Moot point now, but if they completed the hail mary...

Yes, because the TD happened in regulation time.

d2bets · 02-06-12, 01:29 AM

I know that's the rule, but I wonder if they would have mobbed the field and just said eff it.

paranoyd androyd · 02-06-12, 01:30 AM

they would've eventually lined up for it after refs cleared the field and then would've knelt it

Can you imagine the screaming and hand wringing if that had happened?!?

Not that hard getting the players off the field.

no, they wouldn't of kicked it. I had -2.5.

they would just say 'eff it' ... and call the game with the pandamonium. then the books would've ruled the game a 2-pt winner and buried all those tickets. then 4 days later Pac 10 officials, a la the USC game earlier this year, would've demanded that a point be added to the final score of the Pats game... resulting in a 3-pt win.

and none of the books would honor it.

that's what would've happened.

just my luck

well that's exactly what would've happened so yeah. refs would've absolutely had to clear the field and made the team at least line up for it since it's the rule. brady would've then knelt it.

And it would have been the 1st time in NFL history that a Superbowl was decided by 2 points.

That looked likely to happen for awhile there in the 4th.
