Perhaps. I will say that your point is why I always get pissed when people say "well if this didn't happen then this woulda happened". For example, team gets 3 points instead of 7. Next drive other team gets 3. Person says well if we had scored a TD we would be leading by 4 right now. How can you say that? Who knows how that second drive turns out if you had scored a TD instead of a field goal. Hell, who knows how that 2nd drive turns out if there is a clock malfunction and the drive starts a minute later than it originally would have.
