I don't know about everyone else but for the past few months I have been watching many football games, college and professional and I hate the fact that coaches can call a last second timeout (last fraction of a second time out) to anticipate a snap call and disrupt a play at the end of a game.
Maybe the coaches have the right to do so, but putting an official in the position of listening to or looking for a time out call while observing the football and trying to determine whether a snap is in progress is almost impossible.
Guess that's where the replay system can help.
This activity cost the Baltimore Ravens the game last night.. Baltimore had them stopped on fourth down late in the game, but a last (fraction of a second) timeout was called by their coaches, negating the play.. Glad to see this gamble can work the other way too.
