Can someone tell me if this play is legal or not.

After watching the Jets/Vikings game, I was in utter shock when Sanchez hiked the ball with 8 seconds left on the play clock. This got me thinking about what play I would have called in that situation. the situation is 2nd and 9, 2:04 will be left on the clock if you let it go down all the way. My understanding of the rules might be a little iffy, so someone please tell me if this is legal or not. I would have Braylon go out for a pass, and purposefully knock the defender down, to make sure he has a wide open catch for the 1st down. Now the 2 min warning has happened, and if they don’t accept we have a 1st down. If they do, wouldn’t we have 2nd and 19 on the other side of the 2 min warning? That means we would be able to take the clock down to 40 seconds with an extra play. Hell, on 3rd down, we can do it again. I feel like this would be a loophole in the system, to keep the ball. Maybe someone else has thought of this already, and there is already a rule in place to counter it.

Get busy winning or get busy losing.

Pretty smart. I don’t think there’s anything that could be done about it. Its basically the same thing as deliberately throwing the ball to the turf to stop the clock (i.e. manipulating the clock for a competititve advantage), except it has the opposite effect.

This is a great idea.

There is a rule.

It’s called Jackass Loophole Maneuver and is a 15 yard penalty.

In all seriousness though,

I hope to god Rex reads your comment and see if its legal or not. It would make people hate us even more if we did something like that. lol I love it, nice thinking.
