Pass at the 1 yard line

This phrase's origin stems from the 2015 Super Bowl and has a dual meaning depending on which side you rooted for. Passing at the one yard line can be synonymous with the word "pointless" (In the case of Seahawks fans) or it can be synonymous with "game changer" (As viewed by Patriots fans). To drive home the point, the user of this phrase would likely attach the synonym to the end to explain what was just said to them.
