Try play

Based on the rules we use in NF during a try, A should fumble the ball every time they aren't sure they are going to make it to the end zone. We allow them to recover and advance or just recover in the end zone and B can never score so this is a no-down-side situation for A.

REPLY: Excellent point...as long as they can properly disguise their 'intentional' fumble.

One way to eliminate this problem would be to institute the NCAA rule allowing B to return the fumble for 2 points. Thus, A would intentionally fumble at its own peril.
