I have often thought after an incomplete pass the clock could start when the official marks the ball ready for play and not when the ball is snapped.  The same thing when a play goes out of bounds.  I don't know what the answer is but the game have to speed up some way.

The problem is that most proposals to shorten the game also reduce the 
number of plays run (eliminating reviews is an exception). That's what 
they did last year with a couple of changes and just about everyone 
hated it. The cynic in me says it won't happen until the longer games 
start to cost the programs money.
