[quote=punch it in;1150867]We are one of the hottest offenses in the league over the last couple weeks. This team is the same caliber as both the Browns, Giants. No way in hell we score 7 points. That is overly cautious even for you. Lol[/quote]

28-24 us

Baltimore: 34

Redskins: 7

Any of you guys going to the game ?

Both quarterbacks will throw picks.

Re: Skins vs Ravens prediction thread
 

cousins needs to get the ball down field...last week he only had 2 completions that went more than 10 yards through the air against a relatively weak secondary.

Check downing and dink and dunk...any QB can do that. But franchise ones get the ball down field to their playmakers.

Worth noting we had 70 yards in PI calls, that counts for something.

I feel like we gear up our protection calls for 4-5 long bombs a game. We have a pretty good line, but it's not Dallas'. It's like we'll do max protect and then send Jackson on a go route. Don't think we have the line to hold up for a long of different routes.

That is part of our offense. If you are accurate and quick you can cause nightmares for opposing defenses by "dinking and dunking". Who gives a crap how we are doing it as long as we are putting a 30 spot up?

Edit: he is sixth in total yards right now, and over the last couple weeks he might be first - or pretty damn close....

Because it can cost you games like the Dallas loss...he missed what, 3 throws down field for TDs?

This is a bad way of thinking...being able to consistently push the ball downfield...ie both medium range (10-25) and long range (25+ through the air) are vital to keeping defenses honest and off balance. Specifically for the passing game you get your Corners to play soft off the WRs, you get safety play back in 2 deep zones, and you get the underneath stuff to open up and be more effective. And specifically for the running game, the secondary plays back so that second level support takes longer to get there.

Franchise QB who can be accurate in medium and deep throws take offenses to the next level.

Yet a short throw into the endzone is what really cost us. Kirk hits there and we win - without the deep ball. We are 3-1 without the deep ball being prevalent. Of course I want to see him hitting long short medium - etc. as far as stretching the field DJax is going to do that anyway.
I think our running game has been fairly effective last couple weeks without the deep ball. Its all about moving the chains. Bottom line. Kirk will connect on the deep ball plenty over the course of this season. Like Matty pointed out there were to PI calls on deep balls. That is as good as a catch. Cousins is just absolutely not the problem right now. Nor is the offense. We need Preston Smith, Kerrigan, Murphy to get some serious heat on opposing qb's. if we can muster that we can win plenty of games with our current offense doing exactly what it is doing.

Re: Skins vs Ravens prediction thread
 

Basically f&$k Baltimore and all the talking heads right now. We have played a tougher schedule than them to this point. In the only common opponent game we were more impressive. So sick of people acting like the Ravens are world beaters. Ray Lewis is looooong gone. Their defense is shit. Their offense is shit. This will be our easiest win to date.
