If so, you know there are many times when you are watching receivers engaged with DB's downfield and you do not have a clue the ball is dead without hearing the whistle. If I do not know it is dead then I suspect there are some players who do not as well.

What you just described does not always stop because there is a whistle. And even if I have a whistle, I may not flag anything if the players are basically engaged with each other and there is not real violent contact. And as long as they stop reasonably, I would not have a foul anyway. This is why I use my voice when I can and yell "It is over...It's over." And I will say that whistle or no whistle.
