Phil Sims alluded to this in the postgame.  Hits wear a qb down regardless of whether or not they get the ball out.  Yeah, it's nice not to take a sit ton of sacks, but at some point you have to keep defenses from beating the hell out of your quarterback.  They've rarely been able to do that this year.
