PFF ranked out Oline 8th in the league....pretty damned good, considering.

8. Philadelphia Eagles (7)
Top overall grade: LT Jason Peters, 88.3 (No. 7)
Top pass-blocking grade: LT Jason Peters, 89.1 (No. 6)
Top run-blocking grade: RT Lane Johnson, 86.7 (No. 6)
The Eagles line would have been far higher on this list if RT Lane Johnson could avoid getting himself suspended. Johnson is arguably the game’s best right tackle, but was suspended for 10 games, forcing the team to use fifth round rookie Halapoulivaati Vaitai, Allen Barbre and then Matt Tobin at right tackle as injuries prevented a settled unit. New import Brandon Brooks was excellent in his first season with the Eagles, allowing just one sack all season at guard and narrowly missing out on a spot on the PFF All-Pro team. Between injury and suspension, the Eagles were disrupted pretty significantly up front, and this unit has the potential to be better than they showed overall this year.
I guess this would support those who feel we are pretty good at Oline going forward. Of course, that ranking is with Peters in there, and playing pretty well all season. That could certainly change.
And FWIW, Dallas was #2, Skins #7, and Giants # 20.
