I understand that, but in a year when there is no great defense, I'd feel pretty comfortable with that Defense in the playoffs. There really are 2 teams in the AFC with great defenses (compared to others). The Steelers and Jets.

I agree with you 100%, just saying there are ways to beat both of these teams....passing game.

There is no team in the NFL without a major flaw, but I think the Jets will get harder and harder to pass on, as the season gets older.

I'll say when playing against a quality team, we need to come out, take a lead, and sustain the lead throughout. Don't fall on too conservative and let other team to catch up. If there's opportunity or exploit, we need to score and close out the game. Sometimes, it's hard to come out with a lead, but our offense need to do that consistently in the second half of the schedule if we want to contend for SB this year.

As for our defense, we need them to step up in the clutch situation such as the loss in Atlanta. We should double team White and make other mediocre WR beat us. They tend to choke.....

That's why having corners like Revis and Cromartie is pretty valuable. Of course, I believe that trying to defend the pass that way is overrated. Pass rush is a more important factor, and money will be better spent on that than on shut down corners. Unfortunately, things didn't exactly work out for the Ravens. Coming into the season, I expected our defensive line to be dominant.

Man , does Carson Palmer suck or what. Ocho Cinco threw a more accurate and better deep ball in one play than Carson did the entire game
