Bob, I agree, excellent calls for incomplete, I too thought that the official was screened out but he came running in with an incomplete signal, nice job.

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.
I saw the alternate out there, that was in the begininning of the game. I understand that they want to save the flags for last resort stuff but I think they were losing control of the game in the first half. I agree with not flagging pushing/shoving/trash talking if possible but when some guy is punching another guy in a pile that needs to be flagged, even at the NFL level, even during the superbowl. I'm not saying that it is the crews fault and I understand they're told to go with the no call here but I disagree with it.
