On the 12th man penalty - why didn't the clock go back to :17 seconds?
Why would it go back to 17 seconds?

I am now convinced that if it weren't for the slip up against the Giants we would have won the SB. Yeah consolation prize!!!
Do we play NYG in 2012? If so opening game I bet.
Yep. Packers play at the Giants.

I find the Patriots extremely boring to watch. Seems like 90% of their plays are pass plays that travel no more than 5 yards down field. Brady is one of the best ever, but he really is a glorified dink and dunker.

Think about it this way - why not always play 12 (or 12+) guys on defense if the offense will lose time if they accept. Then with 00 seconds - it's only one play left since you can't end on def penalty.
Guess it's not a dead ball penalty...

Because you can do it repeatedly to waste the clock and prevent the O from getting somewhere. The only protection is the Ref calling an unsportsmanlike penalty, yielding 15 yards and a new first down.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

Theoretically, it sounds good. Except you keep giving the offense at extra 5 yards and chances at competing the play anyways. It's not like a play hasn't been made against 12 men before. Coaches are never going to do that on purpose. I'm not sure Brady could have gotten it to the end zone without those 5 extra yards. He's kind of a noodle arm.

Because he is a idiot. He's the guy that mussed up Raymond Berry's hair and shook his shoulders when he passed by with the trophy. That's disrespect #1. Then he leans in and on national television spits on the Lombardi Trophy. That's disrespect #2. Brainless and classless.
It's stupid to have this habit on walking the trophy through the players on the way to the podium. In the excitement of everything there's no telling what they will do for the camera. The trophy belongs to the team owner. He should get first possession of it. After the presentation, then hand it off to the players for their celebration.
