Every snap that Eich, Hunt and AJAX played in our Bucs game

Yes he did. McDaniel clearly was not happy with our run blocking (per interview) but overall thought our OL looked solid. We had a lot of long and medium throws and not a lot of sacks, so obviously our OL did fine on pass pro.
Sometimes when folks breakdown film they assume that anytime a defender penetrates past the line of scrimmage that it means the OL lost. However - that's actually called an "influence block" where you let him go where he wants so long as its away from the play. You let him use all that energy to go the wrong way. I actually had the count right where McDaniel has it on my film breakdown.
None of the three I mentioned were influence blocks. All three resulted in hits on the QB or RB and were negative plays for the offense.
