2nd and 46 and you don't understand it because it was incorrect. Somebody messed up REALLY REALLY bad. I'm thinking it was the refs but its not a judgement call. Its something that if McCarthy had got in their ear and demanded an explanation would have no doubt been sorted out. I'm sure he was too busy slapping high fives on the sideline like the other millions of Packers fans when he was the only person in the world who could actually have an impact.

I looked this up after the game. To my knowledge, personal fouls are always assessed, either from the line of scrimmage, spot of the foul, the end of the run, or on the kickoff (whichever is appropriate for that particular play). You never have to make the decision to accept or decline the penalty. Whenever the ref makes the announcement, he never says anything about accepting or declining. The refs fricked up badly and are being let off the hook for that.
