Indeed it was, but it was not seen as substituting for korbanos.
Tefilah was tefilah and korbanos were korbanos, and the idea that they
were interchangeable must have seemed as strange as the idea that
tefillin and tzitzis are interchangeable would seem to us. One must
wear both tefillin and tzitzis, and one must daven and bring korbanos.
But post-churban we moved to the idea that by davening we were keeping
not just the mitzvah of tefilah but also that of korbanos, and that must
have seemed revolutionary.
