And keep in mind Desean Jackson did not play. He REALLY changes the way defenses play us.

No sacks. The line deserves kudos.

Lucky?
It's a two way street. Goes your way, goes the other. Give me the list of maybe the last three teams you heard....proclaim they got points they did not deserve?
Let's see, KC could easily have cratered as maybe the biggest performance of his career. But....he did not. Even after his INT...he didn't. He played pretty well.
With several....key starters out, we posted (with starters on starters) a winning score at the half and our 2nd and thirds mopped their 2 and 3 squad.
That's...what...went...on
Kick their ass when they deserve, but give a few accolades when deserved...

Lucky catch?? The ball hit Roberts in his hands. At the very least, he should have caught it and it should have been first and goal from about the 8 yard line. At least they were in a position to attempt a touchdown pass. The Offense moved and our QB wasn't getting thrown around like a rag doll. Major improvement.

was at the game & it started to look like it was gonna be a long night...then, *poof*, the 'Skins got a few breaks that went our way.

Kirk looked better than we've seen, but he was still throwing behind guysand I felt he was staring the receivers down still. But, after a rocky start, he finished well.

I didn't read anybody talking about McCoy though.
His passes were really on the mark, leading receivers, putting the ball on the right side of his receivers, etc. He even threw the ball away on a broken play in the red zone...he lived to fight another day & eventually scored.

Really splitting hairs. For a guy who hasn't played with the ones and was in a heated battle just to be a backup, KC had more production in one pre-season game than our proclaimed starter had in 5. With RG3 being the alternative, I don't see how anyone could have anything negative to say about Kirk's performance. Would you really rather have RG3 back there? It's hard to play the position with less competence.

Not sure what people were expecting but the Ravens are a SB contending team. They make the playoffs just about every year. They're better than we are.

I saw a lot of positives but there are still some glaring weaknesses. Poor tackling and teams continue to be issues. I don't think Amerson should be on an NFL field. He may have the tools and all, but he just can't get get the job done on game day. Can't tackle or cover. May need to move on from him.

He was horrible and Goldson wasn't much better. Hopefully, Amerson won't need to play if he makes the team.

Goldson is probably going to be a starter and he will hurt us. I can foresee the Skins ending the season with a younger starter at FS.

Can't dismiss the fact the INT was bad, and he fumbled a snap, but overall he played well.

The lucky bounce on the TD catch hit Roberts perfectly & should've been caught.

Exactly. What I liked about that play was there was a free blitzer coming on KC's backside. He had to get rid of it and he put it right on the money.

I don't think these points can be stressed enough, Desean takes basically 1 to 2 guys out of the box and makes those holes for Morris and Jones so much bigger and easier to find, the line was awesome yesterday.

Also Kerrigan didn't play either, but I was very impressed with Preston Smith and Jackson Jeffcoat

Really good point.

They had 8 guys in the box the entire 1st half.

I was unable to watch most of this game. Did Kirk face many blitzes? I know usually in most preseason games teams don't biltz much.
