I see this post now...yeah, seeing the same---and I Tweeted both things yesterday---offense gets so many breaks . . . they get 41 seconds, not 40, they ref has to (they say) see the :00 on the clock then look down, okay, fine...I am no ref---and I could obviously be wrong, but does it take a full second to do that?

The Bills' go-ahead touchdown came on a play when the ball was snapped almost a full second after the play clock hit zero, and just now the Giants' left tackle, number 78, jumped back into pass blocking position at least a half-second before the snap.
