Lets go ravens, lets go redskins!
Alright, locals, lets see some love for the teams. We need the Ravens to step up and the Redskins to not s the bed if we want some real playoff representation.
Anybody repping their team's logo on their e90s? Pics are welcome. Best of luck today! |

Mark my words, Redskins will only be a disappointment. Because the biggest the disappointment is went to get fans all revved to just let them down. It's in their history and it's their habit...it's hard to break out of habits. Last edited by BrazilianBimmer; 01-06-2013 at 06:56 PM.. |

I'm not a huge football fan, but I like seeing the town get revved up over things (I.e. the Caps...in previous years). To the same end as your comment, perhaps the skins will make it to the Super Bowl only to give everyone the ULTIMATE let-down. Nothing is more insulting than second place. Highly unlikely, but it could happen |

Ravens got it done.
Now for the Skins...in the words of Winnie the Pooh (I have a little one), "Oh, bother..." |

I'm not even a big football fan, after all I'm brazilian my thing is soccer. But I don't understand how the f people around here always get revved up about a little win and how can a team expect to go to the Superbowl depending on a good receiver (Morris) and a quarterback (RG3). You could see the big difference as soon as his knee went out on the 1st quarter. |

They should have switched to Cousins a lot earlier. RG3 wasn't doing anything well after the setback.

Yup. There goes that one. It's certainly a better season than the redskins have had in a good number of years. Hopefully the ravens keep it going so we get some local representation.
I don't follow football or baseball, but if you asked me what I'm teams I'm a fan of, I'd say redskins and Os just because its what I grew up on. It's just nice to see the town get revved up about anything but lack of bipartisanship on rare occasions. You're right about cousins...not even necessarily to affect the outcome, but just to protect a valuable asset. They are going to kill that kid before he really has the chance to do something great for them. |

What I don't get is this: how the f does a team that has a ton of players with million dollar contracts be such a sorry as team!?
It's not like Superbowl is played every year...oh wait it is! And you haven't been to the playoffs for years!? Why can't they just fire Shanahan or whatever his name is bc whatever his motivation speech is he is giving them players, ain't working. I think of this the same way I think of US men's soccer, they go to a world cup and advance to a stage which they've never been to before, they get people excited about it then they lose! |

The difference between that and US mens soccer is that the vast majority of people in the States couldn't care less about mens soccer until they hear that they made it to some high level they haven't before (unfortunately), but there are a good number of die-hard football fans watching their teams every Sunday (for better or for worse). I don't know about NEVER let down, but I'll give you almost never. That City victory (last year was it?) really lit a fire under some united fans. Overall, though, those are some rockin teams. |

Typical American way of toughing it out with one hopping QB, no long-term strategy. Thought football was a team sport, yet they put a crippled QB on the field to drag the whole team down. Defense did its share to not letting go at 1 yard line yet offense still remained anemic. Amazingly stubborn and stupid.

I wouldn't try to rationalize with someone that doesn't understand football. He thinks they would make the Super Bowl every year and taking 3 years to be successful is too long. |

I can sure as hell say that if i were in his spot. I would be playing till i couldnt walk or i was drug off the field. Arenaline is a powerful thing(im addicited...) and you would be amazed at what is possible when it starts flowing. Your talking about a kid who has been looking forward to playing pro sports probibly his whole life. Gets a chance his first year and is in the playoffs. you bet your ass hes gonna do whatever he can. Dreams coming true for that kid. Im not a redskins fan but atleast it was a winning season vs a losing season like in the past. im glad my friends and co workers had a glimmer of hope for a little while. ESP with the whole NHL things going on there wouldnt have been any entertainment had they played like previous seasons. |

Congrats on getting your NHL back just in the nick of time. They sure did cut it close to that Jan 11 cutoff!

When RG3 could barely walk, that should have been the sign for the coaches to put in Cousins. We all saw how ineffective he became on offense after tweaking his knee, and their read option plays became completely ineffective since the hawks knew he couldn't run. As a pro, of course he's going to want to play through it all. It's the Coach's job to make the final call, based on what's best for the team and player. It was a terrible move leaving him in as long as they did. Sure it was a good season, but the damage to the face of the franchise might have already been done. Much respect to RG3, but Shanny is truly an awful decision maker as evident by last night's events.

Right after RG3 fell and hurt his knee he made another run play where he ran to the side line and was limping! isn't that enough to pull the trigger and make the decision? |
