Replay was NOT permitted to overturn the OOB to an incomplete. This is OOB, dead-ball, and the only action that can be post-dead-ball in replay is a fumble recovery. This is a HUGE failure by replay to understand reviewable/not reviewable. Applicable ruling from the Casebook:

Entered the NFL officiating program in the same class as Walt and not a more professional and honest individual on the staff. Had a great 30 year career and proud to know him and be a good friend of his. Congrats Walt on a great 30 years!
The end of an era. Walt Coleman to retire after 30 seasons, the last active official hired by Art McNally. refs.ws/r65

Referees are not perfect either ...mistakes are made and unfortunately this mistake had a huge impact on the final result...great comment by Kurt Warner!!
In light of yesterday, yes sometimes calls cost games... but I dedicated every day of my life 4 30 yrs 2 playing QB - yet I “NEVER” played perfect game, often times missing the easiest throw/read! So 4 me it is hard to realistically hold another to a standard I couldn’t reach!
