Redskins vs. Ravens pre-game thread

[charlielyons]

I think we lose this one 17-6. Too much defense for the offense to handle.

[SmootSmack]

I think it will be a really close game that could come down to overtime, after that...who knows

[MTK]

I think there are plenty of realistic predictions each week. Sure there are some homer predictions, just as there are some doom and gloom ones as well. Guess it depends on what side you lean to more as to which ones you focus in on.

[BrunellMVP?]

In their last 7 games, the Ravens have scored (34, 36, 10 - giants, 41, 37, 29 and 27)...Flacco may be a rookie, but he's putting points on the board. Even if we hold the raven's to 14, why are were going to score 15?

[53Fan]

Mostly turnovers and fieldgoals. Redskins-16 Ravens-9

I'm not sure if I was reading it correctly or not. but everyone is jumping on Riggo's message like flies to a cow patty....any thought that he was simply being sarcasticaly funny and some are taking offense to it like a lead balloon?

[SBXVII]

Also I'm seeing about half the people are predicting a Skins win and half are not. All are putting their two cents in even if it's simply to say "Don't know the reason just a feeling" (which I did last week by the way) and now we have people singling each other out saying ...."Don't be negative and if you are you have to come up with a decent explination as to why you feel the Skins will lose?"

I must have missed the one where Irish singled someone out when he made his statement about the teams trick play but now we are jumping on a fellow board member and Riggo for either defending him or simply trying to be sarcastically funny?

I guess the losing funk is getting to everyone. Now we have to win. Geez.

SB:

Speaking for myself, I do not take issue with predicting a Redskins loss, praising opponents or criticizing the Redskins. Check these prediction threads and I think you will find that, more often than not, I actually predict that the Redskins will lose. And, if you like, I can send you links to posts in which I have defended people after they get blasted for predicting Redskins losses.

All that being said, I do not really have the stomach to tolerate people who appear to go into hibernation when the Redskins are doing well, come out of the woodwork when the Redskins are doing poorly, and generally write "negative post" after "negative post." What is, perhaps, even more aggravating is the attitude that those posters have towards other fans (i.e., "You are all blind and sheepish homers who don't see the truth like I do") and how they seem to enjoy blasting the Redskins players, coaches and front office.

Although I am a mod, I am a person with opinions. I have never tried to censor guys like irish from speaking their minds, but I don't check my feelings at the door. Moreover, I personally feel it is fair game to sharply disagree with disagreeable people. There's a fine line between "sharp disagreements" and "personal attacks" (the former are okay and the latter are not) and I hope that I haven't crossed that line. If I have, I apologize to all.

No mod has ever tried to stop me from making any positive or negative comments which says a lot for the mods.

That's what great about this site, even though I can't stand your opinion but I am glad to hear it.

The only thing that annoys me about your posts Irish, is that you seem to be on a posting frenzy when things are going bad, yet during our streak I didn't see too much of your praise.

[GTripp0012]

Ravens 29, Redskins 16

[Dblock804]

Redskins 13
Ravens 10
Going to be hard hitting and lots of punts.

skins lose 17-10.

Their D is good and they have a pretty good young QB. I always wondered what Baltimore would have if they got a decent QB.... it seems as if they have one in the making.

I'm not totally pessimistic, though. I think we'll win out and still make the playoffs, but we'll have to put up a better showing offensively to continue whether we make them of not...
