Holmgren supports runoff rule as is

[Fat Pang]

I'm not sure that the majority of fans on these forums have suggested that there was a deliberate attempt by the Seahawks to cheat, but looking at the rule objectively (Or at least trying to ) I'm not sure anyone can tell me why one penalty is worth a run-off and one isn't.

The result of the game is never going to change and no-one ever expected it to but one of the key characterisitics of any rule in any game is that it should at least make sense.
