Really? We get no pressure on Brady and we expect to win?

I see a lot of blame being thrown around here but let's be honest, our pass rush lost us this game. Everyone knows how to beat Brady, you pressure him. He's a pocket passer, so pressure him, force him out of the pocket and his accuracy plummets. We couldn't even get a hand on him all day besides Wake's sack, so no surprise he lit us up. JP and JT were invisible today, even against a rookie. We cannot win games like this. Sure, Ginn could have made a catch or Hartline or Bess and maybe Henne could have thrown a better ball but let's not forget our defense put us in that situation, having to throw to get back into the game.
 
I wish Wake was in more than just the role of the situational pass rusher. If JP is not getting it done than we need to see our other options. What is the deal with Roth? He should be active in more plays too!
 
Our pass rush was atrocious today. Porter has been off since the last 4 games of last season. Wake should be playing in front of him.
 
Not suprised at all. Thats why I didnt even get angry. I expected to go in, put up a fight, let them know we are for real, and give up a big play or two that costs us the game. These big plays proving to us that we need better game planning and game breakers on our team to become elite. Granted we could of won this game if we even so much as touched Brady a couple more times but our offense needs something more, and handcuffing it to the wildcat is hurting our overall offensive production. How many times in the past couple games have we been on the opposite 40 yd line and called an idiotic play causing a sack or loss of 10+ yards that takes us out of FG range?
 
We have zero pass rush. Kendall Langford can't do crap at defensive end and Joey Porter and Jason Taylor are both too old and too slow to get the job done. Neither did a thing against the Patriots. It's time to get Cam Wake more reps ...at least he can get some heat on the QB and proves it everytime we get him in the game!!!!
 
I am very surprised we got no pressure on Brady. Porter wasn't getting done against the rookie and I shocked they didn't rotate Taylor to that side of the ball, or leave Wake in there more!
 
I simpy cannot put my finger on what the problem is. I know we are without some starters but from week 1 we were struggling and that's with adding JT back in to the lineup. WHY CAN'T WE STOP GIVING UP THE BIG PLAYS!!! Having said that I think our rookie corners are going to be a force in a few years...no one will want to throw against them.
 
And idiot Pasqualoni does not know how to make any adjustments for our defense. We just do the same crap over and over again and expect different results.
 
Why is everyone so suprised that we got no pressure on the QB? We haven't all season!!

The problem? The defense gives up the lead after the offense gives it to them.

See Indy, see New Orleans, see this game. Granted, those teams are a combined 22-2, it isn't like they are beating everyone by 800 or haven't lost (save Indy and NO).

The DC that is the problem! the way I see it his best schemes were in the 1st, 2nd and half of the 3rd quarter against the Saints. Then we just stopped, and I have no idea why? We looked brilliant not getting into our formation till late in the play clock, zone blitzes, and lots of pressure. Then we just stopped and went into the crappy prevent! Look at today stand package, no creative blitzing, didn't attack the side of the line when the lineman went out. And it drives me nuts that he never covers the tight end with a nickleback!

But even after all that you know what pisses me off the most? When things are falling apart I never see him fired up in players faces. I don't see any fired up meetings on the sideline. He is just flat no emotion, Jesus Christ buddy your defense is falling flat PUMP THEM UP!
 
You know it's true what's being said here and how many times have we seen it?? If you get in Brady's face and harrass him he falls apart and starts begging the officials for flags. When you interrupt his pocket presence you own him, he throws pics, he throws at the receivers feet, or he just throws it away but rather than pressure him or tighten up coverage we let rookie linemen keep Porter and Taylor wrapped up and play our DBs 5 yards off the receivers and keep the safetys deep so the middle is wide open. It's so frustrating!!! I mean Matt Light was out for crying out loud and then the center went down early in the game, Miami's front 7 should have had a field day!!!
