Secondary depleated?

Is there really an excuse for what happened when we played Pittsburg? Ben Rothlisburger threw up and down the feild, he was just playing pitch and catch out there. When i was watching I kept saying, "theres no way hes gonna complete that pass".

Then the I see downfeild, and there is a reciever wide open with no one within ten yards of him. Is this the defensive coordinators mistake, the players mistake, or about half in half? Whatever the problem is, we need to fix it RIGHT NOW!!!! The Jags were known for a hard-hitting, hard-nosed defence. Now we look like the stock market, on the verge of bottoming out.

Somebody please tell me what happened! We don't look like AFC contenders anymore, we are struggling to stay in the race. We need to destroy the next 3 teams we face, and we will be right back in the mix.

We have injuries

That’s really what it comes down to. We lost some O linemen and it’s revealed our weaknesses that were hidden before. Like last year I suspected that the Patriots D was way overrated. I thought that the offense masked the problems they truly had, but you couldn’t see. When that offense held the ball as long as it did and scored as many points as it did, it forced opposing offences in-between a rock and a hard place. They found they needed to get away from their game plan, that they needed to score quickly and that usually means turnovers and short drives because they can’t convert third downs. Now that Brady has been put on IR, the Pat D has been exposed and by Miami no less.
We are in the same predicament now, but we have one advantage. We have the personnel on defense to be good when healthy. Notice also, that special teams has been so good covering they have been giving longer fields for opposing offenses to work with; which is good, but for statistical purposes it allows opposing offenses to have a longer fields to rack up yards and time. So in a funny way it makes good defenses look even better because they reduce scoring; but, it makes mediocre or bad defenses look worse.
So basically things are not as bad they look. And when they get better, they will get a lot better.
