5-0, I have never heard of faceguarding being a penalty in the NFL.
I'm not up on the ins and outs of the forceout rule, but I kinda doubt TO would have got both feet down even if no one was on him. He could have, though. We'll never know, but I do think it's not at all certain.
Like you, I am also waiting for a missed kick to be given another chance and then made. How delicious that would be. And I also agree with your point about drops. Frankly, as far as I am concerned the catch that TO went up to get right before Witten's touchdown earned him a couple drops. That one was man-sized.
