it would be the exact same as it is right now... the clock still stops inside of two minutes.

No, not at all; two scores down and time fleeting. It would happen in nearly every game.

your argument is that players will get more injured with the new rules because they will be trying to run plays faster near the end of the game?

And you are saying teams don't try to run plays faster when they are down two scores at the end of games under the current rules?

I am not sure we watch the same games, if they can't stop the game clock what do you think will happen?

the game clock will stop on an incomplete pass until the ball is spotted...

they can stop the game clock by getting out of bounds...

they can stop the game clock by gaining a first down if there are less than two minutes in the game...

they can stop the game clock using timeouts...

However, if they can't stop score enough points in the allotted time, I think it's safe to assume they will lose the game

I guess i just look at this as an equivalent to the NFL, do you think the NFL suffers more injuries because of the same clock rules?
