Redskins vs Ravens Gameday thread

The O line looked terrible. JC looks like he always does and so did the WRs. Orakpo did look good. Its only the first preseason game so its not panic time.

Really? I actually thought the O Line looked pretty decent

Ok. They didnt look like they could protect anything to me. The QB seemed under pressure too often.

The fact that it was vanilla makes matters worse, in my opinion. Preseason is vanilla and everyone gets 1v1 match ups. Fact is, we lost a large majority of 1v1 match ups.

As I say every preseason. The score doesn't matter, but the individual play of our players matters. We need to see this team beat the man in front of them.

i LIKE BUGS

Really? I hate bugs, gross.

I really thought the OLine looked good, well the first and seconds. Campbell was not touched, I don't think, except for a blown block by Betts. And Collins seemed to have time as well. Also, I would point out that the D we were playing was no slouch.
I think I said this before, we got a good break with our preseason schedule, because the offense is going to get tested by the best of the best defenses. Maybe they won't rise up, but if our O can be forged into something better than last year, these are the teams we should be playing.

We beat Indy in the opener last year, didn't mean much. I don't think this loss will mean much either.

And yes I am disappointed.

Oh and the biggest positive:

No Injuries.

Someone needs to help me out with this. What did Betts do to get the backlash tonight? He didn't drop two first down passes like Hagans.

Did you expect a touchdown on those plays where 2 Ravens are in the backfield when he gets the handoff?

At least I can put to bed the he is better than Portis argument.... I remember several heated exchanges over that one.

Some people just have it out for him. Just tune it out, no sense in trying to make sense of it.

It took me 3 1/2 quarters to finally decide to change the channel because for whatever reason I was glued to the disaster on my TV, but finally woke up and realized it was the first preseason game. Players have to learn to gel with each other. Rookies have to get rid of the jitters. and Zorn is not going to show his hand like Gibbs never did. Most of preseason was for the O-line to get their blocking down and D-line to learn where to rush and when. Having said all that....

"WOW" LOL :O[/QUOTE]

You lasted 3 1/2 quarters? My, you ARE a glutton for punishment! I was outta there before the end of the first half. Your comments with respect to what preseason is all about are on point; however, you probably also realize that that applies to BOTH teams. Unfortunately, only one had the drive and desire to come out and play football, while the other merely showed up and went through the motions (pathetically, I might add.)

It would have been more fitting for the 'skins players to have emerged from their locker room last night sporting red rubber noses and huge shoes, stuffed into a number of tiny cars spinning wildly in small circles, with the Redskins band playing that Ringling Brothers favorite, "Enter The Gladiators".

(Heavy Sigh) Only one game under our belts, and already, this year looks just like [the second half] of last year; brace yerselves ladies and germs, methinks it's going to be a loooooong season....

campbell needs more snaps, brady and mcnabb both got more than he did.... and they both took a few shots down the field... 1st preseason game or not, play calling bothered me again from highlights and what im hearing... i was at the eagles game, thier offense looked alot better than ours. w/out westbrook

I couldn't agree w/ you more. Brady and McNabb were in there well into the 2nd q and their offenses were waaaaaaaaay better than ours last year.
