...passed, got first down and penalty...they may have survived. NO wouldn't have been able to decline the penalty and TB would have been able to get the kick off...but you are correct in saying it probably would have ended quickly after.

Box is right about what he >should< have done...step left and kick...even if the ball only made it to the 5 he probably would have gotten hit by the defender...roughing would have been the call 15 yds and auto 1st down.

Think coach G will be ok down there...tough first loss but looked like he may have enough bricks there to build something respectable.
