We are all so high on this team mainly because of the defense, at least I was. The offense I expected to be good but not great. The defense was supposed to be our calling card and it is not the dominant unit we saw at points last year. So what happened fellas?

Rams exposed us. D was never that good to begin w/.
 
Over rated plus they are soft. If you just sit back and try to react to today’s high powered offenses you’re going to get picked apart. Bend and break doesn’t work. You need to be aggressive and attack.

How much better do we become the moment Marinelli is gone?
 
This defense just needs motivation from Garrett, and its done .

We will be back to being the best.

I'm embarrassed and humbled.

I personally felt this D would be no worse than top 5.

It's a joke.

It is not an attacking unit, it is on its heels from kickoff to final gun- sitting back and accepting drive after drive matriculation hoping for a FGA vs a TD.

The 2 young LB'ers are playing poorly, Awuzie can't get his head around. Heath and Woods are hit and miss, and the DL can't stop the run well enough.

Disgusting to lose to an anemic team like the Jets. Someone needs to lose their job.
