What is going on that is causing the Ravens D to let up 320 passing yards to the CLEVELAND BROWNS. WITHOUT their top receiver. Just embarrassing. If this doesn't improve someone needs to be fired at the end of the season.

Don't forget it was a rookie QB. Remember when the Ravens defense used to eat rookie QBs alive? I'm fine with shifting towards being an offensive driven football team, but I figured the defense could at least stay top 15. It comes down to poor coaching, Pees scheme does not fit what we do here in Baltimore.

We cannot play zone coverage at all this year yet pees stick to it. The first half and even third qtr we played man and shut them down minus that one drive. Then 4th qtr we goes off zone and they tear us apart. Pees it horrid. If fans know we are built for press man, why can't this clown

It wasn't pretty but a 48.1% completion percentage and 59.8 QB Rating on 52 attempts is decent.

That's what I said early in the preseason, and people thought I was crazy.

If Pagano was still here, he would've found a way to make up for the Suggs absence.
Geez, I can't wait for Suggs any longer. That game killed me and it was the BROWNS.

Yeah, this defense has been embarrassing.

I understand the short week and all, but we've seen enough of this throughout 4 weeks to say that it's more than that.

It's a bit of a bizarro world here that we're used to, but thanks to the offense doing enough, we win.

As long as they're not giving up TD's, they're giving us a chance to win.

In all honesty they played with their top receiver, in Little, Watson, and of course Richardson. This D needs to be re armed in the draft next year.

That pass rush was bad, even with the blitz. Weeden had plenty of time to make throws and looked way too comfortable. I feel like this is a down year for the defense. Ozzie's agenda for the draft is draft as many playmakers on defense as possible. I don't know, but we really need our DPOY back and even then I don't know if he is 100%, which could mean our pass rush woes won't be solved.

Our secondary looked like Frank Walker/ Dominque foxworth. Deja Vu horrendous secondary all over again.

O-line was horrendous. Especially Oher. Whoever O-line coach is. Ever since andy moeller was fired, the replacement guy stinks.

Paul Kruger. A +5 year do-nothing pass rusher almost costed us a game with a dumb penalty at the most clutch time. The guy has zero logic whatsoever. Thank goodness he can get canned next year!

[JohnnyBoy8102]

I don't like the yardage total but like I said 48% completion and under 60 qb rating.

All in all giving up 16 points and 2.5 yards per carry (long rush of 7) is fine with me.

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

They stopped the run, held the Browns to LONG FG's, and scored a TD on an INT. Yes they are giving up more yards than our ideal Ravens defense, but they're putting us in position to win games.

The pass rush wasn't really terrible. There was a lot of holding by their O-line and a lot of pressures. The problem is letting up catches over the middle. Please, no more Ellerbe and stop letting guys find wide open spots in the zone.

[camthetornado]

I thought the defense did better tonight against the Patriots. But we have some work to do.

[rmw10]

Zone coverage has to stop. Our corners excel in man coverage. Keep it that way.

This is what I am saying.

Through 4 games: 120 carries/378 yards/3.15 ypc

It's the Browns, they have NO talent, none whatsoever. This should have been a good old fashioned beat down, and it wasn't. Letting the Browns march down the field like they did, points or no points, is a pathetic outing and a pathetic statement by the defense.

[The Raven]

Pass rush wasn't bad at all tonight.

Zone coverage sucks.

I am not a fan of Pees anymore. His numbers don't lie but his defense is frustrating to watch.

[Bltravens]

To me it's just blatantly obvious that the team is playing cautious on defense. They blitz and play off coverage, or they play press and bring just 4 without any type of stunts or twists. It's vanilla, and the coverages are whack. Just flat out whack.
