I think they should have put an end to that right away, even if it is the superbowl those things shouldn't be tolerated. Pushing and shoving I can understand letting go but when they shouldn't have allowed the players to give cheapshots. Ah well overall it was excellently officiated.
We have heard time and time again that the NFL wants to guys to resort to flagging players as a LAST RESORT, which is probably much different than how most of us approach our level of games. Heck they even had at least 1 alternate official out on the field helping break up one scrum. That is the way they want it handled and this crew did what they were told.
