Another Monday Night controversy: Panthers clock operator allowed 4 seconds to run off clock AFTER Ted Ginn TD. Cost Patriots an added play.
I noticed it right when it happened, wondering why the clock wasn't stopped. But it happens. Look at Vinatieri's game winning FG in SB XXXVI; that sailed through with like 3 seconds left but time somehow expired.
But the Patriots could have gotten another play with that time. Remember the pass to Dobson with 7 seconds left to set them up for the final one? That took 3 seconds to run.
I saw that Monday night. I was wondering about that, but I figured the time when the ref told them to add three seconds on the clock right before the second to last play of the game was making up for that. The official clock and the clock we see is not the same.

Anyway you look at it, it's another factor. Would it have changed the outcome of the game? don't know. Maybe it would have, maybe not. I just posted it here because it's our team's forum, and figured people would be interested to hear about it.

The clock operator manipulated the clock 3 times over the last 1+ minutes but the refs only reset the clock once. In live time, it was clear as night what the clock guy was up to.
