I really think you'd lose some of the exciting finishes to games that you have now. For example, in a tie game: with 2 minutes left team A drives down the field using the current methods, time outs/spiked balls/pass plays and scores a field goal with 20 seconds left. Team B drives down the field, tries to kick a 60 yard FG, fails, game over. Under the rules you're suggesting team a just takes their time getting down the field, they probably do a run play on their last play instead of a pass play out of bounds, let the clock roll into extra time, kick their FG, game over, ho-hum. Think about the ending to the Green Bay v. Dallas game. Your rule would directly impact how that game played out in the end.</blockquote>
