It should not. It should start in on the placement of the ball. That would allow a defense to commit a penalty just to stop the clock if need be, so it makes absolutely no sense.

So are you still claiming they got 4 time outs?

It shouldn't but it does. It happens all the time and is a flawed system. The defense gets punished by giving you an extra down if you choose.

It's a bogus rule, but still a rule.

Right. Atlanta could have just held every play if that were the rule.
