The NFL is a long season. There are always going to be ups and downs. How many times did people want to change the OL when Troy took 11 sacks against the Eagles in 91? We still went to the playoffs, and won the Super Bowl the following year.
It's not to say this OL is the same caliber as that one, but it just goes to show, even the greatest OL's have bad days.
We knew going into the season that OL was going to be a concern. With Bledsoe, it certainly was. With Romo, it's less of an issue. He's better at his pre-snap reads, and is magnificent in his 3 step drops.
But there are always going to be games where the D's tee-off on us. Today was one of those days. In the end, it was the heavy reliance on their pressure which did them in.
We're going in with what we have. The OL is not the weakness we once thought it was. In fact, I'm certain it's good enough to be get us into the playoffs.
How far? I don't know.
