I could have sworn the initial ruling on Leinart's scramble was that he was down inches short of the goal line, inbounds, and the clock ran out. Then the officials got together and correctly ruled on the fumble (at least that there was one ... not taking into consideration the spot it went out of bounds). So I'm pretty sure had Leinart not fumbled, the line judge was going to mark him short and that's the game.

This isn't the case. Watch it again, the ref on the goal line immediately waves his arms to stop the clock. He was obviously ruling the ball out of bounds.

I could easily be wrong with my interpretation of what happened.
