Barry showed no ability to put players in the right position for success. A long, long way to go for this season, and I still feel we'll be able to win this division. But if tonight's showing was a sample what we'll see from this defense throughout the duration, then cronyism could doom Gruden.

I agree with this whole post. Based on this game, its hard to have any faith in our defensive calls. Everything Pittsburgh did worked. Even the couple stops they got could have been 1st downs with better passes. Watching a 33 year old RB torch our defense was sad!
