Basically if you are running out of time, you can just commit a penalty to stop the clock. The clock would have ran out on Seattle. Shouldn't there be a 10 second run off in that situation if Arizona decides to decline the penalty?

No the clock was already stopped before the play that had the hold so they accepted the hold and the clock stays stopped because the play never happened.

so if they decline it the clock should keep running right? however it didn't because the play is stopped due to a penalty. if they decline and clock keeps running seattle can still spike the ball or get kicker on field now due to stoppage in play. the penalty benefited the seahawks which should never be the case

I believe they started the play with .19 to go so they would've run up and clocked it anyway.

he went down with 10 seconds to go it would have been very close... and lets just say he didn't make the 1st down there is no chance they could have rushed the kicker in time. its a flaw that benefits the offense.
