There was still risk in that throw. Why force it and take the chance when you can just set up for a better opportunity on the next play? They had driven the field and Alex didn't want to demoralize his players by taking a risk that results in a tipped pass INT or a ball that sails a little over and right to the DB.
Ripping into a QB for what amounted to a TD drive on the opening and only possession? That's pretty weak and petty.
