I would not say timing has nothing to do with this. If there was 25 seconds left in the game time would matter and the game would not be over.

I said timing has nothing to do with the play in question. If you would look at the original post you will see the question dealt with a play which happened on the last timed down of the 4th quarter. This is what I was responding to.

I understand what you are saying, but timing is always a factor and this is why the game ended on that play with an accepted penalty and was part of the explanation by the WH. Timing always plays a role in penalties and in this case it ended the game.
