Well, not to crap on your post, but the last one is the only one I'd really consider "stunning"...maybe the review too.

I wasn't one of them. :cool:
Neither was I

I didn't post "Just run out the clock" and I'm usually quite aggressive. But in that case I was sure thinking it...Glad to be wrong.

-For a team to score 10 in two minutes, without help of a turnover is very rare.
-15 plays getting run in two minutes...also extraordinary
-98% of kickers have never made a 60FG in their entire careers...esp. at sea level. Maher knocked 2 in.

I guess we have different definitions of stunning.

Maher's kicks were the one I definitely consider stunning.

When I think of "stunning", I think of something that I've never seen before, or something that seems hard to believe.

The last two minutes of game time can last between 5-25 minutes in real-time.

What was the NFL explanation as to why they decided to review the catch AFTER a timeout and a successful FG? Shocking scenes…
That was weird, if they pull some stupid stunt like not stopping the play on time and if the review does not reverse the on field call made by the ref then the play that they let happen should stand. (Unless the calls is reversed of course)
Even better if the play has already happened forget about reviewing the play before.
