Why is it a bad move to take the proper amount of time off the clock? How is it fair to the defense to only take off a .2 or .3?

It was a very bad move by the R for several reasons. I know people are going to defend him but it was a BAD call to take away the 1.1 instead of maybe .2 or 3.
Would you like to bet that he'll be working on Saturday or Sunday?

First the T blew the whistle & pointed at the line saying he had the ball touched & then hitting the line making it out of bounds. You can see him pointing at the ground clear as day.
You heard the whistle?

Next just like in football you need a angle that is looking straight down the line to say for sure the ball did or did not hit the line. I watched the game on a 61 HDTV DVR played it over & over frame by frame & would not put my life on it that the ball hit inbounds.
Neither would I. i would make such a silly statement. But the ball definitely hit inbounds. it wasn't even close.

Take .2 off & know one on either team is going to say a word about it.
Is that how you make calls, based on whether someone is going to say something or not?

The clock didn't properly start. The officials must determine how much time lapsed from the time it was touched inbounds until it was touched OOB. That's what they did. The rest is just BS. I promise, Hank Nihols will back the call.
