Redskins vs. Ravens pre-game thread
 

Alright time to move on from the insanity of the QB controversy talk and get back to the games. Still 4 games to go and the Skins aren't dead yet.

Discuss the upcoming game here, make your predictions, etc.

Re: Redskins vs. Ravens pre-game thread
 

All I want is a 1 point lead when the gun goes off. No, that is not Plax's gun but the Ref's ending the game. Zorn just needs to find a way to beat the rush and make them pay for stacking the box then we can get CP moving the ball. I say we start the game passing until we get something going. For get trying to run from the start but after we connect on a few passes then start to work the run into the game plan. I don't care if we go 3 and out a few times trying to pass but keep trying until we can move the ball.

basiclly...i just wanna see offense. I know Ed Reed is a little banged up, he was having trouble getting to receivers/ballcarries last week, but this is the same guy that can ruin our day so i dont know how important that is.
Were def commin up with a couple INTs against Flacco. I like the way our CBs have been playing..especially early in the game when theyre not worn out and tired because theyve been on the field all day (exeption last week). Theyre run game is hardly impressive. Our Run Game (especially with CP so iffy these days) is in question if we cant pass...more like in deep shit. This week we need to pass til we can run.
..well here goes......
SKINS 16
RAVENS 10

Re: Redskins vs. Ravens pre-game thread
 

I think the Ravens D is just as good as the Giants and this week's result will be the same as last week.

Ravens 27
Redskins 0

Nice, glad to see irish on board...

Re: Redskins vs. Ravens pre-game thread
 

I'll make a prediction since I haven't the last four games.

Skins 16
Ravens 13

We need to win turnovers battle, because if we lose that then it's donezo.

Re: Redskins vs. Ravens pre-game thread
 

In a super, ultra boring game, our defense scores the only touchdown.

Skins 10, Ravens 7.

If we can't stop the run, we lose 20, 10.

Something tells me Jason Taylor plays his best game of the season this Sunday and comes up with 2 sacks.

Re: Redskins vs. Ravens pre-game thread
 

what we still have a chance, the way people were talking i thought that the draft was next week

Re: Redskins vs. Ravens pre-game thread
 

Redskins 21
Ravens 14

Re: Redskins vs. Ravens pre-game thread
 

Something about Ole Flaco scares me, but we'll work out of this slump this week and pull away with another close one.

Skins 21
Ravens 20

I would like to make another prediction also.....

Suisham get no attempted FG's and Thrash stays on ST's!

Sometimes it feels that way. Referencing the other thread, I definitely think that the 6-2 start made me expectations unreasonably high. I was like, "PLAYOFFS BABY, MAYBE EVEN SUPER BOWL RUN" and then in true Redskins fashion, we get shot back down to Earth.

What bothers me is that week in and week out, the Redskins live to shorter my life expectancy due to heart attack. I've never seen a team so inconsistent over the past few years. Sure, we've had some playoff runs, but it's SO frustrating to not field a team in the past 4-5 years that will straight up blow a crappy team out.

Many teams we are the favorite and have been playing dominant football. It isn't the personnel, it isn't the coaching, it's just the way it goes and that's what depresses me the most.

All this being said, I'm willing to be patient with Zorn for at least 3 more years as long as we see progression. Of course everyone wants to win now, but sometimes that just won't happen. This year won't be our year (just being realistic) and I think that right now we're at a definite crossroads. We have a great nucleus of some young players and established stars that we can either build through the draft and a few shrewd FA moves OR we can totally screw it up and then be in rebuilding mode for the next few years.

Re: Redskins vs. Ravens pre-game thread
 

I have no idea how we can even be competitive in this game.

Skins 10-28 Ravens

Re: Redskins vs. Ravens pre-game thread
 

Please please please win this game at least for all the Baltimore Redskin fans. My life will be hell if we lose this game. It is all I want for Xmas this year! I would even give up the playoffs for this win.

Actually their Rush/game is 3rd, ours is 5th. They also, like the Giants, have figured how to score. The Redskins need to win, just so I have peace at work though! Hope that is enough motivation for them.
Think it comes down to Suisham's night.

Skins 19
Ravens 17

It took a trick type play for the Skins to get their only TD last week and I just dont believe that the Ravens will let that happen. The Skins just dont score points (on O, D, or not-so-special teams) and that makes it hard to win.
