No sacks. The line deserves kudos.

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.

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.

I was expecting to be able to tackle, and that our secondary would not get absolutely torched. If flacco n smith can burn us like that than we are in trouble against our division foes. Especially if Bradford stays healthy. With our luck he will be healthy all year now that we play him twice. I expected our special teams not to go into dumbass mode when we finally grab momentum with 20 seconds left in the half. I expected the playcalling to be better. I expected us to be prepared to play football when the game started. Basically i expected all of the bone headed things we have been doing for several years to be less glaring. They were not. How many third and longs did they convert early on when it was the first teamers? That shit has been killling us forever. 3rd and 13. They get 15. Third and 9. They get 11. It was the same old crap.
I was extremely happy with KC hanging in there and bouncing back and its quite obvious after last night that our o-line is not nearly as dysfunctional when griff isnt under center. I think d-jax will make a huge difference and our run game might have the best one two punch in the game, but none of this will matter much if we dont do the basic shit we need to do to win a game - like tackling, and taking naps on third and long.

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.

He was under pressure and the Ravens were blitzing. I think the thing that KC did was just not sit back there and hold on to the ball. It was coming out. NO SACKS. That's what he did/does well and that really helps out the linemen. It also looked like he adjusted the protections a few times as well.

Certainly not a great performance or anything, but solid. I think that's what we'll see more him most of the year if they stay with him. He's probably never going to be great, or will carry the team. Just not that type of player. But he's probably the best out of the three for this offense.

I was at the game last night (with my Ravens fans wife and daughter, I was enjoying every moment of getting in trouble) and it got me really excited for the season. I mean, I don't expect a breakthrough season by any means, but just feel like it won't be so embarrassing to be a Redskins fan anymore. Time will tell of course, but it was awesome to hear all the Redskins fans dominating the stadium last night. Seriously, I don't know if BMo fans don't know how to cheer or maybe they're saving it up for the regular season, but when the Redskins Offense was at work it was almost silent in the stadium, except on 3rd downs, but every Ravens Offensive play you could hear skins fans making noise. The team was hyped and so were the fans, I was a proud Redskins fan for the first time since 2012. I hope it wasn't the last time this year.

Funny how receivers can make a guy miss and get yards after catch when the ball arrives on time. #HTTR #RedskinsTalk #WASvsBAL

Funny how an NFL offense looks when quarterbacks engage in quarterbacking. #HTTR #RedskinsTalk #WASvsBAL
