Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Ravens)

[Bucket]

One more thing I wanted to add was Penalties. We did a good job in the first 2 games with not doing dumb mistakes, but this game we cost ourselves basically 14 points because of penalties.

Both of the Ravens first half scoring drives were because of penalties that we had them stopped, and they ended up getting a first down. Score could of easily been 21-0 or more in the first half.

Great point, but how ironic is it that one of our penalties actually lead to us getting a TD? Still, that was just dumb luck and we really need to focus on eliminating those stupid mistakes.

I agree with you on the penalties. One of those penalties allowed the Ravens to continue a scoring drive, after we had them stopped deep in their own territory. Have to keep that stuff cleaned up.

I'm very concerned about Jenkins though. The defense really needs him in there!
