why did the clock stop there? seahawks had no timeouts and it was a holding penalty on them....shouldn't that have been a 10 second run off at the end of the half? :?

I was wondering that too. I always thought there was a 10 second runoff for the offense under 2 mins when they don't have any timeouts left. I feel like I learn a new NFL rule every week...

unless, i'm crazy, i honestly think the ref's messed up and you and i are the only ones who noticed.

if how it played out was correct, then every team would purposely get a holding penalty or something if they are out of timeouts and in field goal range at the end of the half/game. :?

The rules of football are a big reason why the NFL will not succeed outside our borders. I can't imagine understanding what was going on if I didn't grow up playing and watching it. Hell, I can't figure out what is going on during a rugby game.

The other reason it isn't popular is the cost of equipment.

That's why soccer is so popular. Hey kids, here's a ball and a few traffic cones. Kick the ball through the cones and if anyone comes near you, act like a sniper took you down. Have a go at it.

P.S. Indifference and Juggler I thought the same...it's just crazy that there are rules for rules and some are changed year-to-year and others aren't. Some make sense, others are inane. This game is so dumb, but so compelling at the same time.

It looks like it was the right call....apparently the 10 second runoff doesn't apply to holding. That doesn't make much sense to me...I thought it was any penalty on the offense with less than 2 mins.

That's weird because I know the Cowboys lost this game against Washington because of holding in the last 10 seconds http://www.pro-football-reference.com/b ... 120was.htm ... edit there was a hold with 0 seconds on the clock meaning they didn't get to replay the down.

This is absolutely satisfying to see...just a joy to be witness to since the Pats quite possibly have the biggest litany of bullshit (no)calls that have influenced the outcome of games in their favor in recent history. Sucks doesn't it?
