If you want to make a pie chart of blame, contact All. He left out a bunch of points I listed but have fun with it! We did s also
Saying the Oline wasn't prioritized enough is definitionally subjective on your terms. So if the only criteria you use to defend that is title game losses then everything wasn't prioritized enough equally because they lost as a team. That was NY point.
The only way you can come to a conclusion that a specific unit wasn't prioritized enough is weighing it subjectively against production of other units, not by team results.
So do a pie chart and have some fun.
Is it subjective if it becomes fact over multiple years? There's only 3 people on the planet who wouldn't admit the OL was a big reason for the loss. Maybe less now.
And the failure wasn't just on the players. They did the best they could. They just weren't very talented IMHO and all the playoff numbers back that up. The real failure was on the FO over many years.
But if you do want to talk about other failed units too I could just as easily talk about the FO again since once again, the defense collectively failed again in the 4Q despite a FO that spent years and years and years of resources to build up for a defense that could close out games. That's all Lynch would talk about...closers. So did they fail because of a talent deficiency, scheme/coaching, and/or player execution?
