You thought that was a penalty? Incidental contact mean anything? Incidental? You can't put your left arm on a receiver like that downfield. He fell because their feet were tangled up, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a penalty.
Meh, the previous O-PI was BS, but the refs have missed a few holdings. One thing you can't do is make it obvious. They called that PI because he had both arms fully extended on Vasher, even though he didn't really push off. JONES!
The ball was coming out before the knee hit. Absolutely. It was loose as he was going down. Doesn't matter when it actually came out, but he certainly didn't have control over it.
