Despite all the sacks the Oline still played well enough to get us to the superbowl which really sounds counter intuitive, but they still made it there. Had they played just marginally worse just once they wouldn't have made it to the SB and probably not to the playoffs.. They didn't blow every snap and there were more snaps where they were darn good than terrible.. That said, I still favor upgrading nearly the entire line, but let's not pretend they were horrible on every single snap of the entire season. As pointed out numerous times Joe likes to hold the ball too long hoping for that one huge play and to his credit he hits a lot more than most QBs and on those he does hit on, especially those long, arching passes way downfield the line does pretty good. Like most things in the game, most games for that matter whenever someone makes a great play there's always someone else getting blasted for giving up the big play. Funny how that works, huh? We sometimes forget the other side also gets paid to make big plays..
