I only watched the first half of it, but this video is a joke. It has no merit.
You're a patriots fan, so I'll forgive your understanding of the rules. You aren't use to them being properly enforced against your team.

Yeah I dont know about the whole rigged thing. There is a ton of money involved in the business though and easily there could be corruption. It's been seen in other sports and sometimes things dont seem right
But he didn't hit him. He rolled up under and the punter landed on him. If the punter's momentum is where the contact comes from, it doesn't matter that it's the plant foot. It's not a personal foul.

I do have a problem with the clock if it's actually true. Other than that, it is what it is. Time to move on and focus on getting better.
I was wondering what happened there when it happened. But then I guess I got distracted by the fumble. I didn't put those two together. I think they started the 40 seconds when he went out of bounds (when that is wrong) and stopped the clock as they should. So re watching it and counting the seconds, it was 40 seconds, but they're not supposed to start the clock until the ball is placed. The play clock starts when the game clock starts, right?
40-SECOND PLAY CLOCK
Article 1 It is a delay of the game if the ball is not put into play by a snap within 40 seconds after the start of the play clock. The play clock operator shall time the interval between plays upon signals from game officials. The 40-second interval starts when a play ends, unless Article 2 below applies.
25-SECOND PLAY CLOCK
Article 2 In the event of certain administrative stoppages or other delays, a team will have 25 seconds, beginning with the Referee’s whistle, to put the ball in play by a snap or a kick. Such stoppages include, but are not limited to, the following:
(a) a change of possession;
(b) a charged team timeout;
(c) the two-minute warning;
(d) the expiration of a period;
(e) a penalty enforcement;
(f) a Try; or
(g) a Free Kick.
A 25-second interval will be used in these situations, even if the 40-second clock is already counting down

Maybe someone else who has the whole game recorded can confirm this, but when the game was on and just now, I went back and counted after he steps out of bounds. It was 40 seconds. Now, the clock does stop because he went out of bounds, but 40 seconds after he stepped out of bounds, the play clock went off. I think the refs had this right but the person making this video doesn't know the rules. I don't blame him because I had to ask for confirmation.
As for the 58 seconds that went off the clock on that one play, when are the coaches given the choice of timeout over a delay of game? I have seen that happen before, but I don't know when or why. Only in the last two minutes? Only with formation penalties? Or am I just confused?
I know that that is not what happened in this game. There was a delay and they called a timeout before there was a delay called. (Which never was called.)
the block in the back pisses me off because of the same non-call in last years Super Bowl

If there's an injury inside two minutes, a team either has to use a TO or there is a ten second run-off. That's the closest I can think of to what you are describing.
