I think the Pats O-Line is overrated. And i've felt this way since the season started. Brady is the BEST at moving around the pocket and avoiding sacks. So spare me the stats about how many times he was sacked this year, and using it to defend the O-Line.
I'm not saying they are bad. I think they are good and do a good job. But they are not the best in the league and anyone who thinks this is an idiot or Pats-hater.
The O-Line has been praised all year long to try and explain why Brady was so great this year. It's part of the deal where nobody can just call Brady great, there has to be an underlying reason (spygate, BB, Charlie Weis, the Line, etc.)
Nobody can just admit that he's the best.
The O-Line did do a good job in many games and they sure gave Brady plenty of time against Miami. They also did a good job against Cincinnati and some other teams with crappy pass rushes.
But when it came to teams that are known for blitzing or applying a lot of pressure on the QB, they weren't so hot.
I'm talking about Baltimore, Philadelphia, THE NEW YORK GIANTS, and San Diego.
I'm not just saying this b/c of the last game, even though they were atrocious. They knew all week what was going to happen and were still horrendous. Matt Light's false starts are beyond irritating.
I think they are probably a top 10 O-Line, but this crap about them being the best is a joke.
