Then as soon as the ref puts the ball in play they have time to snap it and attempt the fg.Its my guess thats exactly how it would have played out,which is bullshit.There needs to be a rule against that happening.

I just went back and looked at replay,the f ing clock operator never started the clock at the beginning of the play,if it would have been overturned it would have been a convoluted mess trying to figure it out but I think they would have said 5 seconds left.The clock actually shows 12 seconds when he fumbles,if he doesnt fumble that would have given them time to spike it,anyway glad it didnt go down like that because it would have been a mess

"Normally, if it's outside the two [minute warning], we would shut the play down in that situation," Triplette explained. "But there were no timeouts in that situation.

"We just didn't shut it down in that situation because that would have given an unfair advantage."
