If you call a time out and it becomes 4th down (thus ending up with the same-ish kick), guess who gets the ball back make or miss?
Not only do they get the ball back, but they ALSO have at least 1 timeout. But maybe even 2.
So ... I have a HARD time believing that if MM did the thing "3yr olds were calling for", and LAC gets the ball back, that MM is getting ANY love from those that are crying about it today.
Just call it a hunch.
P.S. Do you know how many scientists (you know, people smarter than 3 year olds) OPPOSED Einstein's Theory of Relativity? Something to think about when the "masses" says something is wrong because it was not the norm.
