    How would you rate the d up to this point? I for one really want to see how Minny does against the pack tonight. The titans were really holding that team until the titans imploded on offense.

    It feels bad when I watch it. I see missed tackles and so many 3rd and long conversions.

    But then weve only allowed 1 TD in 2 games. And average 12 points given up per game (don't count safety for the 2 turnovers returned for TDs against them) ... Maybe its gonna be a good bend but don't break type of D

    Surprisingly adequate... the offense is still the question mark, in my opinion.

    Giving up one TD in two games is amazing. But I'm really concerned about DB. Cox has been pretty real horrible (except for the INT). I thought they did a nice job with QB pressure in the second half but they weren't getting close previously. The tackling was pretty bad today.

    Got to be proud how they played better late after being on the field so much today.

    Tackling is consistently bad, especially by the DBs.

    Special teams is pathetic on returns and Mariani shows little burst though he is consistent at least.

    Still not sure our LBs are any good.

    I would say so so. I mean last week held Peterson in check but got no pressure on Hill. This week got 4 sacks but let Stafford get a couple of long runs. So it is hit or miss what they are going to be good and struggle at from week to week. But also it not like the d is overflowing with talent either.

    I'll hold my opinion until they play the Jags, Texans and Colts. 3 teams which they couldn't stop last year.

    EDIT: OK, after 10 sec. of reflection, I feel I should make an opinion. They're pretty good, but as mentioned above, the tackling is not great (cough COX!!!) and the secondary still isn't good. How many TD's did Detroit have called back on penalties? Maybe the penalty was the reason why they got in. Maybe they were lucky (looking at the Ebron TD).

    well

    they did allow 2 in the same drive that came back.. but technically..

    the stat sheet makes them look better than what your eyes are telling you
