Wilson had plenty of time and protection. There was no reason for him to get rid of the ball that fast, with 2 downs left to get the TD. If they were going to throw it, the ball should have been pulled back to look for an obvious open guy in the endzone, and if it's not there, throw it away.

Agreed. And there was an obvious open guy in the endzone - Lynch. Watch the replay guys, he was wide open. Russell missed him.
