In this case, we discussed it in the huddle and decided there. Before then it wasn't a penatly, just possibly a penalty.

If some VISIBLE indication was made that blue was DQ'd, we would not have been tempted to be aggressive and would not attempted the last second heroics.

At any rate, this is an empty argument. It doesn't matter what others do, you are still responsible for your actions. You were overaggressive and caused 435 to tip, regardless of if they were were DQ'ed or not.
