The 777 is fly-by-wire and even with the autopilot disconnected it has some authority over the flight controls. These "protections" are over-bank, over-speed, and stall protection. That would help keep it stable for awhile, but I would expect that the aircraft would eventually enter a turn, begin a shallow dive, and impact at high speed.
