Why is it a mockery if they're just taking advantage of the rules? They ended up doing nothing with that wimpy one yard first down anyways and had to punt the ball away for real a couple of plays later. This was moron Maas thinking he was some sort of genius by gaining a first down on that play - he's too dumb or cowardly to have his offence produce an 18 yard gain for a 1st down (a well run deep dig by a big target receiver easily achieves this; so does a well executed screen to a good RB often); love to see Maas try this play again in a big play-off game = what should happen is a fast closing defender blasts the RB trying the pooch punt and another defender picks it up for a scoop & score.
