Yupp

Re: Redskins-Ravens: Gameday Thread
 

BTW, we just saw a good Redskins 2-minute offense there finish with a TD.

Re: Redskins-Ravens: Gameday Thread
 

Wow, talk about a toilet sh*t bowl there: Bengals vs. Panthers.

Re: Redskins-Ravens: Gameday Thread
 

What are the scores, is it 20-14. Was there no extra point kicked?

Edit: Nevermind. Its 21 now, a full minute later on CBS. Internet connection - atrocious.

Re: Redskins-Ravens: Gameday Thread
 

grossman is playing well

[quote=rbanerjee23;827193]so who's the qb? maybe we can do this all year..just alternate them in and out every two series, Shanahan is on to something[/quote]

That's it! Redskins are the first team to consistently use the two QB system, just like the two RB systems many NFL teams have now. Super Bowl!!!!

[QUOTE=Mattyk;827200]Skins passed the big test tonight[/QUOTE]

A few penalties here and there ravens are held to 7 or 10.

Re: Redskins-Ravens: Gameday Thread
 

Cautiously optimistic after watching this team, especially tonight. Still we have a long season with a lot of challenges.

Re: Redskins-Ravens: Gameday Thread
 

Beck really hasn't had a chance. He will get his last chance I assume starting the 2nd half.
Grossman looked like Grossman to me. Panicked under pressure, but made good throws from the pocket, but his athleticism is something to worry about. Doesn't move well at all.

Beck had to make that throw to Moss on 3rd down. That might of been the pass that lost him the starting job, because he didn't get to keep the drive alive, and allowed Grossman to come out and look good.

Re: Redskins-Ravens: Gameday Thread
 

Great half!
I'm jacked!

Re: Redskins-Ravens: Gameday Thread
 

[quote=Mattyk;827200]Skins passed the big test tonight[/quote]

Yup. Nice on both sides of the ball. A few mistakes, a few tough plays, but man, they just put up 21 on Baltimore in Baltimore. Hard not to be pleased!

WITH rex as our qb nonetheless

Re: Redskins-Ravens: Gameday Thread
 

Sexy Rexy is my man, sexy rexy yes he can!!!! You can't beat experience and demeanor on a football field. Grossman is a vet of the old black and blue division. He has been through those wars. Beck hasn't seen any "live" action.

Re: Redskins-Ravens: Gameday Thread
 

Rexy giveth, but the problem is Rexy has a tendency to taketh away. Good Rex lures you in, bad Rex breaks your heart.

But still, I feel pretty good with either, to be honest.

Re: Redskins-Ravens: Gameday Thread
 

The Redskins did a very good job against a playoff team. What frustrates the hell out of me is seeing those two stupid penalties that extended the drives. Although the DBs played terribly in those extended drives, you can't give freebies to good teams.

I do HOPE that this performance means that we will be able to beat lower quality teams. And I hope the defense fixes those issues (DBs lack of communication and the stupid penalties) so we can compete with the elite teams.

The last couple of years the Ravens have killed us in these games. Today wasn't the case when the starters were playing.

I saw it completely different...

Rex looked like he could stay in and get the ball out with pressure very well... Beck is the one who panicked in the pocket with just a little pressure (underthrew Moss by 5 yards)

Re: Redskins-Ravens: Gameday Thread
 

Versus a team who blitzes alot... Rex... everyone else... Becks... lol

Re: Redskins-Ravens: Gameday Thread
 

Beck's only had 3 pass attempts -- let's not be too quick to judge him

Re: Redskins-Ravens: Gameday Thread
 

has there been any word on jenkins?

Re: Redskins-Ravens: Gameday Thread
 

That quick slant that Beck threw into the ground when Moss was wide open makes me a bit nervous that he has scaredy feet.

That play has to be a firstdown!!!!! That was a nice simple play to make and he junked it.

Grossman stands strong in the pocket (sometimes a detriment) and delivers the ball.

2nd half should be all Beck, he needs to get more than 3 passes.

Re: Redskins-Ravens: Gameday Thread
 

Rex looked shaky early on too.

Re: Redskins-Ravens: Gameday Thread
 

[quote=rbanerjee23;827219]Beck's only had 3 pass attempts -- let's not be too quick to judge him[/quote]

True, but MS has to make a decision soon. And Rex took advantage of the opportunity he was given. If Beck is that good, then we have a good back up who could start if Rex doesn't pan out. But right now, I feel that Rex has done all he can to win the starting job.

Re: Redskins-Ravens: Gameday Thread
 

Good TEAM effort in the first half, keep it up SKINS. HTTR.

Re: Redskins-Ravens: Gameday Thread
 

[quote=rbanerjee23;827219]Beck's only had 3 pass attempts -- let's not be too quick to judge him[/quote]

I guess my basic point is... Rex has been in the fire (facing blitzes and pressure) over the past couple of years... Beck hasn't.

Feeling a little heat coming up the middle or around the corner... Rex should be more comfortable facing, whereas Beck could be a little/a lot more uncomfortable

Re: Redskins-Ravens: Gameday Thread
 

Definitely think no matter who starts they are going to be waaaayyyy better than McNabb. The more I hear about him the more it makes me sick.

Re: Redskins-Ravens: Gameday Thread

Knee sprain, MRI tomorrow

Re: Redskins-Ravens: Gameday Thread
 

I feel we have a solid team, but man we do need our guys back soon and to stay healthy. We made Flacco start to look like areal QB and not just a game manager. Kerrigan is a beast, and will outshine Orakpo soon. Was hoping to see more of Beck against the Ravens first D. He might do very well against the Ravens 2nd-3rd teamers, but that doesn't really do him any good in terms of QB evaluations for the starting jobs. Rex started slow, but came on strong. Experience does count for a lot.

Re: Redskins-Ravens: Gameday Thread
 

We were relatively penalty free in the first two preseason games but there have been too many so far tonight. We need to tighten that up.

Frankly, we're not good enough yet to overcome a lot of penalties.

Re: Redskins-Ravens: Gameday Thread
 

Our receivers look GOOD under year two of McCardell. A team strength. Ditto for the running backs.

I think the QBs will get exposed over the long regular season, but it's hard to overstate just how strong that position has been in the preseason. This is something I expected, but still.

Santana Moss is an awesome technician and precision route runner and we all love him...but not beating Terrell Suggs on a drag is a good example of how limited we're going to be with him as a starter.

Agreed. It was probably b/c we were running vanilla defensive plays against vanilla offensive plays during those preseason games. But yeah, we can't give freebies to good teams like the Ravens.

Re: Redskins-Ravens: Gameday Thread
 

Regardless of who's at QB, the running game should be sooooo much better that it will only help EVERYTHING.

And adding Gaffney (another solid, proven route runner similar to Moss) may prove to be one of the biggest moves of the offseason, besides Hightower.

I am EXCITED to see if we start to see that old Broncos running game here!!!

We are making a statement in pre-season.

I thought Moss had him beat with a better throw by Rex

Re: Redskins-Ravens: Gameday Thread
 

Now we will see Beck shred the Ravens' 2nd stringers. LOL.

Re: Redskins-Ravens: Gameday Thread
 

Beck will start the 2nd half. As expected.

Thought Rex started off a bit nonchalant. I think Beck's 34 (or whatever) pass to AA maybe lit a fire under Grossman. He should have been 6 for 6 on that last drive. That pass to Moss in the endzone that was ruled incomplete was perhaps the best pass he's thrown this preseason.
