huge sack.So the clock runner thought it was a complete pass or some stupidity.
OK, now they punt. Finally.
He has an awesome moment in the 2018 AFCCG when Romo says “if the safety goes here, the ball goes to Gronk in the seam.“ It was an absolutely perfect prediction of what happened. That seems like 1000 years ago now though.I’m old enough to remember when Romo was the Golden Boy of broadcasting.
Completely agree. I have huge respect for Zac Taylor and the culture he’s built.Yet more toughness by the Bengals. This is off the charts impressive.
It also took a minute off the clock for KC's subsequent plays.All told it cost the Bengals 6 yards and will be forgotten now, but that was a terrible look.
It was the same play. The sequence was:Andthat’s a play AFTER they had the stadium operator run the game clock after the ready to play even though the prior play was an incomplete pass!
Maybe the refs will fuck up the clockNot with that much time left
Oh shit. I didn't realize it was him.The Romo Caddyshack commercial drives me insane.
I mean that was blatant.Lol. Holding.
This is truly funny.
Referee forgets. That says it all.It was the same play. The sequence was:
Incomplete pass.
Line judge stops the play clock with 10 seconds left to come move the ball half a yard inexplicably.
Referee forgets previous play was incomplete, and winds both clocks.
Side judge realizes the error and tries to kill the play, play appears for all to be run.
Side judge tells Referee he blew the whistle before the play.
No. When they reset the ball because it moved a foot, Torbert said to the clock operator to change the play clock to 10 from 9, then said the play clock and the game clock would wind on his signal. The Chiefs snapped the ball like two seconds after he winded the clock. so for two seconds the booth thought they had to stop the play.So the clock runner thought it was a complete pass or some stupidity.
OK, now they punt. Finally.
No one says that. He's objectively better.People saying Mahomes is better than Brady will say poor Mahomes only has two star receivers this game
This. If the clock is wrong then fix it later. It doesn't affect the play unless it's at or below two minutes.Why? The ball was being snapped. Add a few seconds after. Or don’t. But don’t blow the play dead from 30 yards away as the ball is being snapped.
Utter garbage
Again, they haven't called the 780 holds against ANY teams in the playoffs leading up to this game.I mean that was blatant.
If they do they’ll just call a play dead and get it the next time.They aren't missing the holding on Cincy, are they. These refs catch all of those...
And a Cinci TOIt also took a minute off the clock for KC's subsequent plays.
someone called it out live. They started the game clock and the play clock when they only should have started the play clock
Exactly, instead of trying to stop the play basically at the snap, how about just adjusting the clock after the play? There was 10 minutes left, you aren't down near 0:00 or anything.Worst of all, they fucked up and seemed to have a solution, just add a few ticks back to balance the running clock. No harm, no foul.
