One play. He’s still 10 times more protected than say a Joe Flacco or Josh Freeman.

Wilson wasn’t even close to bandeided-Payton. Stop crying out loud for nothing.

It was pretty eye opening for the whiners who complain about certain QBs getting calls because of their name.

Now that is something that has merit.

I knew law schools had become degree mills, but this is ridiculous…

Everyone thinks their guy gets no protection, while others get too much. probably not true either way. Refs try to call it honestly. Sometimes they just do a bad job….

It’s called pocket presence. Manning, Manning, Brady, Rodgers, Brees, etc. all the really good to great QB’s have it.

Peyton has taken some monstrous hits. And that horrible O-line is built for pass-protection a-la Manning, not running all over the field hoping your QB releases the ball within 30 seconds of the snap.

Manning gets the ball out immediately and the OL always knows where he will be….in the pocket.

There’s something strange going on with both Mannings….you never see either take hard hits. Both are pocket passers with little mobility, and should be getting popped from time to time. Tebow was getting pummeled last year in Denver with virtually the same O-line. Sure, a good part of it is talent, but I suspect maybe something else is going on…!

Who watches football, knows, that he isn’t protected. There is no evidence to the contrary.

Is anyone seriously going to argue that some QBs aren’t given special attention and protection from the refs?

manning and brady are plenty protected and probably more than people think. this no fine doesn’t prove anything

I would hope you have much more to build a case around.
