No doubt about it, I don't think I have EVER seen an OL play so poorly. Brady was under pressure 75% of his dropbacks. We deserved to get dominated today with how poorly we played.
No more losses from now on!

Stick around. By Thursday Box and Pats1 will have completed their "breakdowns" and it will be revealed we actually pass protected quite well and that Jason Taylor "was not the problem".

That group is the one we're all so happy about having signed long term too
Maybe it's time to draft a real LT, move Light to RT and upgrade two OT spots with one pick ?
Teams move their best rushing ends around to exploit the best match-ups. In this case, if Light were moved to RT to make room for a pass-blocking specialist LT, Jason Taylor would merely switch to the left side of the defense on passing downs.

First, not all teams do move their DE around like that. Second, it's still better to have the best pass rush not coming from the blind side. Say what you want, you still want, and need, your best pass protector on the left side.

You're right about the blind side vs. face side issue, but its mitigated somewhat by Brady's excellent pocket presence. I've seen more than a few plays where he'll step up and away from a blind side rush.
However, most teams do move their DE depending on matchup and blitz packages. Most pertinent to this discussion is Miami, which certainly moves Taylor around - he was spotted schooling both Kaczur and Light this afternoon. As BB said in his press conference: "They do a good job with him in their scheme and make it hard to find him."
I have followed the Pats since the birth of the franchise, and the display put on by both tackes today was disgraceful, essentially unprofessional. Light could not even lay a hand on Taylor. Kazcur was afraid to hit Taylor.
The media (CBS, NESN, etc.) has lost its collective mind blaming this loss on Tom Brady. The Pats are lucky Brady did not get himself seriously hurt today. If Taylor cannot be handled, then Graham must be assigned to Jason Taylor on every play to help either tackle. Wherever Taylor lines up, Graham must go and double team at all times. If the offense is hampered by playing ten on eleven, so be it. A pathetetic display by the two tackles.

Miami moves Taylor around. We don't move our DE and OLB side to side much other than when injuries force it. I guess I don't really know how many teams do it.
Is there some surprise about Taylor? We play them twice a year, why didn't JM plan a better game plan for the dolphins?!? Try something to catch them off guard, something like a 'hurry up' offense, or if JT is having a great game have the TE stay and block him on every play. JM did a poor job of play calling (again).
