I tried to find one bright spot on our defense, and couldn't. lol
Man the times have changed.

As little as I like Cary Williams, he seems to attract interceptions like a magnet. Other than that, our defense is getting demolished. I'd been holding out hope that getting Suggs back would fix our problems, but at this point we're going to be spending the offseason rebuilding the D.

This team needs to go back to basics regarding tackling. Some of the attempts I saw today were down right embarrassing for a high school team let alone a NFL team. Fix this now!!

Agreed I think this was the biggest issue for the D..there were a couple of just flat out ugly plays and attempts to hit not tackles. If we are to play conservative and not let plays deep you have to tackle well and not let a ton of yac plays. Point wise we did fine, but it was a deflating performance with how easily they moved the ball and how long

I hope we get Suggs back for Houston, we'll need him more than ever, especially with Ray dinged up, Ngata hurt and Webb potentially lost for the season. I always thought our D would improve when Suggs came back but now we'll get him back but be banged up defensively.

We just gave up 200 (I think) yards rushing in back to back games for the first time in franchise history and I can honestly say I think it will happen again next week. I shudder to think what Foster will do to our defense.

These aren't your dad's Ravens. They're not gonig to shut anyone out, but they are going to win games. Let's not get too crazy. If they had a record like that of the Steelers, then I could see some panic.

Usually when people think of those "worst nightmare" matchups, they don't turn out to be nearly as bad as they're expected to. It's not like we're going to average giving up 200 every game.

Doesn't matter. The Steelers lose pretty, and we all know that's better than winning ugly.

A lot of the edge setting was awful today as well.
