They don't protect themselves while trying to throw, or getting blind sided after the ball is released, like the one play. The announcers even said at the beginning of the game that the Saints coach learned this from a former coach he worked under. Anyway. I just thought it was a cruel game plan.
On another note, I think all the punching at the ball to cause a fumble is cheapening the game.

I thought the objective was to protect the QB, that's the job of the offensive linemen. They just didn't expect the Saints to be so rough on them. Must have thought the Saints were a bunch of girlie men.
Favre has had a great run and is a tremendous QB but it's time to retire before he gets hit so hard he can't get up. He was hit more times in that game than he was all season, he's one tough SOB.
Did your husband enjoy the game?
