Our secondary was better in coverage without him. I'm not saying he can't change, but the way our defense is no there's no room for free-lancing like there was under Ryan.

well, the only TD scored by the Raiders was over the middle, and Ray Lewis definitely should have had help over the middle with covering Zach Miller, where was Reed?

I think either Reed is losing a step or teams are learning and catching on to him. Cause Oakland had it WAY to easy, and if you give a QB like Brady that many open WR's, he's gonna hit em all day long, not to mention, we have no pass rush so that doesn't help at all.

When Zbikowski was in, I never saw Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Detroit or Chicago have WR's find that many holes in our defense.

I'm not blaming Reed, I'm just wondering why that when he returns, all of a sudden, that terrible defense we saw early mid season came back?

This team has so many problems....... that said, happy we got to the playoffs means we have at least an outside shot.

We got the worst first rd draw possible so that sucks, but who knows maybe we can squeak past New England. If we were to luck our way past rd 1 I dont like us against Indy or SD. But hey its all bonus now just along for the ride.

I think the thing w/ reed is because our pass rush sucks the QB is not making quick decisions where reed can jump a route. I think since the QB has enough time to eat a sandwich back there they are able to find reed better.

very true, I 100% agree with this.

Suggs has to step it up. He has been a bum this year, and Antwan Barnes needs more playing time. That's the only way I see our pass rush getting better. Gregg has stepped up his play and it is evident. All we need is our edge rush to improve.

I agree Suggs needs to step it up I read a report that Suggs was 20 pounds overweight at the start of training camp. I hope he didnt stop caring because he got paid now.

All of those games Webb was our starter. Before Webb started we got **** on in the pass. I am sorry but Zbikowski is not the answer.

I can't wait until people start complaining about Ray Lewis or Ray Rice. OMG THEY SUCK SO BAD!!!!!

It's not fantasy football season anymore, Ray Rice sucks!!!!!

I think Baltimore can do damage in the playoffs if they run the ball a heavy dose. That way you keep the other team's offense off the field.

I agree, running the ball is how you beat the Patriots, especially this year. They are giving up 4.0+ yards per carry. There defense isn't what they used to be. Plus, it'll give our defense a chance to rest and regroup and keep Brady off the field.

And are you glad about Arians getting fired?

Let's just say I'm more happy about this than possibly winning the Super Bowl if we had the chance. I hate that prick. He held back our offense on so many levels. Yes the numbers were there, but who the hell calls 42 pass plays with 35 mph winds and close to 0 degree weather? Bruce Arians does.
