here are some of the Pat fans remarks:

1. Myles Fraser We must spread the truth and get the NFL to investigate this game.

16. Patrick Corcoran The clock was seriously screwed up. This needs to be investigated.

26. Alex R The Pats Deserve an Investigation!

38. Dave Rosenthal I can't believe this isn't a big story. I mean, we should be 19-0, but the NFL hates that Pats, so instead we have to go through this the rest of our lives knowing we got jipped.

62. Michael J Tremblay Such an error is unacceptable and highly suspicious

68. jessica Logsdon everything the pats do is looked at with close detail just cause it was a different team doesn't mean it should be handled any different

85. Aaron Baker 18 - 1*

91. Bradley Whitaker The referees seemed as though they wanted the Patriots to finally lose.

105. alex ketabi this must be investigated. this completely proves that the patriots should be super bowl champions

109. Andrew Paterson It is obvious that, whether by accident or intent, the clock was kept in the last 1:40 illegally and in such a way that it cost the New England Patriots a fair chance to win the Super Bowl. This is not bitterness talking, I actually believe the outcome would or could have been different. Please, at the very least an acknowledgement or apolgy, if not your ordering of a replay of the game from that point on, even though I realize how much that is to ask.

119. Brandon Lathrop Proven That the game was over after eli was tackled, should have been a patriots win, this was a all set up by the nfl as a conspiracy.

192. Erik Frenz I don't know much about the rules of the NFL but as a Patriots fan if this is true I feel cheated. If this is true there should seriously be a replay of the last 1:40 of the Super Bowl. I didn't bet on it myself, but a lot of people lost or gained a lot of money on this game and the real outcome deserves to be known.

193. John Vairo I would like to call out all the hypocritical Giants' fans here. If you think you're so amazing, then why are you so afraid to possibly play another game? According to you, the Super Bowl is more important than any other game. So if you were so "dominant" in this "fixed" game, why are you so afraid to replay 2 minutes of a game or even a whole additional game? You talk so high and mighty like you're the greatest team ever, but then hide in the corner, content with the excuse of "Well, we won. It doesn't matter if it was fixed or not." I strongly encourage the commissioner of the NFL to investigate this matter, because to not, would destroy the integrity of the game, and will make me stop watching the NFL from now on, because it is clearly fixed.

heres some funny remarks:

174. David F*ckin' Tyree WE STOMPED YOU OUT!!

176. Golf pro in Hawaii Hey ANYONE WANT TO BUY A COPY of the Rams SB practice in 2001?

178. Ima Crybaby Patsfan I'm a cry baby pats fan, and I don't remember that the Giants had 3 timeouts, and brady would have had less time to miss 4 times.

180. Steve Grogan Can we look into S.B. XX also? I think we got ripped off then also.I hope I'm not coming off like a loser like the rest of these bozos. I just feel if we had another 30 seconds............

183. Tom Brady This was a good idea

185. Giselle Bundchen Well if Tom would have worn my bra that matched the panties he had on, he would have played better.

197. Matt Damon Would all of you please stop embarrassing the rest of us Patriot fans? What the hell is wrong with you? We lost, we got beat, they pummeled us, they made us look like a cracked crab. STOP THE MADNESS YOU IDIOTS....Who is that moron below who wants to "Replay the last 1:40"? WTF? Do you ride the short bus to school? I should have Robin Williams give all of you counseling for this asinine petition. The NFL is going to laugh at all of us and this just might make Arlen Spector look into what drugs the Pats are giving to their fans. SHUT THE HELL UP and stop with this sore loser crap. Gird your balls and take it like Ben Affleck

**P-Rez25** · 02-11-2008, 09:27 PM

**K Train** · 02-11-2008, 10:52 PM

The last quote was funny as hell!!lol. But not as funny as the pathetic excuse for these Patriots fans. I don't mind the Pats, I got no beef with the. Some of my friends are even Pats fans, and I lived in Foxboro for a year even. But shut the hell up!! Jesus, these people make me laugh. Id love to see what the Pats fans on the board think of this, and even if anyone signed it...lol

Quote:

Though the guy on the video acts like he knows what he's talking about, he doesn't. (His mistake was assuming that the FOX announcers were giving out complete, accurate information.) Rule 4, Section 5, Article 5 expressly permits a Referee's timeout "when there is the possibility of a measurement for a first down, or if the Referee is consulting with a captain about one."

That's precisely what happened. We've watched the video. After the play, Carey and other members of the crew were gathered in an effort to determine whether Jacobs had made a first down. Though a measurement wasn't deemed necessary, Mike Carey had to eyeball the situation before making a decision.

That's why six seconds were actually added to the clock. The clock should have stopped once it became clear that whether Brandon Jacobs had made it past the sticks would require a look-see.

As the disgruntled Pats fans are now arguing, Carey had zero discretion to kill the clock while he tried to confirm whether it was first-and-ten Giants, or first-down Pats. And that contention is just flat wrong

PFTs take on it.
