We have to pray we don’t play Baltimore.

The only way we arent playing Baltimore is if we get knocked out in the WC round. I doubt they lose the WC round.

Soft zone, no defense against the run, and no pass rush against one of worst OLs in league 

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

Dorian Williams needs to be on the field. 3 LBs need to be but this dude is just too stubborn. Get 42 out there one way or another. Someone in this building needs to find a way to hold this scheme accountable. Maybe it has to be Josh. Something needs to change we HAVE good players on D

Is the defensive line intangible or something?

That outside run was because of the scheme/play call. Taron Johnson got whammed out of the play and Hall ran right by him. That's going to happen unless we make a change on run downs. Other offenses just put their big offensive linemen on our small defenders and immediately win the matchup.

[Billznut]

The 31st ranked rush team is having their way with this D. Embarrassing. As usual 

[Irish Dave]

Every division game seems so tedious.  Why are division rivalries a good thing?

Can we get a three and out anytime today?  We can’t stop the run at all

Expand  

We quickly forgot the Jets last possession and they stuffed them in fourth down vs the run

One of many reasons this league has become an absolute chore to follow. Sometimes I think the only reason I still watch is to hopefully see us win a Super Bowl.

It's the only reason I do

[sullim4]

The tragic thing here is that you know nothing is going to change on defense.  "Oh, we stopped them on the first drive" will be McDermott's refrain despite giving up huge chunks of yardage on running plays against one of the worst run offenses in the league.

 

If we play Baltimore, I'm calling it right now - 70 yard touchdown run from Henry.  We've given that to him twice now, why not three?

[notpolian]

This defense playing this way is not capable of winning the AFC.

[TheWeatherMan]

Gonna have to put up 30+ to beat the Jets.  Our bottom 3 ranked defense is running out of excuses.

The flaw is size. They keep drafting undersized front 7 players.

Put a ***** LB on the field. Get out of nickel. Everyone loves Tarron Johnson … I get it. Our pass defense sucks too. It’s not working 

[Buffalo Boy]

I haven’t enjoyed the pace of an event this much since I watched paint dry….. on a cold, damp day😒

Should be a Stat on that.

 

This McClappy horror show D must be near 32nd.

 

i know they are on 3rd & long!

Expand  

After today they should wrap up dead last 32nd in 3rd down %.

The Colts are really bad….I’d much rather play Indy vs. Denver, Cincy, etc.

Babich is honestly the worst DC. I've never seen a coach make it easier than he does on the offence. 
 

Snap, throw, easiest 10 yards time after time again

This year’s scapegoat. How many coordinators do you get to fire as a head coach before you’re held accountable in any way?

OR they could just be going with a rotation including the guys that have been here and in the offense all offseason. 
 

I don’t love the Cooper usage either, but we have no evidence to believe McD has it out for Cooper. 

Expand  

Is that what’s best for the team?
