Redskins vs. Ravens pre-game thread

In their last 7 games, the Ravens have scored (34, 36, 10 - giants, 41, 37, 29 and 27)...Flacco may be a rookie, but he's putting points on the board. Even if we hold the raven's to 14, why are were going to score 15?

Irish, don't let facts get in the way here. This is a weekly thread where people put on their rose colored glasses, sip some kool-aid, and predict a Redskins victory, usually with some outrageously high score in the 30+ points range.

While I would love to see a victory, the skins on the road in Balmer against a very tough D, I predict loss #6 17-7.
It has nothing to do with rose colored glass and more that some people believe that we can win every game we play if we play good ball. Thats not saying we feel we should go 16/0 but we believe we can win each game. Its not like the Skins have not played any good football this year. Its not like we don't have a D that can keep us in the game. I don't get a person coming here and posting week in and week out only to predick us to loose. How boring. I don't even see why people would spend their time posting if thats how they feel about their team. I hold hope every game that we will or can win the game so thats why I never pick against my team.

Mostly turnovers and fieldgoals. Redskins-16 Ravens-9

I'm not sure if I was reading it correctly or not. but everyone is jumping on Riggo's message like flies to a cow patty....any thought that he was simply being sarcasticaly funny and some are taking offense to it like a lead balloon?

Also I'm seeing about half the people are predicting a Skins win and half are not. All are putting their two cents in even if it's simply to say "Don't know the reason just a feeling" (which I did last week by the way) and now we have people singling each other out saying ...."Don't be negative and if you are you have to come up with a decent explination as to why you feel the Skins will lose?"

I must have missed the one where Irish singled someone out when he made his statement about the teams trick play but now we are jumping on a fellow board member and Riggo for either defending him or simply trying to be sarcastically funny?

I guess the losing funk is getting to everyone. Now we have to win. Geez.

Ravens 29, Redskins 16

skins lose 17-10.

Their D is good and they have a pretty good young QB. I always wondered what Baltimore would have if they got a decent QB.... it seems as if they have one in the making.

I'm not totally pessimistic, though. I think we'll win out and still make the playoffs, but we'll have to put up a better showing offensively to continue whether we make them of not...

In a super, ultra boring game, our defense scores the only touchdown.

Skins 10, Ravens 7.

If we can't stop the run, we lose 20, 10.

Something tells me Jason Taylor plays his best game of the season this Sunday and comes up with 2 sacks.If we score a defensive touchdown, we'll win.

I'm actually certain that the Redskins are too fundamentally solid of a team to lose a game in which their defense scores. Problem is, the only defensive score that has occurred in a Redskins game this year came off a fumble by our Guard.

It has been that sort of year. When looking for reasons why we don't score points, I think it starts with the fact that the defense and special teams have combined for all of six points by players not named Shaun Suisham, who has his own problems anyway.

I agree with the Jason Taylor part. He actually looked good (on the pass rush at least) against the Giants, and if we stop blitzing so often, I would expect his success to continue.

I don't think it's too much to ask the D/ST units to average about 1.5 to 2 points a game, and the Redskins are at 0.5.

If we score a defensive touchdown, we'll win.

I think against a lesser line like the Ravens, we'll be able to do a good job of getting pressure on Flacco. If there's anything we've been pretty good at, it's defending the deep ball and that's his forte. I think Landry also gets a pick this game from Flacco forcing one deep.
