Interesting take on the game clock - Giants caught a couple of breaks on the final drive...

Got about an extra minute due to some sloppy timekeeping. I remember agreeing with Aikman that something was wrong. No biggie, but an interesting take.

    There was sloppy time-keeping THROUGHOUT the game. I remember several times wondering why the clock wasn't ticking when it should've been.

    Not sure if it really affected the outcome of the game but you'd think that they'd have the "best of the best" running the board. I remember at least three plays where the clock was not running. Kind of emabrrassing for the NFL front office I'd think....Guarantee that it won't happen next year.

    Great game none the less. Congratulations to the Giants for a well deserved win.

    CB, it was an OBSERVATION, not an excuse. I noticed the same thing about the clock,
    with i think 1:20 left, Giants ran a running play, were stopped, and the clock stops also. Wierd

    This coming from the QUEEN of excuses?!?!

    The OP said, "No biggie, but an interesting take." or is your reading comprehension on par with settling wagers?

    Take a hike, welcher.
