The offense has had issues for some time, but welcome to the modern NFL. There's no such thing as a complete team anymore. Some teams have great offenses, some great defenses. Some defenses are good up front and soft underneath. Kansas City tore up New England by torching their secondary because New England, as impressive a team as they are year upon year, has a bad secondary.
The one chink in our armour - and it's a major one that no one is doubting - is our offensive line. QB is good. RB is good. WRs good. TEs good. Defense exceptional at every level. Just a bad OL.
But we *can't have everything*. If that's where we have elected to have our weakness, then that's where it is and we need to work at mitigating it as much as possible, but mainly we need to accept that's where our weakness is and get on with it.
This forum is nothing but thread after thread about our OL deficiencies, as if someone suddenly discovered it. We as a fan base are better than this, and we as grown ups are hopefully better than children who think they should have everything just because they exist.
We can't have everything. We know this. We know that what we don't have is an OL. What is the use of constantly harping on it? The horse is well dead.
We should have one "OL sucks" thread that is pinned so that all these "new" threads can be combined with that one and the rest of us who *understand the way the NFL works in the cap era* can get on with how the other parts of the team cope with our known weakness.
