    I've felt through the first four games that we've had some issues on defense that were going to be exposed, but I had no idea it would be in a divisional loss against Houston. Truly, what does it say about your defense as a whole if a rookie quarterback in his third game starting can embarrass you like that? Don't get me wrong, the offense did the defense no favors today- Mariota's 2 scores only make up for his first interception and one of Cassel's. Other than that Houston had almost as many touchdowns as the Titans had first downs. This team can win with a close game or the lead, but neither the offense or defense can handle playing from behind. Is it our secondary? Is it our line? Is it the 3/4? What are your thoughts? Try and keep it constructive.

    Wait until the offseason and upgrade the athleticism and playmaking.

    Firing the coaching staff would help too.

    The defense isn't good, not sure we can do enough to make a difference this year. Both of those first rounders should have probably been used on defense

    Oh yeah, get better penetration up the middle on passing downs.

    The Cows OL was supposed to be real bad but we hardly got to Watson today.

    Even in the games we won, D gave up huge passing plays and we're not getting enough pressure on the QBs. Watson throwing dart on our defense.

    We are getting tons of pressure from our ends, just nothing at all from the middle.

    The personal we have is better suited for 4-3. The 3-4 experiment has been a total disaster for this team.
