Is it just me?

Or has the clock not stopped at all when players have ran out of bounds?  First we had the Olsen catch at the end of the first half but it has happened twice in the last 10 mins of the game.  I guess it's a preseason thing.

The clock only stops under 2 min, in the 2nd and 4th quarters

Uhm... that can’t be accurate? Players run out of bounds all the time under 2 minutes to save timeouts.

You’re referring to two minute warnings, I think. But the issue being referred to is the game clock not stopping when a player catches the ball and runs out of bounds.

Clock only stops after the 2 minute warning when a player goes out of bounds.

Here you go. It's not as simple as any of you are suggesting.

well it was under two minutes when Olsen went out of bounds...so that was just poor reffing.

That is a new rule, Olsen was marked down inside the field of play thus the clock didn’t stop. They explained it in the radio feed.

What is the rule exactly? I don't understand how the ref can just choose to mark him down inside the field of play? He wasn't touched and he didn't give himself up... He was sliding to catch the ball not to give himself up. That call is the kind of call that can cost you a game.

The marking him down part was the poor reffing. Unless there’s some weird new rule like college where they’re down as soon as they hit the ground, cuz nobody touched him before he slid out, to my recollection.

It's actually the last 5 minutes of the 2nd and 4th quarters. You're thinking of college football with the 2 minutes.

So,,   if  Greg had been able to run out of bounds, instead of a sliding catch, on his knees catch,,   the clock would have stopped  ??

By being on his knees when the catch was made ,, it was like ...  Greg was giving himself up inbounds ?  so the clock kept running ?

Exactly.  Same as "taking a knee" at the end of the game or when fielding a kickoff.  The play is dead at that spot.
