  1. I'll still be here watching and rooting every week but lets be realistic. Before the game, I thought if the team could take 2 of the next 3 divisional games, they'd be fine and we'd be right back in the heat of the divisional race. But if they go 1-2 or 0-3 in these three consecutive divisional games, the season is essentially over from a playoff standpoint with how competitive the AFC North is. So let's regroup and take these next two from Pittsburgh and Cleveland.

  2. Hate to break it to you all, but our defensive backs have played 5-10 yards off of receivers ever since Harbaugh got here, not just with Pees. Pagano with Austin were the only guys during that time that I can remember who would actually call some press coverage for our corners. I personally would rather see our corners, regardless of their individual press coverage abilty, come up at least some of the time and jam these receivers within the 5 yards they are allowed to in order to disrupt the timing on routes. I can swallow them getting burned in press easier than the same huge cushion to allow 10 yard completion after 10 yard completion. And when you're only bringing a 3 man rush over 50% of the time, that is even more reason to have a few guys pressing since you have a whopping 8 bodies in coverage. I dunno, just my two cents. And even if Pees were to go, I don't see it changing based on the past. Maybe the secondary coverage is a product of Harbs since he was briefly that position coach for the Eagles?

  3. Bottom of the AFC North basement where we belong. One week defense plays lights out and offense can't do a thing. Next week offense plays well enough to beat most teams and the defense turns into an absolute sieve...I have no idea what to think about this team other than it doesn't look good for next week considering our recent history with Cincy.
