There is no easy remedy for what happened here. The "god rule" does allow R the flexibility to handle such situations as he feels is fair, thus making any decision he makes covered by rule.
I have no problem with LJ stopping the clock to correct the down box in this situation. It is a bit harder to explain after the play that "it is really 4th down now but we just decided not to correct it on the box before the last play....". I feel it is easier to add time back on the clock, reset the 25 second clock and go.
Lets not get too dogmatic and accusitory in our opinions here..it is a learning forum
peace
