Redskins vs. Ravens, Pre-Season Game 2, Gameday Thread

i actually thought our preformance wasnt as bad as the ending score with regards to the first team. I thought our first team D played pretty damn well. Offense was shaky...but sh*t it been shaky for the last ten years. I thought Armstrong and Moss played eceptionally well.

I wonder how many of you who are saying "preseason means nothing" were saying that last weekend when we scored 42 points. And would you be saying that tonight if we were on the winning end of a 23-3 game? During the preseason it's a convenient stance to take when you look like crap.

Me? I'm glad we took one on the chin. The preseason is all about learning what kind of team you've got from the top of the roster to the bottom. A gut check that means nothing come week 1 can't be all that bad. Now coaches will have some shitty film to bust balls over on Monday morning. Use it as a learning tool and move on.

I was with the grain of salt crowd. I was thrilled that we did so well but at the same time I realized that

A) We were playing the Bills
and
B) It's Preseason

This is why there are preseasons.

I will admit to saying that we looked very prepared for football last week. This week we got our asses handed to us. If you look at the game though it was really 1 special teams play that separated us from the Ravens in the first half.

Yeagh our pass pro was shakey but the Ravens Blitz packages were something that the Bills couldn't provide. We got some good work tonight.

The 3rd game as you know we will actually game plan for and will give us a better indication of where we are. I was comfortable last week but not over confident. I am not worried after tonight. Ask me after the 3rd quarter next week and I will let you know if I think the sky is falling or not.

As of right now I think that we are a solid football team that has a few things to work out. We'll be fine.

And I don't want to hear that the starters had no pass rush. Orakpo would have had at least 3 sacks but the Ravens held and weren't called.

I haven't seen a game that poorly officiated in a while. They couldn't get anything right, and that call where they said the play was over because of forward progress was just as bad or worse than the call by Hochuli. sp

compare this to last years ravens pre season game it was a totally different feeling to it

Hey, Ed Hoculi is a great official. Everone remembers the one terrible call but he is outstanding as an official. What if we were to hold players to the same standard?

fine..

we scored 3

if you can defend that you're the new Johnny Cochrane

If the glove does not fit, you must acquit.

Seriously though, I'm not saying that we dominated, but people are acting like we got owned. We got owned score-wise, but really the only thing I learned is that, like you said, we have bad depth and that our first team O and D are going to be pretty good.
