Apparantly the receivers didn't know the playcall on some plays

But, if he's up and running - even in the wrong direction - before an official blows the whistle, to me, that should NOT be considered giving himself up and no official signal should have been given until he either was tackled, ran out of bounds or fumbled the ball.

Then again, this is also the same officiating crew that had a guy blow the whistle because Josh Allen was out of bounds well BEFORE Josh Allen was even near the sideline!

I agree. And looking at the video, he didnt give himself up the way he should have. In that situation or any turnover situation, a player giving themselves up should have to lay on the ground for a minimum of at least a couple or so seconds before ref blows the whistle. 

In this case he didn't lay there as seen below at the 11:15 mark of the highlight vid which was that final play.

This is a big deal imo, and the NFL needs to make a rule like that happen if it doesnt exist. If it does exist, then the refs screwed it up. Its really not much different than a player doing something dumb like dropping the ball celebrating right before crossing into the endzone even though they have all intentions of scoring. A lapse of judgement due to excitement should not trump technicalities of rules.
