It appears that the left side of the field was wide open for a solid return and he had good blocking out front.
Morgan Burnett did what he felt was best...just slide to the ground doing his best Aaron Rodgers (100% healthy) impression.
it was certainly a surprize ... different.

One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.
John Maxymuk, Packers By The Numbers
FUCK!
We had 'em. Damnit!
I would like to know why Clay was out when Richard Sherman is out there, clearly hurt, and the safety was ballin' with a separated shoulder. He came back - so it wasn't too bad of an injury.
It's the lack of killer instinct that gets me. 55 minute of utter domination and then they quit. The defense had this game won. The offense, again, the offense failed to live up to their billing.
I hope the taste of defeat is bitter and stays in their mouths for the next year.
Eddie Lacy is soft. He needs to watch this game over and over again and see how Lynch shouldered his team and willed them to victory.
Peppers wasn't going to block, he was waving him down. By the time he saw Burnett not slowing down, he would have gone by.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Julius will be back. He has made more money than he knows what to do with. He wants a super bowl. Expect him back at a team friendly two year deal. Same with Tramon Williams. While he hasn't made Peppers money, TWill made himself plenty of money. He'll be back too.
TWill looks pretty good to me. He isn't elite anymore but he is still a good starter and a solid leader. I have no problems with him hanging around for a few more years. He's only, what, 32 anyway?
(I could be wrong - but I perceive the guys that leave around 31+ have typically never been paid or aren't wanted back.)
Brad Jones was the key on Seattle's Fake Field Goal
"Jones showed up on the left side, which meant undrafted rookie tackle Garry Gilliam would get the throw if necessary. Gilliam, a converted tight end out of Penn State, hadn’t caught a touchdown since high school. "I broke the huddle like, Please be on my side, please be on my side," Gilliam says. "And then [Jones] was."
If Bostick just takes out Matthews, Nelson doesn't have anyone within 2 yards of him and has a clean try at the ball.
Go PACK

Actually, showing that video clip makes it even worse for me. Now my nightmares will be even more vivid.
I know that there were many plays that were there for the taking but I've come down to special teams being what we thought it was -- one step away from costing the team a game. they had 2 huge game-changing plays that just killed the team. They did force a fumble early but then they gave the game back late.
If they don't shake things up on the ST staff, I don't know if I can even watch this team any more (alright, so that's probably not true... I'd come crawling back next September).

Can we also blame Slocum for not knowing the onsides-kick rules???
RULES OF ONSIDE KICKS
The NFL has a very specific set of rules governing onside kicks which make it hard for the kicking team to recover the ball. Every football player on the kicking team must be behind the kicker and may not move until the ball is kicked.
There may be no more than five players on each side of the ball.
The ball must travel at least ten yards OR be touched by the opposing team before the kicking team can recover it. If the ball is kicked out of play, the kicking team is penalized and must kick the ball again.
