Official Game Thread - Preseason Week 3 - Commanders @ Ravens

[skinsinparadise]

People will say it doesn’t matter (and technically it doesn’t).

But…no pride. These men arrived beaten and in their own heads about that joint practice. We’ve seen it before. We really think that doesn’t carry over to some degree? Doesn’t introduce cracks in the locker room’s belief in their coaching?

It feels kind of fitting for the Ravens trying to shove it in their face by going for one more score before the half. It's sort of a statement of we kicked your asses in practice and that's no fluke we will kick you ass now, too.

 

[Skintime]

I agree.

Though I think after they cut down the attitude can change a bit.

But after opening up pretty good for camp overall, they’ve just completely lost their mojo and now just look like they’re going through the motion.

Looks just like last preseason

 

[skinsinparadise]

The good news is we can get whomever we want to the practice squad with no claims

 

[Faithful Fan]

Ravens had a good two minute drill to end the half after forcing another 3 and out, but they missed a second field goal. Half ends at 24-0, but could have been 30-0 if not for the missed kicks.

That's what worries me. 2 bad preseason games in a row, getting their ass kicked in a joint practice. lol, Nicki again negative about how the season is going to go. Feels deja vu.

But do we want any of them?

If this last preseason game teaches us anything it's that it's a lot easier to catch a ball if you don't cover the receiver.

Maybe Tyler Owens played well? Other than that, I don't know I saw anyone who made a statement to convince the coaches to keep him.

 

[skinsinparadise]

Just got in from practice. I’ve watched a few plays. It’s ugly out there.

How’d the first unit look?

The first unit rested. You might have missed it but their first offense was on fire against Detroit. Might as well leave on a high and rest on that note and leave us wanting more

You notice how none of the players are near DQ? Don't remember that before

 

[burgold]

Luke!

Obi Wan! You needed to teach the kid how to use the force better. Where the hell's Yoda when you need him.

One really nice catch though.

 

[sLiNky]

we could probably replace all of our 2nd and 3rd stringers (and even our practice squad guys) with guys who get cut this week. Heck, maybe even a few starters can be replaced but cut guys.

It's wild how the momentum of camp shifted that fast.

Dolphins, likely worst team in the NFL, built their confidence. Then the Giants dominated Miami even more. Then you keep hearing about how the O line and running game sucked in practice. Then the offense looked like crap against the Lions. Then Quinn said the team looked to be in disarray in Detriot. He adds another practice. They get their ass kicked by Baltimore. Then they get their ass kicked tonight. And lol for good measure we got some obnoxious national media types saying this might be the worst team in the NFL or one of the worst.

 

[Commander PK]

Lifeless, listless, unacceptable performance as London is saying on the broadcast. Bram weighs in especially after their performance against Baltimore in the joint practice

I feel for every Commanders fan who is in that stadium and paid money to see this mess.

Embarrassing

 

[Chris_Hanbuger_the Hangman]

Gruden, Rivera,DQ all SOFT and uninspiring.....players playing flat with NO FIRE at all. Sick of this crap...

London is fun to listen to through this. He's often a homer. But tonight its not lost on him how this looks in combination of what he saw in the joint practice.

So London is at least cathartic.

 

[Ashburn Dave]

24-0 at halftime. WTF?!?

 

[CuredFromBatteredFanSyndrome]

Is it not a little alarming that even the bottom end of the roster appears inept?

Yeah especially when we keep hearing about how much better the depth is supposed to be. I recall last year watching them get their asses kicked in the preseason and my wife goes aren't you concerned? And my response was yeah only if they have a lot of injuries -- if they do, clearly their bench isn't going to save them.

I am surprised feeling the same way two summers in a row.

Hartman about to throw some INT’s if they let him throw.
