His team should've never had a 28-3 lead. The Pats spent the entire 1/2 half dropping perfectly thrown balls, then got their act together and started playing like they should've during the last quarter & a half. The Falcons were so wrapped up with the idea that all you need to win in the NFL is a lethal passing game that they neglected their D for years. After all, D no longer mattered. They finally realized that they needed to have a D with some talent that previous off-season, but that wasn't nearly long enough to build the kind of D they needed. If everyone on the Pats played to their full potential, and just fulfilled the most basic requirements of the jobs they were being paid millions for, it would've been the Pats going into half-time with a 20+ point lead.

I'm not a Partiots' appolgist, but this guy might want to read the NFL rule book:
Clock stoppages like he's pointed out happen all the time, he just never noticed them until his hatred for the Patriots compelled him to pay attention.Rule 4 (Game Timing), Section 5 (Timeouts), Article 5 (REFEREE’S TIMEOUT)
Provided that calling timeout is not in conflict with another rule, the Referee may suspend play and stop the clock (Referee’s timeout) at any time without penalty to either team when playing time is being consumed because of an unintentional delay. Such situations include, but are not limited to:
a) when there is the possibility of a measurement for a first down, or if the Referee is consulting with a captain about one;
b) when there is an undue pileup on the runner, or while determining possession after a fumble while time is in;
c) when there is an undue delay by officials in spotting the ball for the next snap;
d) if the snap is made before the officials can assume their positions. (See 4-6-5-b if it is a repeated act.);
e) when there is an injury to an official or member of the chain crew;
f) during an officials’ conference; or
g) while repairing or replacing game equipment, except player equipment.
After a Referee’s timeout, the game clock will start pursuant to Rule 4, Section 3, as if the Referee’s timeout had not occurred.
The time remaining on the play clock shall be the same as when it stopped. See Rule 4, Section 6, Article 3.
