That clock was really stuck at seconds on the clock, he’s right 3 plays under 10 seconds, impossible. 2 plays with 4 seconds? I don’t think so.

Which begs the question…..why arent all clocks managed by the refs?

This is a totally inappropriate use of the phrase “begs the question” btw, and you are just trying to sound smart and instead sound like an idiot.

Division game on the road, take the W. Coughlin just said something after the game. Everyone gets so butthurt at anything anyone says.

Shoot, the Ole Miss fans are still complaining about the same sort of thing in the 1972 LSU game.

Bert Jones eked out a win with a pass to Brad Davis in that one, tho.

I saw it.

Coughlin just wanted to take the attention away from the calls that made his gift win possible: Bryant’s fingernail scratching the white line a the back of the end zone, and Miles Austin getting mugged by Giant defenders at the 2 yard line before the ball arrived.
—————-

CALLS???

See my previous post about the calls that WEREN’T made (which were worse than anything they called on the Giants all game).

And it’s bad enough that they added four seconds, when there were 7 seconds left when the out of bounds catch was made.

But oh, since it wasn’t called a TD, they decide to give them time for two more plays (never seen 3 plays run in 9 seconds, sorry, that’s fishy). Had it been a TD, they wouldn’t have given us those seconds back ha.

I said the same thing. Home cooking. That, and the nonsense calls on Giants secondary (somehow Carr and Claiborne, who were dancing the lambada with Nicks and Cruz all game, not flagged ONCE all game) were evident on that final drive.

Why don’t we see the tenths of seconds when it’s under a min like they have in the NBA?

It’s obvious- with examples like this- it’s about time and it just makes sense.

“But I just watched the sequence again via the NFL Game Rewind, and I timed the play by hand with a stopwatch, and by my timing, the play took exactly 5.50 seconds,”

Nerd.

There is no way you can run 3 plays in 10 sec. the league should investigate and if there is wrong doing they should fine the cowboys big time.The clocks should be managed by the league.

There was 6 seconds on the clock at the end of the Dez Bryant no-catch, and then they put 4 seconds back on after the reply. I did not understand this because the clock would have stopped at 6 if the play had been a TD or an incomplete pass. Any explanations?

Please Coughlin, stop whining

What a classic for a 49er fan to comment about the Giants complaining. Your coach, Little Jimmy has been complainging about last years NFC Championship since the game ended. He has been pretty quiet since he got a big piece of humble pie a few weeks back.

Maybe the clock was stuck at 1… but fortunately Jerrys finger wasn’t stuck up his nose… like opening night at his new football palace 4 years ago…???? Even the time keeper couldnt help Tony Implodo and his “Talented” band of undisciplined misfits…yesterday

The Cowboys were so horrible, the Giants fell asleep. It almost cost the champs the game as momentum shifted quick. giants are racking up different ways of winning this season which will serve them well moving forward as each game presents different scenarios.

Giants looking strong at the half way mark.

In every NFL game, there are times when the playclock keeps ticking even though a guy goes out of bounds, and other scenarios where it looks dubious at best. The biggest example I ever saw of this was the Rams/Patriots Super Bowl. Vinatieri’s kick was at 0:07. The ball split the uprights with the clock in clear view behind the goalpost, on TV around the world. Ball goes through, clock at :04. Clock goes :03, :02, :01, :00, Super Bowl over, Patriots win. Should have definitely had to kick off to the Rams, and if they do that, who knows what can happen. They play it on NFL Network all the time, watch it closely!

There was only one play after the 1sec mark, it was stuck when it was on 6 as they got 2 plays of while it was at 6 seconds.

What a crybaby. The play was over with 2+ seconds left. The clock clicked off an extra second before stopping.

Romo is garbage and keeps getting passes every week how many turnovers is that for him now like 15. Why is he not put on the hot seat like Vick, every week this guy blows the game and know one say anything about making a QB change in Big D, all you hear is same old romo time for Dallas to get rid of romo and Garrett

Giants were very lucky that Romo threw four interceptions yesterday three weeks after he threw five interceptions against Chicago.

Someone please explain the “breaking the plane of the goal line” rule regarding the Dez Bryant catch.
Hadn’t he already “broken the plane” when his hand hit down?

You came within a finger tip of losing a game that Dallas had 6 turnovers in. Just sayin’..

Romo’s last pick of the game will be the int that takes Jerry over the edge and leads trade/cut of Romo.

Was that the one on fourth down? An interception is the same as an incomplete pass (better, in fact, because of field position). Jerry might be upset it wasn’t completed, but it’s not a big deal it was intercepted vs incomplete.

Jimmy Johnson predicted three Romo interceptions. Terry Bradshaw saw the three and raised him one.
TB called it!!!
I still can’t believe the Cowboys are sticking with him. Until they move past the Romo era, they will be America’s Joke.

Whoa, this is the FIRST TIME EVER I hear a winning coach complain about something in a game that was close at the end.

Come on coach, let’s not complain and concentrate on bad play calling like Garret does in Dallas, or better yet, concentrate on winning a SB in the pre-season rather than during the season like they do in Philly.

Please all ya sad losers keep hating on the Giants and Coughlin, coz in the end, both YOU and I know, you will be there crying when the Giants, AGAIN, make our way into more wins, into the playoffs, as much to your disdain.

Hahaha… I do not like ugly wins but it is better than your ugly loses. Hilarious!

Go Big Blue!!!

I wonder if Coughlin will call up his buddy Mara and get the NFL to take away Cowboys salary cap space for violating the “spirit” of the game clock.

“Which begs the question…..why aren’t all clocks managed by the refs?”

They are, or at least they are controlled by the NFL, and not by the home teams!

Every single clock operator is a trained employee of the NFL. He is not a referee, but he is an NFL employee, not (in this case) a Cowboys employee.

We go over this about twice a month, people.

Florio has mentioned it several times, even.

I hate the Cowboys as much as just about anyone, but let’s at least get the facts straight. If it was a mistake then it was a mistake on the part of an NFL employee, not a homer-based decision.
