Dude they are the best in the league right now. You seen how clean they kept Romo and opened up holes for our garbage RBs like some would say. How can you possibly think in any substance that this OL is over rated. ....that's absurd. They are as good as advertised and might possibly by the end of the season be known as the best ever

Case and point.

I will say this:I do think the offensive line is overrated. Very good. Certainly the best in the Romo era. Top 10-12 for sure, but I don't see them as the best. Don't pass my eye test.(insert joke here).

lets see how they look vs buffalo, miami even the eagles.

And as I said last year, they don't have to be for us to get where we want to get.

If that's your opinion, that's fine but I've seen nothing to support that position. They are very good and will get better but they need to show that and for more then just one game.

I agree, but it's like this... if they are overrated because they aren't the best o-line ever... how is that a bad thing? It's like saying Lebron James is overrated because he isn't as good as Jordan... well either way, he's still really freaking good. Even if our o-line is overrated, they are still incredibly good... and the scary thing is they are incredibly good and very young.

It might just be my perspective on the usage of the word "overrated", because the way Osi used it there he clearly meant it as an insult.

I didn't say it was a bad thing. I said ABQJr's post is more, or less, accurate if you view it in that context.

Ok so what's your opinion on who the best OL in the league is? Also what's your opinion on how well they kept Romo from getting hit and the holes they opened up in the Giants game

The Giants DL isn't exactly scaring anyone. Our line is among the best, but to say it is the best because of the Giants game is a fantastic leap.

I didn't say it because the giants game. They are the best in the league, spin it however you want but that's a fact not an opinion.

All I hear from y'all is "they aren't the best, blah blah blah" but I have yet to hear reasons why they aren't the best and which team had the best OL.

Guess some people just can't give the F.O any credit

Yeah, okay Osi, put out the gangi, put the cap back on the cheap wine, it's okay. You're not the first unable to handle their high.

O-line is great- but they are also helped by the fact they probably have one of the top 3-4 smartest QBs in the league back there- and by the fact that the Giants D Line is awful.

I'm hoping Collins gets the start at LG on Sunday- that gives our line a world of talent with the potential to be even more dominant.

When you say top 10-12 you mean in nfl history right? Because I know you're not saying there are 10-12 better olines in the league today
