From the previous posts it appears most officials consider a 12th leaving the field to not be worth much of their bother.

A player one step from being off the field obviously had no bearing on the play as most of you have already agreed.

Can the NFL use a little common sense here?
There you go sensationalizing things again. The NFL rule is as it is partly to remove judgment from the officials. This way, the game is more consistent. Surely players and coaches making millions are accountable for fielding the correct number of players.

The play was properly reviewed and Mike Carey properly threw the flag after review.

If you don't like the rule, then that's fine. (Such fact only shows you don't understand professional football.) But to dis IR? POW.....
