Overall D we're 27th giving up an average of 394 yards and over 26 points per game.
We are the worst D in the NFL - 32nd place on giving up 3rd downs 52%. I'm going to look for the stat but I'm sure we're among the worst if not the worst in the NFL over last season plus at giving up 3rd and long.
We're 25th in pass D giving up 270 yards a game
We're 25th in run D giving up 123 yards per game and I'm quite sure those numbers would be much higher had the Ravens and Colts ran the ball. Luck had 53 pass attempts and Flacco 55.
And we're 2-1 despite thus far having one of the worst D's in the NFL. Quite contrary to what I expected !
So let's blame Dalton
Our defense is not that good.Remember this,all teams get better through the draft,and it appears that we have once again drafted bad.Heres why,Andrew Billings is not that good and his lack of height is indeed a factor.Dre Kirkpatrick is not that good and he got schooled many times in that game.He is not good enough,and acturally all the secondary is suspect.Number 21 is average at best.We need help big time and this new DC is not that good with these players,they are getting pushed around big time and we need to go to the waiver wire and find some bigger stronger bodies.This D-line is not very good against top talent.That nickersson dude is a joke,number 59 got hammered ALOT.Now ,on to Dalton,he is a good qb but not great,and isn't is unreal about all these injuries.I truly believe this franchise is super snake bit.A ton of injuries every year.I mean every stinkin year.AJ Green is too frail and gets hurt every season.AND number 25 good ole gino is not even close to a starting rb.He is too small and gets hammered behind the line twice as much as he gets any positive yards.but in spite of all this,we could have won that game is stinkin John ***** Ross did his damn job.I would not play his ass next week,instead put Erickerson in the slot,he gets open and catches the damn ball.I am thinking this lousy team is not going anywhere this year and stupid Marvin Lewis should have chewed ross out immediately on the sidelines in front of the whole team.We are going to get outcoached and whipped in Atlanta.Believe this,it will be embarrassing as hell. Can't beat the better teams and I am predicting a 8 and 8 season.Remember all teams get better every year and we are going to be hammered all season.Too many injuries and a lack of top coaching.Please fire yourself Marvin,you are horrible.
