This isn't a brand new situation this year. There have been many last second timeouts where the kicker goes through with the kick, only to have to do it over. It just used to be more obvious to the announcers and viewers because you'd see the defensive player call the timeout, or the ref signal for it within your scope of vision. And so you knew it didn't count earlier, whereas now we're finding out after the play.

I heard one ex-coach say he didn't like to give the kicker essentially a practice try. It gives him the opportunity to make adjustments if he misses, or to try to repeat the motion if he makes it. Seems as valid as anything on the other side of the argument.

I think we'll start seeing more coaches *not* call the timeout, as maybe the kickers and offenses will be expecting it and maybe won't be as focused on the first attempt.
