Oh wow, the Steelers lost. That's surprising.

I don't think Detroit would have made it, but I don't know how they can justify the 10 second run-off from a slow clock operator either.

Richard Sherman pulled off a trifecta of a pre-INT, post-INT and post-play penalty.

Pass Interference pre, Holding post, and Unsportsmanlike Conduct after.

And he's lucky he didn't get a second Unsportsmanlike Conduct following the announcement of the penalties.

I did too. And on a live play-clock, there's no chance it would be marked at 11. It's 10 when he completely hits the ground, which is the blink of an eye from when he was "down".

This week has been some exciting football.

His knee touched down a full second before he "completely hits the ground".

If "Completely hitting the ground" was relevant, that was a touchdown because he didn't do that until he was across the line.

EDIT: seriously, I wish I could screen capture from a TV shot right now. I'm looking right at it. :11 on the clock, knee down, ball at about 6 inches.

Now the Fudgepackers need to lose and it'll be a perfect day of football.

His knee touched down a full second because the TV broadcasts don't show parts of seconds. But it doesn't matter, because the NFL called it according to the rule book.

The broncos went back to who they really are after they won their Super Bowl last week. A store employee tried to give me grief over my Cowboys shirt last week. Teams play harder against the Cowboys because we're America's Team. Regardless we're going 2-1 Monday night.

Good thing I didn't follow the advice of the orange-skinned moron and boycott the NFL this week!

Now we can be friends too.

Wow A-Rod that was a terrible decision.

Sherman with a big helmet-to-helmet late hit on Mariotta out of bounds. And almost setting off a huge fight.

And likely getting ejected.

I don't know how he wasn't ejected when he flipped out after getting the UC for flipping out after getting the PI.

I give him slack on that first bunch even though when he was doing that Watching thing to ref I might have threw his ass out. But that late hit would have pushed me over as a ref.

Umm...what?

The game does not continue for a full second after the clock hits zero, the timer is rounded down. If it shows 11 seconds, it means there are > 11 seconds left.

And someone else did the screengrab:

There is no way you can call it which is "according to the rule book". The clock was stopped incorrectly because of the TD call, and they arbitrarily used that timer to run down 10 seconds from that point. Either the rule book is unclear or that ran down from the wrong time. There is no interpretation where they got it objectively "right".

EDIT: I was rooting for Atlanta here dude. I'm not a Detroit homer who's super pissed about what happened. I'm just calling it like I see it.

That was BS by Sherman.
