Carey wasn't even down yet and the clock had already stopped. Techno?

OLD THREAD DO NOT USE FOR THIS WEEK'S GAMES!

I just wanted to answer J5V here, it was on my todo list and I hadn't gotten around to it yet.  I always answer requests!  (Just a little late on this missed one)

I re-checked this last regulation TOR drive and the clock timer was pretty good.  He/she may have been jumping the whistle by a few tenths of a second when it was clear the player was down (both Carey(twice) and Arbuckle)... they aren't supposed to do that, but the timers are (generally) homers so this stuff happens.

Either that or they are the fastest "gun" in the West East and can press that button when they hear the whistle with 0.0 seconds latency!

Verdict: pretty standard in the CFL; my gut says timer was following the action on-field rather than the whistle; worst one was Carey's first run, but all were off by under a second.  So I wouldn't get too worked up about this one.  (They were also very fast starting the clock too... maybe too much coffee?)

(What a crap last 2 mins and O/T in this loss that should have been a win... now I'm bummed out about it again!)

Sorry about that, LOL, and thanks for following through. The timers are definitely homers. The officials are always telling the timers to put time back on the clock after the coach's complain. It happens almost every game.
