There is no excuse for an NFL defense to allow that kind of run.

these teams are under 500 for a reason.

RW's throws have been way off this season.  Seattle sports radio has taken notice.

That is a catch?

New rule for this year:

Quote

The new rules defining a catch include: 

1. Control of the ball. 
2. Two feet down or another body part. 
3. A football move such as: 
» A third step; 
» Reaching/extending for the line-to-gain; 
» Or the ability to perform such an act. 

The key change to the rule eliminated the "going-to-the-ground" element of the previous rule. 

The NFL hopes the new rule will eradicate some of the frustration fans, coaches and players had with apparent catches -- like Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant's against Green Bay in the 2014 playoffs, or Steelers tight end Jesse James' reversed TD against the Patriots this past season -- being deemed incomplete.

I would have said fuck it and went for it on 4th and 2. No matter if they were deep in their own territory. I feel better picking up 2 yards than relying on this defense getting the ball back with enough time left.

Yep that was a dumb decision. You don't punt on 4th and 2 and rely on this defense, especially with that little time left, 1 timeout and the defense has been poor this quarter. You could tell Rodgers wanted to stay out there on 4th down.

Why in the fuck would you not go for it there? Take the ball right out of Rodgers hands. Good call, Mike

I said it right when it happened. Why are you punting? So many coaches get scared in their own end. You need 6 feet for a 1st down. If you can't pick that up, then go home. They only had 1 timeout, less than 5min and their defense has sucked in the 4th qtr. I would never fault a coach for going for it there in that situation. Even if the attempt failed.
