Their corners were bad when we played them, with all the injuries they've suffered in the secondary makes them even worse now.

I might have to agree with the CB's being bad but the secondary is now playing as a unit v.s. individual players TRYING to make plays. MAttison was still coming into his own and learning the strength/weaknesses of his defense. We are a totally different type of defense then in the past. We play more base and a lot less outside blitzing. The responsibility of the front line is not only to plug the gaps and keep guys of the LB's but to get penetration from the middle (lol).

The Patriots aren't the same team that played the Jets back in September, so we shouldn't assume the Ravens are the same team that we saw the first time around. The numbers certainly indicate that the Ravens' defense has improved since then, regardless of their injuries.

Seems like both teams utilize a bend-don't break defense in order to cover up some deficiencies, as opposed to the attacking defenses that are willing to give up an occasional big play in exchange for a larger number of turnovers and big plays by their defense.

Wrong, but a valiant effort.

No, they are not. Not yet.

Rules have changed for the upcoming draft, IF the Patriots should lose on Sunday they are going to get at most the 23rd slot and possibly the 22nd slot if the Packers lose.
