I, too, thought it came out before his hand went forward. In Markbreidt's book, he says that this call was the hardest one for him to make as a referee. Easy to bail out and say incomplete when you see the ball flying forward as hardly anyone will disagree. Showed big time nads on Hochuli's part to go with fumble.
Does signal of incomplete pass trump no whistle? I would doubt it - everybody can hear a whistle but not everyone would see the signal.
Agreed, though, that the Jags would have been at the NFL offices on Monday with tape had they lost.
