I also don't know how much most officiating crews pay attention to who is the return man.  Gotta remember that the ref that throws the illegal formation flag is on the LoS and Brown is 40+ yards downfield.

The NFL is basically forced to issue apologies on obviously blown calls because they have to maintain the appearance of neutrality.  Some stuff is blatantly obvious to any sports reporter with the footage and a rulebook.  To deny it would a PR disaster. For example, Joey Porter was clear as day on the field when he was not allowed to be.  How can the NFL deny that they botched the call without appearing biased? 

Just to correct you on one thing.  We alcoholics NEVER forgot to buy the beer.
