It took a trick type play for the Skins to get their only TD last week and I just dont believe that the Ravens will let that happen. The Skins just dont score points (on O, D, or not-so-special teams) and that makes it hard to win.

I understand where we may score very few points. but what I don't get is why the Ravens would score more than 20 when our D has shown the ability to hold most every team to below 20. (i know a few have, but the Ravens arent in that caliber yet)

You are correct, the Skins D gives up 18.5 points per game. Unfortunately the Raves D gives up 15.8 points per game.

The Skins O scores 17.3 points per game and the Ravens get 24.3.

No matter how you cut it the numbers dont add up for the Skins.

Why is it that you only appear to dump on the team? I have no problem with fair criticism, in fact I encourage it. But, to do nothing but attack the team gets so old. Do you talk like this about everyone and everything you love?

Its really, really hard to argue with this logic and the facts of the assessment. Sadly, I agree with you.

The offense continues to struggle against another good 3-4 D, but our D bails us out with a score.

Redskins 17
Ravens 16
