Conservative calls like that drive me nuts. Burns makes a bad throw so you basically concede 3rd and 5?! Also enough with the wildcat.

They didn't want to risk Burns throwing a pick.  The last time in that situation he took a big sack.  They didn't want to risk giving up the FG.

That is the functional equivalent of punting on third down.
