Agreed that the D must step up, and I believe the D did just that when they forced NYJ to kick 4 FGs and that NYJ scored both of their TDs on drives of 39 yards and 61 yards. 100 yards for 14 points, no thanks to the offense and special team coverage.

Remember we played without Colston and Sproles yesterday, though, and both are drive-extending, first-down makers. We don't execute nearly as efficiently without them in there, and it is glaringly obvious. Pedestrian offense without them, adding the fact the NYJ D-line killed our O-line all day long. DLP should donate his game check to rehabilitating prostitutes, 'cause he got pimp-slapped for 29 minutes and 38 seconds yesterday.

I think our D played well enough and the O just didn't come up with the plays when we needed them. The TOs killed us as well. I agree with you. I still don't get why Payton got away from the run so early. Our running game hasn't been effective all year but we stuck with it and made the D play the run; against the Jets we didn't even try to keep them honest.

15 rushing yards in the 1st half. I reckon he was salivating over the Bengals putting up 49 the week before on that secondary, and that we'd beat that secondary deep early and often. Oh well...onward and upwards.
