Why so bothered? People are acting like their beat our ass... No way. Our starters truly owned them.

True enough, but I keep reading how the Ravens "beat us on both sides of the ball". Maybe they beat our second and third string, but overall I was happy with the starters effort. Basically all I learned from this game was that our starters on both offense and defense are going to be fine and that I'm hoping we don't have to put in more than 3 backup offensive linemen at a time.

The Ravens also totally acted like they had an actual game-plan.

To think that we would go into any game preseason or regular without a gameplan is probably not true...ravens starters vs. our starters was pretty equal minus the fake punt that set up their TD. I didn't watch the game...but i'm not too worried about us really. Just a pre-season game. Now had their starters wiped the floor with us..i'd be worried...but they didn't

also don't forget we played the bills last week...and the bills are not on the level the ravens are. just how the bills aren't on our level..they just play in an easier division..hence how they had more wins last season.

Exactly, but talking about the Ravens and Redskins game plan-wise, it couldn't be more obvious they did some more exotic looks than we did. Even so, I wouldn't even say our starters and their starters were equal, I think we actually took that shit right to their dome.

The Colts went 1-3 in preseason last year and lost to the lowly Bills this week.

Preseason 2009
Arizona 0-4
Seattle Seahawks 4-0
St. Louis Rams 3-1

Regular Season 2009
Arizona 10-6
Seattle Seahawks 5-11
St. Louis Rams - 1-15

Miami Dolphins 4-0 Preseason, 7-9 Regular Season
San Diego Chargers 2-2 Preseason - 13-3 Regular Season.
Bengals 2-2 Preseason, last in division
Bengals 10-6 Regular Season, Division Champs

Every NFC North Team 3-1
Every NFC East Team Except Dallas (2-2) went 1-3

Preseason means nothing.

If the glove does not fit, you must acquit.

Seriously though, I'm not saying that we dominated, but people are acting like we got owned. We got owned score-wise, but really the only thing I learned is that, like you said, we have bad depth and that our first team O and D are going to be pretty good.
