As constituted right now, this is still the best o-line Brady has ever had assuming Neal is healthy. I wouldn't have minded upgrading the RT position, but it wasn't a huge priority.
You need to phrase it another way - Brady makes this one of the better lines in the league. If this OL were protecting for a mediocre quarterback, it'd be a mediocre line. I really think that, and I thought Aaron Schatz's breakdown further proved this given the number of times and high percentage Brady was hit. As it is, I think the OL went from underrated to overrated b/c of Brady.
I wouldn't mind adding a guy like Shane Olivea for depth purposes at this point, as Kazcur, O'Cal and Neal have all battled injuries at times on that right side. He's still an FA right?

You guys have one of (if not, the) best O-line in the League and you're nervous about it because it played poorly in one game against the best D-line in the League, amped up for the biggest game of their lives? I wouldn't sweat it too much, fellas. Your O-line (which also happens to be relatively young) will be fine as is.....
Nobody had any huge complaints about the OL when the Pats beat the Giants 38-35 in week 17. Nobody looked at the Mankins/Tuck matchup that week and said fixing was needed.
