Sure does make you wonder though,

MAYBE DOUG WANTED TO RUN A PLAY THERE TO KEEP CLOCK RUNNING AS FAR UNDER 2:00 WARNING AS HE COULD. JUST A THOUGHT.

INSTINCTS SAY JUST STOP, TAKE A BREATHER, GET SHIT TOGETHER DURING 2 MINUTE WARNING.

GOT OUTPLAYED BY A BETTER TEAM FOR THREE QUARTERS. BUT STILL HAD A SHOT TO PULL IT OFF.

I'm still wondering what would have happened if they accepted the penalty prior to the fake punt. I know it's hindsight, and Doug did what most coaches would do...but the distance to the line of gain was so short that they were begging for some kind of shenanigans.

Doug wanted to keep the crowd out of it. They would get worked up at the 2:00 warning. Still if that play is not in the End Zone, what's the point? They get worked up anyway on the next play.
