Skins O was able to move the ball when needed but the story of the game was the Giants shooting themselves in the foot time after time. Eli with some uncharacteristic over throws to open WRs and penalty after penalty, not to mention the missed Fg. Giants loss that game more than the Redskins won it.

I'm shocked that the Giants defensive line got virtually no pressure all game. I think they flushed RG3 out of the pocket like twice

They seemed too concerned with stopping the option than getting pressure on the ends.

 

[BigBucs]

Too much overthinking instead of reading and reacting.

They lost.....whats the difference.

and they couldnt stop Redskin running game in 2nd half when they needed to.

Redskins > Giants

Think you all have said it so much you are starting to believe it. Was good times when you swept em last season and they went on to hoist, no? You were better then, you are better now.

Cedric Griffin suspended for four games for PEDs, so I'm guessing it's Adderal. Deangelo Hall is also on crutches for his ankle, but is expected to play against Baltimore. Great news going into that game.........if it wasn't going to be a shootout before, it probably will be now.

i dont know if want a shootout.....i think we should try our Pistol Formation and see if they can stop it.
just grind it out, chew up clock and wear them down. you would think they would run until somebody does stop it at this point.

its just beautiful to watch an NFL team running it, lol.

Ravens are one of the worst run defenses this year, so I am sure that could happen, but I think that the Ravens are going to be able to take to the air against our secondary, forcing us to pass. They are also down defensive backs as well, so who knows what will happen. I do think we have a pretty good shot at winning the game though.

I'm going to be there this Sunday as well

My cousin and I were having a discussion about the difference between the fan bases for the Redskins and Ravens and we both agreed that all the white trash in Maryland cheers for the Ravens and all of the thugs cheer for the Redskins.

Not to mention, most Ravens fans care more about what the Redskins and Steelers do than what their own team does.

Is there really seats lined up behind pillars at the Redskins stadium? LOL...

I got a feeling the Ravens either win this game close or lose it. We won't be blowing anyone out till Cam Cameron takes his thumb out of his ass and stops being a stubborn jackass and runs Ray Rice 20 times a game.

Since Ray Lewis was injured our defense has been stellar against the run (... oddly enough), our pass D is mediocre. But our Redzone D is what wins us games and if we can keep the Redskins settling for field goals we can take this game.

RGIII and your guys offense doesn't scare the me. Joe Failco scares me and sometimes he'll do about anything to lose a game. Occasionally he shows flashes of brilliance and I can only hope that this will be one of those occasions.

 

[ralaw]

For the Ravens this all depends on Flacco. If Flacco plays well the Ravens will win.

Yes.....the famous "obstructed view" seats. Never sat there, but apparently they have TVs there and sound pumped in, but you are essentially watching it on the same delay as people at home. You're paying just to be there.

Snyder 'gon Snyder :lol:

I don't get it. Why not build the party deck in the lower deck where you have obstructed view seating?

Because they charge more for the obstructed view seats than they do for the upper deck end zones because they are much closer to the field. I have sat in those seats and they are not terrible, but it's like watching a game from 30' inside the mouth of a cave.

Many of the seats are actually behind columns too. I guess some of them would be good for late season games, so you'd be out of the wind and rain, but I'd rather watch a game at home than sit there again.

This is my son's photo from our seats at FedEx Field for yesterday's Panthers at Redskins game.

It's actually worse than it looks.

The tickets -- Section 213, Row 22 -- were advertised as "obstructed view." I've had "obstructed view" seats in other venues. Last year, we sat in the leftfield bleachers at (new) Yankee Stadium and couldn't see the leftfield corner. This summer we sat in the rightfield upper deck at Nationals Park in Washington and couldn't see the rightfield corner. Not a big deal.

When you say "obstructed view," you assume you'll get a slightly obstructed view, not a substantially obstructed view.

Here, we couldn't see either endzone. We couldn't see a scoreboard. We had TV monitors, which were small and not very close. One showed the time, down and yards but it was defective with a constantly flipping, fuzzy picture. One showed live game action, but it was too small and distant to really make out what was happening. The closest monitor showed the Fox game broadcast, which was on a delay of about 10 seconds.

We could not hear the Public Address system. Penalties, timeouts, other game info? No clue. We couldn't hear the National Anthem being sung.

Beyond all that, it was really cold back in our cave. Not only is there no sunshine in this location, but the back of this section is open and works like a wind tunnel. Although it was about 50 degrees at game time, it felt much colder to us with a brisk wind constantly blowing into our backs.

Needless to say, we were shocked at the poor fan experience provided in these seats. We were appalled that such poor seating would be built into a major league sports venue in the first place and disgusted that such seating would be sold. I honestly didn't even get the feeling of being inside the stadium at all. It was like visiting someone's home and being ushered into the unheated garage. People in these seats were disproportionately visiting Panthers fans, so I guess we were all foolish enough to let ourselves be taken advantage of like this. Well, fool us once ...

The one and only bright spot? The 'Skins lost! May that long continue.

Yeah, the obstructed views seats are bogus, especially since they cost more than seats in the upper deck. I much rather have my seats back in 454, where we sat right on the 50 and had a big screen view of the game than go under to the obstructed ones.

I may have an extra ticket for Sunday

Oh, very tempting, but I've been to Redskins/Ravens regular season games before, and you couldn't pay me to go back. Even less enjoyable than a home game against Dallas and Philly.
