I think they were not off given that there was only going to be one play in front of the two minute warning and they only had one time out. If anything the sack on third down hurt them because of the time lost off the clock. But I think Roger's is too cagey to throw it away on third down, if there isn'tan easy completion he holds the ball.
Still Carolina nearly blocked the punt, and if they don't take the penalty could have had the ball st their 40 with 60 seconds left. If they run a play and don't get a TD, they are in a position to get the ball back with 20 seconds left at best and no time outs. I guess if you get the TD and miss the two you would know you need a TD to win rather than hope for a TD and a 2 to tie it up.
