Me too. They are saying the teams are equal but we give 3 at home. Interesting. Ravens can be run on. Their O is better but still not great. |
Their O is better at what? Then what?
Our run D is stout... And flacco sux... I like our match up actually. |

| I think it is a good matchup for us. We are good against the run and their passing game isn't as good as others we have faced. Their D, esp if Suggs is out, can be had. We need to play well, but it can be done. |

Not such a long road, though. Expect many Ravens fans at the game. |

+1. Flacco is up and down. Their offense is Ray Rice. We've been good against the run, but will need to stop him on those short passes and screens also. |

Even though Baltimore is the City that Reads, I'm not sure Raven's fans know how to read a map, follow GPS or decipher a train schedule. |

Exactly. The Colts also tanked games last year (to ensure the first overall pick) by purposely fielding a crappy lineup and by allowing Caldwell to continue coaching despite the obvious fact that he had lost the team. I would be surprised if they even gameplanned the second half of the season.
This means that their "remarkable turnaround" this year is mostly smoke and mirrors as well. |

I understand Griffin is a mobile guy and puts himself at risk sometimes when he scrambles. He's also not the biggest QB out there. But has he really been hit that much more or that much worse than any other QB in the league?
I'll just finish my question with this. RGIII is 6'2" 217 and has been sacked 25 times this season. Three more times than 6'0 209 lbs Drew Brees. 14 times less than 6'2" 225 lbs Aaron Rodgers. So why all the hyperventilating over Griffin? |
NO WORRIES riggofan - the media loves to create things and hype stuff ...
I'm not worried about the hits - this kid is evolving, AND the offense is evolving
here's a piece from Steve Young
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000107068/article/steve-young-robert-griffin-iii-must-throw-from-pocket
I really think that we're going to see Kyle and RG3 continue to adapt the pistol offense BUT at the same time I believe they are constantly adding and tweaking the plays - RG3 is not going to be 'put at risk' here - these guys (Mike & Kyle & RG3) are setting the table and where going to be feasting for a long, long time |

It seems to me that RG3 has been passing from the pocket a lot more in the last 3 wins, including several TDs from the pocket. People see what they want to see when they want to have things to complain about. Case in point: The Giants Board post-Skins game. |

Raven's are an enigma. Great record, but both their offense and defense are ranked in the lower half of the league. They could be a paper tiger, surviving on breaks and poor opponents. Maybe they have done it with mirrors. Ray is out, Reed is having a poor tackling year and is not what he used to be. We could win this one with less difficulty than expected-- here's hoping. My heart could use a breather. One of these days, RG3 is going to hit about twenty passes in a row, Alfred will run for 200, and the D is going to look good. Can't wait. |

The Philly and Dallas games weren't enough of one?  |

I'll agree to an extent CH1 - the Ravens of the last 3 weeks are not as much of a worry ..
The Ravens do have a very good coach and Boldin and Rice are top quality offensive players
I think we should win this game but it will require a very good game by the Redskins and some mistakes by the Ravens
the Redskins in the last 3 games basically dictated and refused to lose - IF we play with that same intensity - WE WIN
the ravens have not played well recently but they are a solid team and they are well coached |

SJ, you almost sound pro-Kyle there!! 
I agree with what you wrote and the above comment about RGIII passing from the pocket more lately. I think we have to admit that a big reason we have all of these runs, designed and not, is that our offensive line still isn't that good. RGIII in the pistol formation keeps defenses on their heels and takes a lot of the pressure off our o-line. It kind of is what it is. I suspect the line would look a lot different with Jason Campbell standing back there like a statue.
Man, just think about this offense in the years ahead. Fred Davis back healthy. Garcon at 100%. An upgrade at RT. How about Roy Helu back to add a little change of pace to Alfred Morris? This is just the beginning, friends... |

I'm looking forward to the RG3 offense ... even with Kyle  |
