Figures, I turn it on and they fizzle out. Graham missed an absolute chip shot.

Yea im sorry but dam man, you are a kicker, thats all you do. It not like it was a 50 plus yder, that was chip in. I think he is done.

He used to be a great kicker too, i think its all in his head.

I've grown to despise most Redskin fans. Last year after the preseason game between the Ravens and Skins, I literally had kids telling me that the Redskins were better than us because their starters outplayed our starters (Despite the fact our 1's outscored/played them) and that we wouldn't make the playoffs, and they had a great shot at the Super Bowl.

As some one who likes the Redskins, they were my team growing up, they are the pre-season champs every year and they tend to goo 4-0, 3-1 in the pre-season then spectacularly flame out by October every year. Its what they do lol I think last year they played their 1's against our 3's. The thing that really got them was a few years ago they had this Fiercest Mascot competition and somehow Poe beat out their Chief Z--man that was ugly and hilarious at the same time--their online fans have not been the same since

Thank goodness we chose Cundiff. Graham has some mental issues, without a doubt. If he didn't a couple years ago, he does now.

I can see how that could damage fan morale. How unfortunate!

And to think I wanted Graham back during the battle. Glad I was wrong about that one.

[Moderator 2]

I always wanted Billy.

Well, let's face it, the Ravens history of drafting receivers leaves much to be desired.

I've seen skill players around the league wearing single digits. I think the league waives the rule for pre-season games due to expanded rosters.

Hello??? It's preseason!

Tomlin didnt like the performance or the prep. Judging from his presser.

Nope. But he probably wouldn't have if we won 35-0 either (in pre-season). And I'm glad for that. Tomlin is/does and will light some fires under some butts.

In all seriousness, how can you like the Skins after what Jack Kent Cooke did trying to stop NFL in Baltimore?

Makes me hate the whole team

Redskins fans hate us because of our great organization and success year in and out

Because we are talking 70's early 80's--I had an AFC team and a NFC time--what can I say I was a little kid. A lot of that was before the Baltimore Colts move and honestly in 1984 I was in my last year of nursing school, 18 credit hours a semester, and working and not aware of anything else There was no ESPN, NFLN and the only news was in papers and SI, and after reading 100-200 pages a day for school I was not reading a paper, except maybe the comics lol
I only knew the basics of the move until Baltimore lost out on the expansion. I am not sure how the under 30 set realizes how much the internet, cable and electronic communication have changed the way we get information, which is a subject for another time.

A lot of the Redskin fans think we are jealous of the when I think they are envious of us

Believe me, most of us know that. Seems like every year we have to go through the same thing with fans trying to draw something from preseason games. Lions are 11-2 in the preseason over the last four seasons, enough said.

Sorry, that just reminded me of this. I'm sure if these teams had met in September or October, the end result would be much different. I don't mind seeing the Steelers ruffled every once in a while, though.

Exactly! No Ota's, limited training camp--football as we love it will not be here until October. I just hope no one gets hurt.

He didn't really get beat, that was Carr's fault. Reed wasn't supposed to be one on one with a guy who has about half a foot on him. Vick threw the ball nice and high...he's really accurate and so fast with his reads (I would love Flacco to make his reads that fast).

Dude, with Ed Reed's reputation and his responsibility as a safety, when a man catches a ball behind Ed, Ed just got beat. haha. Hey, it happens.

K...well even the best safety in the NFL relies on others to do their job. He wasn't ready to cover one on one, if he had known that was going to happen he would have positioned himself differently. I don't see things in black and white.

Now, in the Texans game last season, Ed Reed did get beat deep by Andre Johnson at the end of the first half. He's not infallible.

Neither do I. Andre Johnson can probably beat every DB in the league.
