I've never seen an IG called on a QB who's in the process of being sacked like that. The arm went forward and he couldn't generate the velocity because of the hit.

Both of them were questionable calls. We almost never see it called at all because normally if there's a guy in the general direction the QB seems to be facing they get the benefit of the doubt. Pretty much only normally happens when a guy throws a ball away in a very obvious way, not when they get hit while their arm is in motion.

Also, there were multiple occurrences of roughiing against Trevor that should have been called but weren't.

Overall the refs seemed to not like the idea of protecting Trevor in any way.

I noticed this as well. I saw multiple times of Trvor getting hit in the head/face not get called. But the one on Wentz wasn't even that egregious. If you're going to call that one, you have to call the others.

I recall seeing in the replay that TL actually reached over the defenders shoulder and his hand and wrist motion were downward to the ground. 

Could the momentum of being contacted influence that? Yes, but his motion appeared downward to me. 

Ticky-tack call iMO, but I get it.

Fair, I only watched it live and haven't watched the game again. From first glance it appeared that if you followed where the ball would go there was a receiver further down the field and he just didn't have the arm strength to get it there with the hit.
