[KLHJ2]

I kinda expected this to happen. No worries here.

Btw. Buchanon looked horrible tonight. That isn't going to cut it.

Can anyone confirm moore

i actually thought our preformance wasnt as bad as the ending score with regards to the first team. I thought our first team D played pretty damn well. Offense was shaky...but sh*t it been shaky for the last ten years. I thought Armstrong and Moss played eceptionally well.

Exactly. McNabb took a beating from the Ravens D and still managed over 200 yards in a HALF...would have had many more if not for so many drops by Thomas, Moss, Cooley and especially Fred Davis dropping an easy TD pass. LJ looked like a steaming pile but Portis looked great on a couple of carries, so I don't think we should worry about he O-line, just Johnson. The first-team D gave up essentially two FGs to a Ravens' offense with a lot of weapons. I'm throwing out that fake punt score...wasn't on the D...they had them in a punting situation...special teams failed us there.

Throw out the score...most of the scoring came after the first-teamers were off the field. Of course, Rex proved to be the same old Rex...nice performance LAST week...2 fumbles and an INT this week.

Yes we lost on the scoreboard but I wasn't disappointed in the game, I saw a lot of positives, especially on offense with the McNabb/Cooley/Armstrong hookups.


By the way, I thought there were supposed to me MORE offensive holds called now that they moved the mid-field ump to the backfield? They called absolutely NOTHING on the Ravens...and also botched that fumble call that gave them another FG. The runner was fighting for yards...forward progress was NOT stopped. Even Coach Shanahan was steamed at that missed call.

I agree with all the points in your post. I can't understand why there is so much negative talk after the last game. Personally, I saw a ton of positive things in the game. We have to remember the skins have a new defense, new offense, new QB and 3 new Offensive lineman etc......... 2 months with all of these changes so I think the Skins are making tremendous progress.

And I don't want to hear that the starters had no pass rush. Orakpo would have had at least 3 sacks but the Ravens held and weren't called.

I haven't seen a game that poorly officiated in a while. They couldn't get anything right, and that call where they said the play was over because of forward progress was just as bad or worse than the call by Hochuli. sp

Hey, Ed Hoculi is a great official. Everone remembers the one terrible call but he is outstanding as an official. What if we were to hold players to the same standard?

You missed my point almost as badly as Oher's holds but I won't argue how good of an official he is.

Ha ha ha. They have this tape to base their call off of!

[mredskins]
