Never would I allow them to snap the ball after time expired and run the play. That could place the defense at a huge disadvantage.

Why? Doesn't the 25-second rule still apply? If anything, it would seem to advantage the
offense if you gave them up to the expiration of regulation time to put the ball in play, and then an additional 25 secs. after whistling & signaling a new RFP. I wouldn't call it a
huge difference either way, but it seems to run in that direction to me, not the way you think. FAIK your way may be the way the rules committee intended it, but simply playing thru the end of regulation time for the period with the ball still RFP and the 25 seconds still running has got to be less advantageous for team A.
