Skins leading the NFL in total offense & defense

[diehard]

I like to believe that the teams scoring offense has been a result of just executing plays as supposed to game planning. Some would say you always play to win but, it's the preseason and you don't show your hand to early. That is what Spurrier did.

A few years ago Detriot went undefeated in pre season and went 0-16 in the regular season. We all remember Osaka. Back in 87 we played like shit during the pre season and won the SB. Anyone remember the Playboy incident with Gibbs and Buckhanz?? Pre season games mean nothing, teams aren't game planning. However there are some very nice bright spots in camp this year.

We still cant finish and score! The players are def playing hard and appear faster though.

Can't think of a better opponent to see how we are going to fare this upcoming season. The Ravens D looked in mid-season form against the Chiefs last week.

During his 8/22 press interview, Beck mentioned that the Ravens will be a very good measuring stick for the team as a whole because of their intensity. Interested in seeing how they do.

I'm not surprised because it seems to me like the Skins are playing these games like regular season games. Not as much as when OBC was here but still they arent holding anything back.

This.

If we move the ball well against the Ravens my expectations for this season will officially have been changed dramatically.

Even if we struggle my eyes have been opened. We are getting better fast.

I don't want to just "move the ball." I want to SCORE TOUCHDOWNS. Tired of getting to the 10 yard line and TW giving up a sack. If we win on 5 field goals, we haven't fixed our main problem.

The difference between the top teams and bottom teams is slim. We tend to lose games by less than 3 pts -- Last year we had 12 games decided by less than a touchdown, and NINE games by a field goal or less. Our defense could get us closer this year, but we still need to score TDs. Can't remember the last time we were blowing the other team away and I wasn't on the edge of my seat in the 4th quarter... Our largest margin of victory last year? The first game, by 6 points.

Don't get me wrong - I've loved our moves - good young players. Good showing so far in preseason, but it's simple - we definitely need to score touchdowns to win.
