Precisely.
QB might be the most important position on a team, but nothing comes close to the O-Line being good in terms of having a chance to win. If you aint got one, you aint winning. I think it was a remarkable coaching job by Huf, Dickenson and Delmonaco to get done what they did this season.
The O-Line that started last years Grey Cup were the best group in the league in a few years. They lost guys because of it. This years group were just a bunch of guys who tried their damndest to come together and make something happen.
It was never ever likely they could be better than Edmonton in the trenches yesterday and they weren't. But it wasn't a "choke" job or a lack of effort and to portray it that way is patently unfair and entirely wrong IMO.
