Mike Zimmer - Career D-Coordinator

Tonight sealed the deal.

I figured the pass D would be a liability. Didn't figure Zimmer would be this outclassed though...... If we had even an average D, this would have been an interesting game.

On the other hand, I'd probably give Gruden a head coaching job tomorrow. Before his quarterback started forcing the action, Gruden was hanging in with a patchwork offensive line and no real second receiver.

The offense wasnt really the problem. I think if Marv had the balls to go for it in 4th at the 1 things would have been different. Woulda been a big momentum shift.

I thought the offense was very good. They brought us back time and time again. They were within 1 yard of tying the game early in the second half. They kept the Ravens off the field. It's only natural that Dalton would start to force the action given that the D was so horrible.

I should also mention that I think the Ravens D is pretty ordinary. They aren't the same without Suggs and Johnson. Wouldn't be surprised to see them in some shoot-outs this season.

I agree. Their D isn't what it used to be.
