you've obviously never heard the term "hit as he throws" then. or we're seeing different games... moondog Send a noteboard - 25/01/2010 11:50:26 PM
i'm pretty sure i saw the same game you did last night, and i don't draw the same conclusion that the saints must have been playing dirty to get that many hits on favre. remember that "hit" doesn't necessarily mean "knock on his ass by smacking him with your helmet", it can be as benign as giving him a shove the second after he releases the ball. this is where i think your emotions are running away with your analysis, because you seem to be equating "hit" with "knocked out" or at the very least "tackled unnecessarily", when in reality it was just a well played game by the saints defensive front.

and... if you don't believe all those hits didn't affect the game, then we *definitely* weren't watching the same game. because the entire game plan was to come after favre fast and hard and make him rush his throws. after all, we all know favre's history when he has pressure and makes snap decisions ;) this was just a great game plan by the saints and in no way reflects any intended animosity on their part, no matter how you try to spin things to your liking.

Yeah, too bad the Vikings don't have someone like Rodgers waiting in the wings. - 25/01/2010 10:10:14 AM 372 Views
Wait, are you saying Tarvaris Jackson isn't going to be a good, star QB some day? - 25/01/2010 01:42:48 PM 359 Views
Not on his best day, IMHO. - 25/01/2010 05:05:45 PM 343 Views
the saints hit favre late? - 25/01/2010 04:08:31 PM 368 Views
Flagged at least once, and I still think he was driven that other play, though it's open to debate. - 25/01/2010 05:13:06 PM 321 Views
um.... you do realize that it's possible to hit a QB without it being illegal right? - 25/01/2010 07:45:19 PM 296 Views
They also got flagged for a rough, in the third, I think, not sure. - 25/01/2010 07:57:21 PM 289 Views
