    It was said yesterday that it is Green Bay's. I am inclined to go with the other train of thought - Kansas City.

    What do the rest of you think?

    They're pretty equal if you ask me. Green Bay's offensive line is better, I think, when everyone on the line is fully healthy. Unfortunately, that's rare.

    Green Bay's line has more depth than KCs does, though, in my opinion. All of the backups in Green Bay are capable of stepping in for injuries without too much of a dropoff.

    As a side note, Favre's been sacked 12.0 times this year. Trent Green has been sacked 28.0 times.

    Food for thought...

    The Colts have the most underrated line of the last 50 years....they rarely give up sacks, averaging less than 1 surrendered per game over the last 5 years and they routinely block for runners that go well over 1000 yards...even when Edge got hurt, Dom Rhodes rushed for 1000 yards in 10 starts....and with all that success, how many Pro Bowl appearances have Colts lineman made recently? NONE....NOT BRILLIANT!!!!!

    Yes, Manning's only been sacked 9.0 times this year so far. Impressive... I can't believe that not even a single Colts O-Lineman made the Pro Bowl this year. Sad. Especially since Edge is leading the NFL in rushing, too.

    Good points, Beef and BF1.

    How do the Steelers get left out of this discussion? Two Pro Bowlers and the most team rushing yards....

    If we included them, you would have nothing to be indignant about [​IMG]

    The steelers have a great run blocking line, but i think it is only an average pass blocking line(30+ sacks given up)

    Our defense probably keeps our offense on the field for more minutes which accounts for that though.
