They are up by 1 score, Cowboys have 1:34 to get a TD for the win. Will the Giants hold?
 
THE CLOCK MANAGEMENT WAS A DISASTER FOR THE GIANTS. Eli snapping the ball with 10 seconds or more on the clock. Coughlin calling a pass on third and goal. wtf
 
Was thinking the same thing - that looked like the Rutgers Scarlet Giants.
 
Quick rules question....on the play where the giants got the big first down pass to like the 5, and the cowboys player was offsides....the giants declined the penalty. Shouldn't the clock have run like normal? Does the clock stop on a declined defensive penalty?
 
To make matters worse I needed Jennings to score there for my FF team.

This has been one of the absolute worst sports weekends in a very long time. Maybe ever.

I was wondering why the clock was stopped as well.
 
IT really makes no sense for the clock to stop there. The offense is saying "we want the result of the play, not the penalty." Result of the play is a 15 yard completion for a first down. The clock would normally keep running. So basically the clock should wind once the referee calls the penalty declined and they set the ball or whatever. Just seems to make sense to me. That guy going offsides saved the game for the cowboys.
