Re: If you think the Patriots will win the SB you're a dumbass

I've watched the clip a few times.
The league would no doubt put their spin on it, backing up the officials, but there was some 'funny' time-keeping going on on that last Giant drive.
The 6 second ADD -- wft for?
Where the hell did that come from.
Hell, if a correction was to be made it should have been a correction to take time OFF the clock. LOL
But MUCH more egregious than the 6 second add was Mike Carey stopping the clock on the 4th down conversion by NY.
Perhaps (I'm not sure) the official can stop the clock if he thinks that the chains might need to be brought out.
HOWEVER, even giving Carey the benefit of the doubt on that, it is CLEAR that the clock should have again STARTED .... waaaaay .... before it actually did.
NY doesn't make it down the field to get the game-winning score if time was kept correctly, IMO.
Perhaps folks are 'lazy' and don't want to think this one through.
Just content that NY was better ... they won, it's over, forget it.
But I've got a DEEP distrust of NFL officiating, so a situation like this is quite fascinating to me.
Me thinks the Patsies got baked. hahaha
