I agree that it was a collective mistake. McCarthy should have just run the clock out, and punt if Kansas City used a timeout. The fact Favre's arm was hit did effect the movement of the ball, but still I would have wished Favre not try to force a ball into such tight coverage; especially when you consider the situation that the Packers were in at the time. Now it seems that all momentum has shifted to Kansas City. The Packers will be lucky if they pull a win out.
