The first-team D gave up essentially two FGs to a Ravens' offense with a lot of weapons. I'm throwing out that fake punt score...wasn't on the D...they had them in a punting situation...special teams failed us there.

Throw out the score...most of the scoring came after the first-teamers were off the field. Of course, Rex proved to be the same old Rex...nice performance LAST week...2 fumbles and an INT this week.

Yes we lost on the scoreboard but I wasn't disappointed in the game, I saw a lot of positives, especially on offense with the McNabb/Cooley/Armstrong hookups.


By the way, I thought there were supposed to me MORE offensive holds called now that they moved the mid-field ump to the backfield? They called absolutely NOTHING on the Ravens...and also botched that fumble call that gave them another FG. The runner was fighting for yards...forward progress was NOT stopped. Even Coach Shanahan was steamed at that missed call.

I agree with all the points in your post. I can't understand why there is so much negative talk after the last game. Personally, I saw a ton of positive things in the game. We have to remember the skins have a new defense, new offense, new QB and 3 new Offensive lineman etc......... 2 months with all of these changes so I think the Skins are making tremendous progress.
