Intentional grounding, which marks the ball at the spot of the foul and might still include a 5 second count off inside the two minute warning.

I thought it was a 10-second count off, which would have ended the game anyway.

Which still would have left about three ticks on the clock. Collinsworth can be stupid, but not completely. The question is whether or not the kicker could have handled a field goal from that far back.

In any event, the calls in both games yesterday were downright pathetic. The fighting from both the Niners and the Giants down the strech was not only unconscionable, but hopefully fineable. I hope those officials get fined by the League office as well - stupid stuff like not calling a delay of game (in the Steelers-Browns game) on Cleveland was nuts (and I wanted the Browns to win!), and I won't even go into that mess at Candlestick.

At least there was decent competition yesterday (as opposed to the Falcons and Jets blow-outs on Saturday).
