Got it. Thought you were saying he's a Ravens player or staff member

I agree. I also saw in the recap on both yahoo and espn that they called mcnabb's passes erratic lol. He definitely had a few get away from him including the int, but weren't there around 4-5 drops including the td to Davis? I think both groups of starters played pretty good except for the running game which couldn't get consistent blocking. The starting d would have also had a couple sacks if Orakpo and others weren't almost getting their jerseys ripped off on some plays.

Yea, im watching the game again today on NFLN. In the first two series there were 3-4 drops. Coming from last year im totally impressed after this game.

1st quarter was all about the Skins and u gotta think this was against a top tier team in the AFC. It's not like either team was just out there going through the motions either. The 1st half seemed to be played like a regular season game.

The refs certainly missed a lot of holds against the Ravens. I was surprised they let that many go.

I got to say last night was a body bag game for the redskins;
Trent Williams gets a bruised elbow
Kareem Moore our starting FS gets a sprained MCL, and could be out up to 6 weeks...
Mike Sellers gets a knee/leg injury
McNabb got whooped in the pocket at times last night
Jamaal Brown played one series and left, I hope he didn't re injure his hip.

I am issuing a public appology to Pockets Straight and Gus Frerotte. Alcohol + Loss x Disagreement = Bad posting. I am not saying that I agree with you guys but you have your own arguments and suport them well.

Pockets we should have just agreed to disagree but I kept pushing the envelope, that's just my nature sometimes. I am partly responsible for some of the comments that you made toward me.

Gus, it was wrong for me to even drag you into the whole ordeal. After your response I went back an read some more of your posts and suprisingly enough I agree with many things that you say. I will have to double check though because it could have been the alcohol. I still swear that we don't see the same things when we are watching the game though. Needless to say you are not mindnumbingly retarded.

GMScud thanks for having my back, I will walk through a dark alley with you any day.

To the rest of the posters, I appologize that you had to witness the mindless crap that I was spewing around. Even though some of you may have found it funny.

HTTR...I cannot believe I just did that.

Williams, Sellers, and McNabb will all be fine

Brown was only supposed to play one series anyway

Moore's injury is concerning

Apology accepted Angry. I am with you on your thoughts most of the time as well. Just shocked me though. I understand I get folks crazy with my Gus Frerotte schtick, but that is just my MO. I am far from perfect either(I screwed up about the McNabb and Brown comepnsation recently). Anyway, no hard feelings at all!!!!

Those refs last night sucked and seemed like they where paid by the Ravens. With 25 seconds left in the half number 53 for the Ravens got preasure on McNabb and as he hit him through a forearm at his head. The ref was just standing there and let that go along with all the hoding plays. Not sure who 53 is but FU and I hope you go down on a cheap hit.

[skinsfaninok]

I'm at work but I recorded the game and will watch here in a couple hours. I wanna see these bad calls and cuss at the refs lol HTTR

I love both cities and feel weird having to claim one, almost like I'm part of a gang. Ironically if two teams hadn't moved my teams today would probably be the Bullets, Caps, Senators, and Colts.

I personally always hope the Ravens and Nats do well except when they play the Skins and Orioles. Is anyone else the same way or am I insane?

By the way, if you live in New York how do you choose to root for the Jets or Giants? I can understand the Yankees and Mets since their stadiums are separate and if all else fails you can just choose the team closer to your borough, but obviously the Giants and Jets share a stadium.

Why would you be all Washington except for football had the Colts stayed around?

My Dad grew up a Colts fan, if the Colts hadn't moved he would still be rooting for them today. When I started watching sports at around 5 or 6 years old I would simply root for the teams my Dad rooted for. His teams growing up were the Colts, Senators, and Bullets, he was never really much of a hockey guy. By the time I came along it was all about the Redskins, Orioles, and Bullets. Though ironically I was a Bulls fan until I moved to Chicago.

I really don't get the whole DC vs Baltimore thing. As far as I'm concerned I was fortunate enough to grow up near two awesome cities. Even though my Dad tells me that I went to DC numerous times, most of my childhood memories involve going to Baltimore seeing as how I had an Uncle that lived there along with the fact that it was always easier to get tickets to Oriole games.

Ahh got it.. weird that he was Bmore for fb and Wash for baseball when each city had a team

I think it had to do with him going to baseball games at RFK as a kid while growing up with Johnny Unitas as his favorite player.

And I say now that Lendy Holmes makes the team-- since he's also considered to be the other only true FS on the roster--you agree?

Actually never mind. My Dad grew up a Redskins, Senators, and Bullets fan. So in reality the only Baltimore team that he was a fan of was the Bullets. He always liked the Colts and admired the players they had on their teams but he was always a Redskin fan (ironically not much different for me with Ravens) . For some weird reason he rooted for the Phillies after the Senators left, in part because he could pick them up on some distance radio station. However being a baseball fan he eventually developed a love for attending games on a regular basis and he liked how the Orioles continued to play well even after loosing a lot of their players so around 1973 he started rooting for the O's.

Man you think you know a person.
