game clock

[gjn23]

one thing i dont understand......why does the game clock start on a change of possession when the punt/ko return is run out of bounds or when on a 4th down attempt an inc pass is the last play

:shrug:


stupidest rule ive ever seen

They were simply trying to speed up the game. It sucks when you are the team on defense and the other team is trying to run out the clock, but that is the new rule.

i know what they are trying to do, but my question remains the same......if you get out of bounds and/or and inc pass happens why is the clock started?????

upon receiving a kick and knowing the clock is gonna start, shouldnt you get rewarded for getting out of bounds like every other play in the game???

have yet to meet anyone or hear anyone who liked this rule. I agree, it sucks.
