I don't think you guys noticed what really happened. The Seahawks didn't use some "loophole" and take advantage of it. Because of their penalty it and peoples lack of knowledge on the play (around the country), they simply shined light on a POSSIBLE loophole situation. The Hawks had everyone on the line and legally snapped the ball @ 5 seconds left in the game. Nate Burleson was set too far off the line, so they got pushed back 5 yards for illegal formation.

Where was the loophole they took advantage of? All 11 people were up to the line (Burleson was a couple feet back) and set, then ball snapped... so what loophole? They had 5 seconds left; the spike would have stopped the clock at 4 seconds.

What loophole did they take advantage of? Are you saying they "cheated" so they could kick an extra long field goal? How is that logical?

They simply shined light on a POSSIBLE loophole; the Hawks themselves did not actually use the loophole. This is the point a LOT of people do not understand right now.



I hope this clears up some of the confusion over the play, take care and I look forward to the rematch!
