The 3rd game or when they play each other?

[NewMarketSean]

Should be interesting since Washington treats preseason like regular season.

3rd game... playing Washington really means nothing to me. I don't feel anything.

 

Can't see any future realignment ever pulling the Redskins out of the NFC East.... but the only way I could ever have any passion over Washington, was if they were in the same Division as Baltimore.

 

As a kid, I did not like the Redskins... but now I don't have those feelings.  If anything, I know enough Redskins fans like yourself that I wish them the best.

Yeah that's pretty much how I am with the Ravens. I hope they do well when it's not at my team's expense. I don't get the animosity between fans.

 

I don't know how much of our starters you guys will get though, he hasn't been playing like a traditional preseason, a little light on starter snaps. Maybe he goes to a half/3 quarters this week, but they've been playing just over a quarter so far.

They do?

[mweb08]

I'll be there.

[NewMarketSean]

Their fans do. Spurrier did. They talked trash last week like it was week 8.

You do realize that was over a decade ago?

It's okay.  The Redskins are low-hanging fruit.   Like the O's were for 14 years.

You talking about ticket prices? 

[Markus]

Looks like Ravens ticket prices for this weeks preseason game and Week 1 against the Bengals are the same.

Oh, gotcha. Yeah, some fans do. But I think that's legitimately for every single fanbase.

Glad people haven't forgotten what Spurrier did...twelve years ago

I guess I should feel thankful I was able to sell both my preseason tickets for the price of one.

 

What a waste preseason is. In every sense of the word.

 

At the very least, season ticket and PSL holders should get some kind of break or incentive. We're the ones paying full price for fake games while non-PSL holders get to buy tickets from Stubhub for half the price of the ticket.

 

Check that...tickets for Saturday are going for $70-75 on Stubhub. Wow.

Don't think you'll find anybody arguing with you over that.

[mweb08]

Maybe I should sell my tickets.

[JordanKough]

You'd think that the NFL would do more of the Balt/Was preseason stuff.  Makes way more sense for selling tickets.  Esp since the teams don't face off that often.  I forgot though, the NFL doesn't actually give a shit about their fans, how much they pay, or what they think of the experience.

Cuz football rulez 4ever.  F Goddell...I wish I could blame preseason ticket prices on him too.

Would anyone on planet Earth other than the owners care if they reduced the pre-season to two games?  I'm not even talking about increasing the regular season -- but give each franchise one home and one away pre-season game.

Maybe the vendors. I guess any changes would have to wait until after their contracts end.

 

But still. It's ridiculous. 

 

Right now it's basically 2 preseason games anyway. The first and fourth are largely for back-ups and filling out roster spots, which can be done with scrimmages and practices that don't cost face value.

 

Pretty sad that one preseason game is keeping this going. One preseason game.

The owners would have to give up 1 game each. That's what I meant.
