Ravens V Redskins - Beltway Brawl or Maryland Massacre?

I assume you were kidding, but I meant Ravens fans.i didn't know if you meant the team or the fans

If rg3 continues to play well and stays healthy there will be a ton of bandwagon fans in the coming years.

I can see that in your location. I hate myself for wanting that Super Bowl for them. I was like, "YEAH! If the Skins can't do it, at least a semi-close home team can." And Earthquake, I know you don't have to be from the place your favorite team is, but I forgot the most important Ravens fan group: former Skins fans.

Have a buddy who loved the Panthers and said, "They're never on TV, I'm a Ravens fans now." Well congratulations asshole, the Skins are on TV EVERY WEEKEND HERE. I told him the bandwagon will be full next year when you decide you made a terrible and ridiculous decision. I don't mean that I don't want the Skins to gain new fans because of RG3s popularity, but when you go from Carolina to Baltimore, all respect is lost.

Ha Ya HAAA HAAA!....I'm sorry for your lost respect for your friend....It's funny. I remember listening to espn980 to Kevin and Tom years back. They were talking about the Wash/Balt rivalry debate and Kevin and Tom refuse to call it that also. I remember Kevin talking about the those ramble fans. He said He couldn't download the thought of being anything but the fan you started out being. It's true to me. How does one root against a team you use to be a fan of.....very wierd and warped.. I guess it has to be that way for some players also...

Dude's ....was Fletcher pumped for that Giants game or what!!! It was cool they did the microphone on him for the game....I still have a mental picture of him bustin' Bradshaws ass on the sideline and yellin' "Com'on chump....thats right....It's on"

Get'em Fletcher....It's on! Get'em pumped...HTTR....

While I appreciate the big Monday Night win, and I won't downplay the fact that the Skins have swept the last three games against the NFC East, two of those games on a National stage, one on the road....I still am suspect about this defense...and it does get worse with the loss of C Griff. Perhaps Haslett is creative enough to mask yet another key loss with his "scheming"...but I am of the opinion, the loss of CG will be noticeable.

To me, the offense must play lights out, and we will need some help from special teams in order to pull this game out, and down the stretch.

This is the playoffs. Our playoffs started three weeks ago...

7-0 lets go!

When I was a kid I really like the Cleveland Browns, but when they moved to Baltimore (even though it was closer to home) I never embraced them. In fact, I kind of disowned them and started hating them

That said, from a professional standpoint (as in my career), I'm unfortunately a huge fan of their organization. Like I love the Redskins as a football fan, but don't think I'd ever want to work for them but I can't stand the Ravens as a football fan, but would probably choose them over any other NFL organization as an employee.


Just finished watching Cleveland 95 A Football Life. One of the best i've seen. Belicek coaching tree and management style was profiled, just amazing. He signed Scott Pioli for $14,000.

This is going to be a fun one to watch.

Unlike a few years ago, when it was 2 top 10 defenses going at it, this time its going to be 2 top offenses going at it.

Ed Reed today said RG3 is like superman, and for RG3 to not run the ball is like telling superman to not fly.

Do we have a CB fast enough to cover Torrey? I don't think so..

Side note: Inside the NFL guys all picked us to beat the ravens.

Also London was on Jim Romes new show. Jim asked him about our chances of going on a run in the playoffs. Londons response didn't sound too confident at first, then he said we've been playing our best football and we'll see. He didn't flat out say "Oh I definitely think we can go on a run"... :(

^^ Got a put a safety over T Smith all game long, simple as that. I like that we're not overly confident, it means we should be ready for every game.

I'm loving what the Redskins are doing on both sides of the ball. Now, if only the secondary can get it together. I think it could come down to Forbath nailing a 45 yard FG for the game winner with 2 seconds remaining in the game. When was the last time the Redskins had this kind of thrilling win?

I should start another thread here with this " Iron Man Fletcher or Iron Man Ray Lewis". But since Ray won't play because his iron seems to be turning to pot metal I won't start it.
I'm hoping Fletcher pumps up the D and we get a smack down on the Balt crows actually. Think of the message it spreads to the AFC side.
Ravens are quiet now licking there wounds from Steeler whoopin' on 'em nows the time to kick'em when there down.
With Lewis out they actually play somewhat faster. I suspect with Suggs injury even if he plays he won't extend that arm to tackel but bull rush and still set the edge.
Anthow it seems even though Lewis made more probowls the real iron man is still makin' plays. Get'em Fletch....pump'em up!!!!
