Biggest issue I have with the NFL is not stopping the game clock to reset the chains on first downs, buy far the worst thing in the game.

Imagine the drama if the clock stopped while they reset the chains like in the NCAA, it's outrageous to think you can run out of time because the Refs can't set up a chain in time. The sudden death OT is sad too, but when the game can not continue due to the officials having to set up the chain, that is just wrong.
