John Harbaugh says Ravens ran over the Redskins

John Harbaugh throws a few stones at the Jets, Redskins

When a team has a bull's-eye on its back, whether earned (like the Saints) or self-attached (like the Jets), their opponents bring the very best they have, every week.

For example, Ravens coach John Harbaugh recently spoke to fans at a "Countdown to Kickoff Barbecue," and he talked about the team's upcoming games including, most importantly, Week 1.

...

Harbaugh also threw a minor dig at the team located the closest, geographically, to the Ravens. Regarding the recent preseason game against the Redskins, Harbaugh said, "We kinda ran over that team, and we're kinda proud of that, that's the way we ought to play."

Then, after the crowd cheered a little, Harbaugh said, "Yeah, that's right. That's what it was."

Wow. I actually don't really have anything against the Ravens, but after comments like this, maybe I should..

Not to mention:
1) It was a preaseason game.
2) Flacco threw for 72 yards, McNabb for 200.
3) They scored their only touchdown (with the starters) off a crazy fake punt return. Who fakes punt returns in preseason anyway??
4) Didn't FD drop a sure TD pass in this one?

Anyway, who cares about scores in preseason.. But still a little disrespectful from the coach up north.. I think they even poured gatorade over zorn that day.. Perhaps they consider this more a rivalry than we do?

They are just jealous that they don't get the publicity that the Skins get. They are like the neglected step child in the relationship. They are a good team, but they don't have the ability to be a championship team. Let them talk shit and when it counts let's see who is left.

Take a look at the Ravens preview on this weeks TMQ. Interesting comparison between Haynesworth and Suggs

I think its hard to not make Balt one of the favorites to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl.

A couple of weeks ago I might have thought the same thing...but Reed and Gaither possibly out for the opener (if not more), Foxworth done for the year, Stallworth gone for the first half of the year...and they just cut Doug Dutch!!! Super Bowl? Nevermore, my friend, nevermore

Time will tell but my bet is that Zorn gets a ring with Balt before Shanny gets one with the Skins.

Hello? Which message board are you on?? That's a bet for sure. For nothing but pride. Can't believe you're betting against us on our own board.

I think you need to remove that riggins jersey on your profile...comments like that don't deserve to don the 44.

ps.

enjoy that old as **** defense too.

Really, I do not see that happening. They cannot get through the AFC playoffs.

Either we both don't win one or we do before them.

Not being a homer just realistic. They do not have the team this year, and are going to need to focus on that older defense next year.

Hahaha, it sounds like you're arguing that we should have kept Zorn.

You might be right about the rings, but only because we're so far behind them due to years of mismanagement.

I hate to say it, but I think it will be more of the same from the AFC, The Pats or The Colts.

The Ravens do not have the complete team that others think.

Can't say I'm not sick of them but the Pats have really impressed me. Right now I've got them and Green Bay in the SB

We were playing vanilla DF & OF, I would've liked for us to have won the game but I have to remember it's preseason.

Vanilla Outfield?

Look, the Ravens are a really good team, and have been managed much better than the Redskins for a long time. It's only fitting that they are ahead of us right now since it took Dan Snyder ten years to realize incompetent boobs shouldn't be running the show.

And yeah, someone needs to remind Harbaugh that it took a ridiculous preseason fake punt to finally put a TD on the board. Our defense has been giving everybody fits so far.
