Listening to the audio synced with the game, there's no way they could've sensibly stopped the game and gone back under the current rules - a whole new passage of play had begun and ended by the time they realised what had happened.
Still, funny shit that it didn't happen to us, really - I'd say I think we've had our fair share of bad decisions, but I also expect most fans feel like that.
Outcome won't involve any extra points or goals or replays, because that's all very mad, it'll just be a review of the process and someone gets suspended for a while.
'Under the current rules' is the most important part of your post. This whole drama has come about precisely because the current rules are obviously wrong and need investigating and amending urgently. When an important decision is so obviously wrong there has to be some process to overrule it and then carry on with the game.
