Im not saying what happened to your team is right, but the ref heard Time Out does not matter who it came from in this case and the whistle was blown. Human error is and always will be apart of the game, 1 play does not a loss make, Its a crap thing to say man as yeah your team had a great play and come back. But its a game. Id chalk the Jets up there now with the Oakland Tuck rule, and the Giants Kick rule, and the Lions completing the process rule.

Good explanation.
Of course the NFL is always trying to improve the game...I wonder if this incident will warrant some sort of change to the rule. Or maby even have Ref/coaches use a buzzer of sorts? Seems like a tough situation to 100% iron out.
