Sorry to divert from the officiating perspective, but just gotta complain from a coaching perspective. You might want to quick kick with 60 seconds left, but with 6 secs. that's just crazy. Too much can go wrong.

What you do is try to run that 6 secs. off the clock running, or standing with tight pass protection. If the circumstances were a little different a retreat to the end zone might be in order. Whatever, the possibility of leaving a second on the clock with your opponents to snap the ball is better than producing a loose ball and scramble, which is what you get even if you execute the quick kick well.
