Game Thread - Week 2 Preseason - Redskins

**The Excellector** · 08-25-2011, 06:55 PM

I know that someone else usually starts the game threads around here, but I figured that I would start it sense I did not see one up yet.

It is interesting that neither Washington nor Baltimore fans want to admit that this game is being taken seriously by anyone, but they can't stand each other. The players might not be taking it seriously though, I will admit.

The wet field makes me nervous.

If Mike Tirico isn't one of the most condescending color commentators in football....

Phew, ER, I'm glad you called this the "Battle of the Beltways" with an 's'...

**Flipping Birdie** · 08-25-2011, 07:01 PM

Thank you for the "S."

Gruden prepared for the game by saying "this guy is a football player" over and over for two hours.

Come on, he must have said, "I love this guy, Jaws!" at least occasionally, mixed in there somewhere.

Gotta love Jaws saying, "Starting two QBs in one game two series apart makes no freaking sense at all. But then again, it's Washington..."

The Washington QB battle is a joke. Whoever is less shitty than the other one wins.

Someone described it as, 'Who is the taller midget?'

Mike Shanahan always looks like he needs to take a massive dump.

**Sephy** · 08-25-2011, 07:07 PM

A little late over here. Thanks for starting the thread!

**StingerNLG** · 08-25-2011, 07:07 PM

Yeah, where is Sephy tonight?

I hate to tell you, but this is only taken seriously by the Ravens fans. Most Redskins fans I know don't care one bit about the Ravens. There are the exceptions like Kenskin.

I know I could not care any less about the Redskins.

Touchback #1.

**Dade** · 08-25-2011, 07:07 PM

Here's to no injuries and Flacco having a better game.

So far, not so good. What is it with these errant passes? He usually was very good throwing balls to Mason outside. Boldin was open outside, Joe throws it inside. He then misses the tackle downfield.

Maybe he's trying throws he normally doesn't make. Like you said if he throws it outside its money. Rather him take chances now than week 1. I dont blame him for not making a tackle.
