re: What in the hell was Flynn waiting for on the last play of the GB vs PITT game?

I think Flynn went into a mental twist and forgot that the clock was starting with only 10 seconds. You could hear the crowd getting anxious and the ref walking towards him while he's standing there.

He locked up.

I think you're absolutely right. Dude just froze.

When the Packs snapped the ball on that false start penalty, they snapped it with 24 seconds left. For some reason, they had the play clock at 20 seconds. There should have been 14 seconds left after the run off, not 10 seconds I think everyone screwed that one up

This. That whole sequence was weird

It was 2nd down.

They were ready to snap the ball and the head ref decides to make another ref stand over the ball instead of getting out of the way and starting the clock. That ref is still on the ball when the head ref starts the clock. Then they have to be set for a full second. It was shite all around.

The last 3 min of that game needed the benny hill theme playing

The ref clearly said the clock would start running again on his signal, I guess he wasn't paying attention

Also why the frick were they going to run the ball when they got that false start penalty?

It was 3rd down. Flynn screwed the frickin pooch there. Stupid MF'r.

---

It was second down because the penalty erased the run

I don't believe these theories that he didn't know the clock was running. They had just ran a running play, the ref mentioned the 10 second run off, and then he signaled the clock to run after the ball was spotted.

The most egregious thing was a combination of not spiking it/missing wide open Nelson.

Even after running the ball with no TO?

Doubtful. You pass twice and of you don't get in then on 4th you can run since time wouldn't be a factor then.

That Flynn's MO.

Y'all (LSU fans) don't remember the 2007 Auburn game where he threw the game winner to D. Byrd with like 2 seconds left? We were down by only one point with 33 seconds on the clock and needed another few yards to make it easy for Colt David. Flynn drained the clock down to 8 seconds before receiving the snap and throwing a TD to Byrd. It all worked out in the end, but holy shite it was fricking close.

This. Even though it was Flynn's fault, people acted like "the mad hatter" opted for a last second td pass instead of the easy gw field goal.
