In other words, our eyes aren't lying to us. Bfine might be, though. I mean you're not trying to argue that this year isn't so bad, right?
Also, I listed 5 years (not 4) from 2006-present (12 seasons) and anyone who remembers 2009 will tell you that our pass blocking sucked...that's why we ran an extra tackle and unbalanced lines.
So again...6 years out of the last 12, our pass blocking has sucked.
And I don't care what you think the OP was referring to, run blocking is relevant when discussing o-line play. We've had spotty pass blocking and terrible run blocking for 12 years now.
I have no idea where you get that I have said the oline is not bad; yet. it doesn't seem to stop you from asserting what I am saying. Point to Dalton being the 5th most sack QB, but that dismisses teams that have had multiple QBs this year.
It's also telling how you jump around from total sacks to sacks per attempt to make a point. For instance in 2006 you mention CP9 was sacked the 9th most in the league yet didn't point to sacks per attempt. I wonder why. Similarly done in 2016 when you wanted to stress 2nd most sacks. Perhaps you're just looking to make it appear as bad as possible, Nah, that cannot be it.
And you really should care about what the OP is referring to; as we already have too much of folks wanting to post their own agenda and disregard the intent of the OP
