REPLY: Not exactly sure about NFL rules, but the NCAA rules say that a live ball becomes dead as provided in the rules or when an offical sounds his whistle (even if inadvertent) or if he otherwise signals the ball dead. Unless I'm mistaken (Juice, TxMike, etc....please keep me straight on this) the ump signalling incomplete would have caused the ball to become dead if the game were played under NCAA rules, sort of an 'inadvertent signal.'
This is covered in NCAA 4-1-2a.
