Our QB's have definitely benefitted from the pocket being kept clean for them. Not only were they not sacked, I think I only remember one time when they were pressured or knocked down. A good OL can make an average QB look good.
That being said, Chryst was hitting his receivers in such a way as he didn't earlier in the year. Gone are the lawn darts, and pretty much, none of the throws were even behind the receivers. Pretty much he was hitting them in stride and on the money. And, aside from the lack of pressure, it doesn't matter how bad the defense is; the QB has to get the throws to the receivers and you can tell if it is an accurate throw or if the receiver had to make a play to help out the QB. If anything, Chryst was let down by his receivers: once by the JJAW bobble that turned a sure touchdown into an interception, and once on another sideline throw that was bobbled out of bounds but should have been caught.
