A QB can call a TO with 1 second left on the play clock if he sees something he doesnt like...so can the coach for that matter.
What if the team trying to stop the FG sees an alignment that may lead to a fake..should they not be allowed to call a TO to change personel? What if they only have 10 guys on the field? A TO is a TO whenever its called. Again all the K had to do was kick the ball again...thats a"him" problem not a rule problem.

You don't understand the rule. I don't have a problem if the coach runs to the official and signals time out before the ball is snapped and the officials blow the whistle. The way this new rule works is he can tell them that he's wants a time out just as the ball is snapped so he doesn't have to time anything or signal time out. Basically the play gets executed and doesn't count. They have given coaches the power to cancel a play. It's dumb IMO and I'm not the only person that thinks that. There was nothing wrong with the old method of the coach or players signalling a time out.
I don't have a vested interest in the Redskins as I actually picked the Texans in my point spread but I just don't like this new rule.
