Why shouldn't it be allowed? Football is all about scheming and being smarter than your opponent. Don't be dumb as fuck and cover Vereen (RB I know, but I figured you'd get to this example next) when the Ref reports him as ineligible. Or cover the lineman that gets reported as eligible.

They actually did break the rules, though. When you make a declaration of an ineligible receiver as being eligible, you're supposed to give the defense time to adjust. The grace period was not enforced (either by oversight of the refs/Ravens or Patriots abusing their lack of familiarity with the rules). Once somebody did tell the Ravens the rules, the Patriots stopped doing it.

Also let's not ignore the fact that the report also stated that four of the Colts balls weren't properly inflated either.

No it doesn't...
