Going a bit OT, as a previous poster said, the penalty for false start would be next to nothing...
Theoretically, would it be possible to try to get the defense to jump offsides an indefinite amount of times, only to take the half the distance penalty for false start or delay every time? If Seattle doesn't jump offsides and sat there for penalty after penalty against the pats, eventually they would be on their heels, making for an easy sneak after about five minutes of Brady barking at the DTs. Basically just tell stork not to snap the ball under any circumstance unless the Seahawks don't fall for it for the 20th time in a row.
Am I missing something here? Is there an eventual loss of downs or anything?
It almost never gets called, but they could be warned and then charges with a "palpably unfair" act which would result in a TD.
