**Johnathan** I will admit it was fun, but I’m not having good feelings about the 'Skins this year. I am down for a six win season. I would enjoy it while you can.

If they’re 7-9 or worse, they’ll have a new coach next year. Hm, let’s see. They have very good WRs but a green QB and an inefficient OL to protect him. And their backup QBs aren’t very good, either. Could be a long season. 🙂

As my friend told me the other day, these games are “funsies”. It’s nice to talk some smack, but remember that they simply don’t count.

The real smack-talking will commence shortly. Expect my debut NFL thread in short order. 🙂

It’s all fun and games until someone hurts his hand, like Ramsey did. Or gets otherwise hurted, like Pennington (Washington’s first opposing QB) and Vick (who would have been their second).

I’m not. Who the heck do you think this shaggy joke of a thread is aimed at: Mr Charm City himself.

Don’t think I won’t bump this in the morning.  
The Redskins just put up 2-4  
While the Ravens with three looked just poor  
Now Jon Chance laughed at Dave  
While Dave tried to stay brave  
While the Ravens they fell through the floor

Hee Hee Hee

I’m so glad he knows where to target his feelings. I won’t get it by proxy.

**Jonathan** , you are evil. I like you. But pre-season is still pre-season. And while I don’t see the Ravens going ANYWHERE, it appeared the 'Skins still have some weeding to do, also…

</div>

So, you’re gloating because Baltimore, who has 3 legitimate QBs, decided to start a rookie in a preseason game, against their weakest preseason opponent, in order to give him a baptism by fire, and the 'Skins first team took advantage of that? I suppose I’m not suprised, knowing that Washington fans aren’t going to have much to cheer about once the season starts, you’ve got to get your licks in where you can. The Ravens will still be playing in January, however, while your guys are playing golf, so enjoy for now. When the Jets show up in Raljohn, you’ll be singing a different tune. NY, Atlanta, NY part II, New England and Philly, man, you guys could easily be 0-5 by October. You might have a shot against the Falcons, but only because we went and knocked Vick out for you. With Vick in, you wouldn’t have a prayer.

Um, well, that window for smack talk just went down the shitter. Nevermind. 🙂

Ravens fan checking in.

While that game wasn’t exactly what Baltimore wanted, i’m not too worried yet about the season ahead. As **Weirddave** said, it was a rather experimental offensive line-up, trying out plays and combinations. I did think that their defense looked a little too flustered at times, however.

More importantly, however, if you think that the result of that game is any indication of the season that Washington has in store, i suggest you remove the rose-colored glasses post-haste.

I think Ray Lewis, tho’ he made some mental mistakes last night, will calm the defense down once the real games start.

McAlister could be a problem because he refuses to grow up.

Ravens 10-6 for the year.

Redskins will be lucky to win 6 with Spurrier and Synder running the team. IMHO.

Start September 8th. It’ll be interesting to see how you boudmouth us right after we’ve whipped the Stillers in the opening game.
