So what do you do?  I'd say fire Pettine and hire a new DC but we already fired Capers and hired Pettine and that clearly hasn't fixed the issues.  I just don't know how to solve this teams defensive issues.  

I don't think firing the ABM is the answer (and I would be shocked if that happened) to fix what is the problem with the defense.  I think if you upgrade ILB and the DL with guys who are physical and not just "guys" you will see an immediate improvement.  I would take the opposite stance and that is that Pettine's coaching job this year has been pretty darn good given the shortcomings in some areas of the defense.  Yes they have to figure out how to stop the big plays but overall it was Pettine's defense that carried this team at times.
