Maybe if they dont have 20 minute halftimes and 3 minute commercial breaks after every series then this won’t happen. There is absolutely no need to keep a continuous clock even after first downs

Exactly it's like putting lipstick on a pig. Pretending you're doing something without addressing the real problem. We all know though that they're not going to cut into commercial time that would cut into their revenue.

12 games total... if they win 6 or more I'll be pretty damn happy. Watched a good bit of the A&M series, and this team is still figuring it out a bit (even the coaching staff). But those 4 matchups will for sure help them sharpen the iron.

It’s a good way for them to make a change and act like they care about shortening games. If they really wanted to make games shorter then the clock needs to run on out of bounds plays. I don’t think they’ve changed that rule yet. Just on 1st downs.

Or if they really wanted to make a change they could have less commercials. Can’t take away those advertising dollars though!

That's kind of the purpose of the broadcast, though.

That's one huge speedo if you keep your shades up in em while dancing.

The goal, I believe, is to reduce the number of plays in a game, maybe in preparation for a longer season for teams in a 12 team playoff. But there could be some other reason in play, because you could take one very specific step to shorten games without changing rules. Just shorten the game; have four 14 minute quarters, or four 13 minute quarters, etc. That's more predictable than changing clock rules IMO.

you get double points if you start those players.

Absolutely heartbreaking.

If they truly wanted to make games shorter without changing rules, they could make the quarters 14 minutes each. But you are probably right. The networks have no interest in shortening game times.

 

[Ashevillevol]

It’s going to take a while to get past that one. There could be permanent damage.

 

[drvenner]

When it doesn’t touch or come from the front, the rule makes no sense to me.

I feel your pain. There are a lot of dumb rules in sports. As a Raiders fan, the tuck rule is among the very most stupid of all time. Also, fumbling out of the endzone being an auto recovery for the defense and getting the touchback is beyond stupidity.

I would be interested in listening to it…. After working with my son…. I realized most hitting instructors that helped my son….didn’t have a clue what they were talking about.

this is awesome…..
