Why didn't the clock stop on the last drive?

[MorgulKing]

Anyone else notice the clock not stop when one of our WRs caught the ball and went out of bonds on the last drive?  We lost about 25 secs but nothing was said about it so I maybe I missed something on that play.  Can't recall which receiver...maybe Ginn or Brown, but he definitely looked like he went out of bounds.

I remember Ginn, Funch, and Cotch all were tackled in bounds.  Was it on the play to Stewart to start the drive?

Someone mentioned it earlier that they whistle blew marking forward progress before the player made it out of bounds.

something to that effect anyway.

Yup, I noticed the exact same thing.  My wife and I were going crazy about it.  I honestly want to say it was Brown but in them moments I was so jacked up I probably couldn't have told you if Newton was out catching passes from Olsen.  Whoever it was, they caught the ball and got pushed out at the last second but did not go down in bounds.  Clock kept on ticking.  I also noticed on another play when someone was tackled in bounds that the clock stopped.  Not sure what was going on with all that honestly.

I saw it.. It was the next to last drive with about 5 minutes left.. It was obvious brown was going to step out of bounds and the defender shoved him out. Yet the ref was motioning his arm to keep the clock going. I was pissed

[Wolfpredator]

Exactly.  I forgot to mention it was the second to last drive....not the final drive.  Whatever happened it killed lots of clock.

You are referring to the Philly Brown catch. He wasn't running forward when he went out. I think it's a forward progress issue. DFunch later caught a pass then rolled slightly forward out of bounds on the ground the whole time. The clock stopped that time

Good explanation 

[MorgulKing]

Ok thanks.  It was driving me crazy.

Darn I sure wish the Seahawks had an extra 25 seconds

Actually, the clock does not stop for out of bounds plays until under 4 minutes. I think it is 4 minutes, but it could be 5. But I think it is 4 minutes. Then the clock stops when you step out.

 

You are welcome.

It's 5 and at more than 5 it stops for like 10 seconds then starts up again.

I remember that and I think it was less than 2 minutes but not sure.  Kinda figured ref's were screwing us again but they said upstairs was in charge of clock after last week.for some reason. 

Also thought of the knee at half and with 30 seconds left and no urgency.  Kinda nagged at me too.

I wanted to say 5, but I talked myself out of it. Maybe I am smarter than I thunk I were.
