In a word, yes.
The Patriots have had injuries to Matt Light, Logan Mankins (who has had a subpar year and did NOT deserve a Pro Bowl nod), Sebastian Vollmer, and big rookie Nate Solder (who regressed after a promising start). They lost their starting center. And then they lost their backup center. And yet, with an O-line strung together all year with chewing gum and Scotch tape, Brady is 190 yards behind Brees and Gronk is tearing up the TE record book and tiny Welker is leading the lead in yardage. And the only O-line constant is a guy (Waters) who was supposedly on the downside, and came in from another team. The guy's been money.
