I seemed pretty clear to me that the second foot comes down out of bounds (well out of bounds).

The push out was totally obvious, but a non-call could not have been challenged.

I speak of the force out on Donte Stallworth's catch prior to the final touchdown. We would have yelled bloody murder, but the refs could have gotten away with a non-call on this.

As if in a cartoon, I would have grabbed my tongue, (since I am in a cartoon it is really long like a dog tongue), and I would have yanked the thing so hard my eyeballs would have popped out of my head like a foot and a half.

Then, I would have like picked up my tv, and I would have thrown it out the window, and it would have like landed on some lady's head, and she would have wandered around blindly, clutching at things until she finally turned the knobs on the front of the TV so that she could, ya know, see again.

Great catch by Stallworth by the way! He is so great to have on our team. All these guys really won a big one last night.

Screw those vagabond refs.

Great point. I actaully thought the ref initially ruled out of bounds the way he waved his arms. I was livid.

we would have challenged and won, because he actually got both feet down

If I understand the rule correctly, a call of a push-out cannot be challenged. However, if they had ruled it out-of-bounds for an incompletion, the Pats could at the least challenge if they thought that Stallworth might have come down in bounds anyways (the same thing would have applied with Jabar Gaffney's TD in January--the DB tried to push him out, but he still would have come down in bounds anyways).
