Inconsistency from week to week, hell, QTr to QTr.

No consistent pass rush.

Tackles are dragged for way to many additional yds.

Opposing WR generally have a 3 to 5 yd of space around them.

We've scored plenty of points in most of our games but the Defense just isn't able to hold off opponents. Thats were the losses are coming from..

True we need legit WR but we should never have been in such a desparate mood in several games to were we even needed to rest our victory on our mediocre WR's.

Second year of rebuilding team seems to be more logical for expectations..........
 
D did better than I expected. They look awful, but our glaring weakness is WR.
 
I think a good defense can make an offense look a lot better. Obviously, we don't have a good defense at all.

We need a wr.

We also need a defense more. 3/4 teams last year in the AFC/NFC championship games were in the top 4 in total defense in the league. The Dolphins gave up what, 432 yards on defense?

I dont care who you are, you wont beat many people doing that. That said, rookie corners are going to take their lumps, especially going up against hall of famers 1 on 1 who have made pro bowl corners look silly.
 
From now on, I will only refer to our defense as our pathetic. It's sad that when they hold teams to field goal there's a collective sigh of relief.
 
I was more upset with the Pats getting a consistent running game all day more than the long Moss TD.

But yeah last week the Special Teams saved the offense from looking like a joke. This week it was a little more obvious. You can't expect to win with one good drive per game.
 
^agreed. The run defense is solid but the pass defense is what needs to be improved with better safeties.

Our young players on the D played well. We need WRs.

Yeah I agree, but we need to upgrade the linebackers.

We need to draft an impact linebacker or DE next year along with a WR.
 
This defense was set up to fail when we went after Eric Green on the cheap and Springs and Bodden sign at New England for just a little more then we gave Green. I know we have 2 rookie cbs that are playing good, but right now they are giving up at least 1 big play a game. Smith is playing way to far off the ball it gives up way to many routes underneath. I like how I see Vontae coming up and playing press. With time he will learn how to maintain position when they put Moss in motion!

Right now I think Davis is way ahead of Smith, his mistakes will be corrected as he matures in the second half off the season. Smith on the other hand will experience these mistakes when he starts pressing receivers!
 
As far as todays game, Brady had way, way to much time back there.

You give that guy time with no pressure you can forgetaboutit
 
Everything feeds off of the pass rush
A great pass rush makes all other positions
on the field that much better.

We do-not have a consistent pass rush

DOES ANYONE SEE HOW MUCH TIME QBs HAVE
AGAINST OUR TEAM??????????????????????????

It's time for Porter to leave...just leave...WE RIDE..NO...YOU RIDE
OUT OF MIAMI...PLEASE JUST GO..

JT needs to become a situational player...3rd down...

Wake needs to get more playing time...Whenever he gets more than 1 defensive snap per game he produces

This draft needs to find pass rushers and a wide receiver

2 new inside linebackers and 1 safety

and both offensive and defensive coaches need to go with Porter somewhere else..I'm tired of both coaches going into half time and taking a nap together rather than make game adjustments
