Is it just me?

The marking him down part was the poor reffing. Unless there’s some weird new rule like college where they’re down as soon as they hit the ground, cuz nobody touched him before he slid out, to my recollection. 

That was my thinking.  Is it a new rule that you don't have to be touched to be down anymore?

That is a new rule, Olsen was marked down inside the field of play thus the clock didn’t stop. They explained it in the radio feed. 

The radio feed was wrong then because that is not the rule.  The rule says that if you slide (doesn't matter if it's feet or head first), to give yourself up, then the play is marked at the spot the slide began.  However, in this case, Greg was sliding to make the catch, not give himself up.  So, in this situation, the rule doesn't apply.

Regardless, I read somewhere else that the ref thought he had been touched down.  They didn't keep the clock running because of that rule.  It was a mistake by the ref.

Guys! Stop! On the radio after the game Marty told Szoke (?) that he asked about the play and the ref admitted to him that he made a mistake, that he should have stopped the clock. Like Marty said, it was preseason for everybody. Let it go.

You’re referring to two minute warnings, I think. But the issue being referred to is the game clock not stopping when a player catches the ball and runs out of bounds.
