I've never been a fan of that type of play and it can and often does put players in risk of needless injuries. Beyond that it can also lead to some bad blood down the road with players and coaches wanting to seek revenge with overly zealous hits and all kinds of ugliness. It can really come back to bite a team in the ass.
The NFL is completely different than Ohio State or Alabama playing a game "North Middle of Nowhere State" before they start conference play. Those teams go into the game knowing they are going to get blown out, they are there for some exposure and a pay day. Even the worst NFL team has a chance every single week.
