They also got flagged for a rough, in the third, I think, not sure.

i know you wanted the vikings to win and all, but just because you don't like the outcome doesn't mean those hits were all illegal, which is what you are implying when you say "after the whistle". there were only two flags thrown that i could see, that doesn't mean every other hit was late and/or unnecessary roughness penalties
So, yeah, two penalties that were called for sure, and another I think should've been (though I concede it's arguable, both ways. ) You're not getting my logic here: They hit Favre a LOT, but NEVER sacked him. Is it plausible you can have that many legal hits on a QB and never tackle him? Pretty darned elusive for a 40 year old man with a taped (and then retaped after being carried off the field) left ankle. Of course, if you knock him on his can after the whistle, away from the play (for which the Saints were penalized) of after he's thrown the pass (for which the Saints were penalized) you can rack up a lot of hits without getting many tackles.
I don't know how many times they hit him in the end, but it was double digits, plus a rough and a late hit. No sacks. And their DC was a Buddy Ryan protege. That doesn't smell a LITTLE hinky to you...?

Yeah, too bad the Vikings don't have someone like Rodgers waiting in the wings.

Wait, are you saying Tarvaris Jackson isn't going to be a good, star QB some day?

Flagged at least once, and I still think he was driven that other play, though it's open to debate.

um.... you do realize that it's possible to hit a QB without it being illegal right?

you've obviously never heard the term "hit as he throws" then. or we're seeing different games...

When I hear it often I usually hear "sacked for a 7 yd loss" at some point.

Actually, I'm not sure what you mean; it was intended as a pure hypothetical.
