We have all made mistakes. The problem is that Official mistakes are GLORIFIED.

What should have happend (and maybe the NFL will change the rule) is that the Charges should have ben awarded the ball EVEN THOUGH Hochuli blew his whistle however, that's not what the CURRENT rule states.
Easy to say -- what happens when 18 of the 22 players stop playing (as they're supposed to) on the inadvertent whistle? Do we just reward the player(s) that ignore the whistle and don't stop?
