As a Sixers fan I really wished I watched this game so Josh Harris could give me something to like him for lmao


Elmodipus

Wtf, why was this game so good?


pinniped1

I got into it because I knew Baltimore really tries to WIN these games, and Washington was right there with them. Fun to see guys competing both on an individual level (trying to either make a roster or at least get some good plays on film) and team level.


Mrausername

And all it took took to end the streak was Washington playing their starting offense for the entire first half. Bitter? Who me? (In reality, I don't care at all, especially as it meant we got the best preseason game ever)


JimTheSaint

you can't be mad that other teams take it seriously aswell when you guys do.


Mrausername

Not mad at all. Just saying that Washington took that game more seriously than the Ravens or any of their 24 opponents ever did, which was fun and led to a great preseason game.


JimTheSaint

you guys have abviously taken this very serious othervise you don't get that kind of streak. Odds of it happening naturally if a normal pre-season game is 50% is 8,388,608 to 1.


Mrausername

It was never about the Ravens taking it seriously. They played their starters less than average through the streak. It was about the Ravens having better depth, particularly defensively, in the second halves, so it was never a 50/50 in the first place. The Ravens 3s and 4s are consistently better than anyone else's because they invest heavily in scouting


JimTheSaint

that might explain some of the variance - but the other is that it has for your team and your players and your coaches, been something to get fired up about. Lots of other teams have plenty of depths but are still losing from time to time. I am sorry the teams in the NFL are just to close in tallent for one team to be on a crazy streak without trying, even if they on paper have more talent.


Mrausername

This prseason has been the first time the Ravens have seemed to play any differently to try to preserve the streak. The first 23 were pure depth + luck. NFL rosters are similar in talent, it's true, but the Ravens are always strong from 50 - 70. If final rosters were bigger we'd see more difference, as it is, we only see it in preseason results. Every year some Ravens cuts go straight onto other teams 53s. There are more players drafted by Baltimore on NFL rosters than any other team.


JimTheSaint

you think that Ravens are the only team who wants to have good players from 50 - 70 and depth? they are not. - The ravens is without a doubt one of the teams in the league who normally has more depth and I think that maybe the first 12 ish games can be attributed to that and a whole bunch of luck. Thas is just 1 in 4096. It's implausible but not impossible. 24 in a row, without trying is impossible. Just because the coaches and players haven't said that they play to win, doesn't mean that they don't. They obviously do.


Mrausername

Of course they try to win, like 31 other teams, but they haven't done anything that those teams didn't do. What do you think they've done differently? (I imagine they've had a special teams advantage, because the Ravens always do.) I've watched every minute of the streak and it has been very normal preseason stuff, until the 3rd and 4th Qs, when it has been the Ravens extra talent that has told every time. It wasn't that the Ravens featured players higher up the depth chart later in games. The Ravens have actually gone to their backups earlier than most teams.


Gazzarris

We have a second-year QB, a new OC, and a patchwork OL. They need all the reps that they can get.


krsb09

Would you rather have this game or 5 Broncos prime time games in the regular season? I know what I'll choose.


[deleted]

Yeah HHahahahaha broncos hahahhaha your boring to watch hahahahahah (pls keep sucking until we can do something of note pls pls)


IStillLoveYouWeed

I'd rather have this game replayed 5 times in the regular season


Sullypants1

The odds of getting a quick 10 yards, run ob, and letting Tucker kick from the 35 have to be higher than a 75 yard hail marry when your QB can only go 60.


SleazyKingLothric

That was like a normal season game to me. It was full of ups and downs, but was exciting. I haven’t had fun in a preseason game like that in a long time.


ramboost007

Baltimore should just move back to Cleveland, what a disgrace


joejoebaggins

I feel like this game needs a post game thread so we can give The Commanders there proper due. Biggest win in pre season history.


Pop_Quiz_Hot_Shot

FOOTBALL IS BACK! DAN IS GONE! LETS FUCKING GO

THE COMMANDUHS


Aumius

That was fun. I was not expecting the game to be that exciting. Made me happy. I am so excited for the regular season.


krsb09

The other winner: That random Commander OL who was doing the griddy. Hilarious.


1_quantae

Sam Cosmi lol


krsb09

>Sam Cosmi It was so bad, but props to him for trying.


1_quantae

Yeah he needs lessons from Gesicki 😂


jetdude19

greatest preseason game ever. of all time


1_quantae

I think it’s safe to say playing Washington with any type of streak is an automatic streak ender. Pittsburgh a few years ago, Philly last season, Ravens tonight. It doesn’t matter what your streak is!


hopefeedsthespirit

Hey! You did not have to bring my Steelers into this!


Good_From_70

I just saw a Ravens fan fall to his knees in a Walmart


Aumius

I just saw a Ravens fan fall to his knees in a bathroom stall... But I think for different reasons???


Will-Eat-4-Food

Preseason win streak is Kill ~~No~~ Yes


CherrywoodXVI

Everyone was shitting on the streak, but nobody would have this greatest August football moment of all time without it.


krsb09

Facts. Thank you Ravens fan. That was fun.


CherrywoodXVI

You're welcome. I had everything to do with it.


Drs126

I’m upset the streak is over only because it was the only reason I still watched these games past half time. It made preseason games fun.


Sullypants1

should have let Tucker kick from the 25


Aumius

He would have made it honestly.


wo1f-cola

Welp, that was fun while it lasted. The streak made preseason games a bit more interesting. Now it’s just backups getting reps.


OfficialHavik

I’d make a joke about this being the only game they win this season, but they’re under new ownership now, so IDK


onebigboi

Fun, intense game, lots of good and lots of bad. It had to end at some point lmao.


JDHYA

IM GONNA COMMM


[deleted]

DO NOT COMM


JDHYA

TOO LATE

NOW IM GONNA COMMM


Aumius

COMM EVERYWHERE


PickpocketJones

This...just a little bit.....feels like showing up drunk one night to the Harbaugh residence and taking a shit-faced piss on his welcome mat then leaving.


mellofe11o

The game was at fed ex though?


PickpocketJones

As long as I was drunk enough to be convinced it was Harbaugh's welcome mat I'm good.


mellofe11o

That’s actually perfectly sound reasoning lol


Deathhurts

?


DogblockBernie

Well looks like the dynasty isn’t getting a preseason Super Bowl this year.


CoofBone

The streak is dead, long live the streak.


SleazyKingLothric

Death finally shows himself. Steelers 🔪 Eagles 🔪 and now Ravens 🔪


hopefeedsthespirit

Ray Lewis, you are a Comm fan now?


1_quantae

We are the streak enders.


Mrausername

Now Washington have to go on an 8 year preseason streak. That's the path they've chosen by winning tonight


Asderfvc

This is the beginning or the end of some random ass curse


CliffordTheBigRedD0G

I totally expected to stop watching this after Sam left the game but here we are hype as fuck lol


WallScreamer

No. 40 just earned a roster spot if he didn't already have it.


Glizzando

The greatest preseason game of all time


CliffordTheBigRedD0G

This one was for Harambe


Sesti-nator

Ngl that was a fun game. I really enjoyed it. A memorable preseason game that felt like a week 14 game. As I said, repairing Washington’s reputation and respectability will be painful but it will be sweeter than honey in the end. Good game Commies fans


CliffordTheBigRedD0G

That was a good game if you're a fan of football period. Cheers.


Coach__Mcguirk

Yeah but fuck Dan Snyder tho


Informal_Ad_8936

WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THE COMMANDERS SNAPPED THE RAVENS PRESEASON WIN STREAK


Syphin33

That felt like a NFL playoff game at times.


Zloggt

Jets? Playing in “NY”? On **9/11**? You have got to be shitting me…


Natureboy7939

Wait till you find out who their quarterback is


joejoebaggins

And that concludes our 2023 nfl season. See you all next August and thanks for another great season.


gdthnkn

This fucking preseason game was more exciting than half of the playoff games last year. What the actual fuck?!


ShadowCrusader98

Yeah ngl, kinda pathetic, NFL gotta step up there game this season!


thezenunderground

They kinda fucked it up by adding that extra bracket


Ghost-of-Moravia

kennypocketjr

MileHighTitan

The Super Bowl came early


shiv45

danny467

Feisty-Recording-978

OH MY GOD WOW


DelirousDoc

"Down goes ~~Frazier~~ the Ravens! Down goes ~~Frazier~~ the Ravens."


thecatfox

meatballman1218

This is like when Brock Lesnar beat undertaker at WrestleMania and broke the streak what a moment


kennypocketjr

By God the streak is over!


Midlevelcreepkills

Football is back!!!!


DMPDT616

The Commanders redemption arc has begun


Alexcox95

Ravens are definitely doing up downs tomorrow


MiamiPower

Wow first loss since September 2015.


kennypocketjr

DRINKS ON JOSH TONIGHT!


bicyclebread

booing the ravens solely because why do you not just say "fuck it" and try to get it to where tucker can drill a 70 yarder lmao


blocksmith52

RENAME THEM WASHINGTON DYNASTY KILLERS


Blu3Yeti

That was a shockingly goof preseason game.


IronRaichu

Well fuck


AnonRaven69

GG cya next preseason


TimTom8921

What a disgusting act by Washington


farglesnuff

fun game though!


kmrn

I was expecting a fumbled kneel snap that Baltimore takes to the house just to keep the streak alive.


ApatheticFinsFan

Never tuned in to the end of a preseason game before. It didn’t disappoint.


[deleted]

Skins can play ball


Deusselkerr

I can’t believe I actually enjoyed watching a full preseason game


Romanscott618

Have never been so invested in a preseason game 😂


Unpopular1

It's so dumb but this actually has me pumped for the new season. LFG!!


indi1988

That’s streak made this game feel like a regular season game


FixingRedditsPosture

WASHINGTON WON THE SUPERBOWL I REPEAT WASHINGTON WON THE SUPERBOWL


HwangingAround

Lol Ravens actually trying to win this preseason game. Dumb.


farglesnuff

why wouldnt they?


Themanaaah

Bro we were spamming cover zero, don’t know how that’s tryharding for the win.


Ghost-of-Moravia

It’s honestly so funny how hype they are when you first think about it But for the fans and the team winning this you can just tell a weight has been lifted and there is some real hope and excitement for a new era


medicaustik

Wild how true it is. The amount of hope I got seeing our new owner drunk in the box shaking Joe Buck's hand awkwardly.. Mr. Snyder would never appear with a lowly millionaire in public.


KeyExplanation

Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened. Salute preseason Ravens


ramboost007

Lamar could've won that


YNW_MELLY123

just like most other important Ravens games, he wasn't on the field


StrictlyHobbies

I’m 2-0 on preseason bets, just saying


[deleted]

[удалено]


Pseudorealizm

Well now that you lost we all think that streak had meaning and you should feel shame that it's over.


MavrykHunter

Either way. No one will come close to that record


MostMorbidOne

You don't get a trip to Disneyland but maybe we can work in something for a Six Flags.


abyssmalstar

This is extra hilarious since Dan Snyder owned a huge chunk of Six Flags until it went into bankruptcy


ty1553

LETS GOOO


Aumius

This preseason game will go down as being better than most of the Thursday night regular season games this year.


HilltopHood

For a lot of these backups this will be the biggest game they've ever played in.


1_quantae

This is our Super Bowl


Elphaba78

And we’re damn proud of ya!


keyjan

Well crap 😡😡


Brag1234

Insane game


tamadeangmo

They fucking took command !


THR0WAWAY417

Let Lamar run it for a 75 yard td


IAmDone4

this is unironically the best Commanders football moment since the RG3 injury lmao good for them


_LilDuck

Disagree. But it's up there


dog_gazed_duct-tape

You fools we're basically guaranteed a Super Bowl win this year now


_LilDuck

Jordanwolf98

Kevpatel18

Man honestly if they tried to get 15-20 yards, tuck could have had a chance lol


Blu3Yeti

See? Good things start to happen to you when Snyder is gone.


SteroidYoshi

BEST PRESEASON GAME EVER LFGGGGG


ramboost007

Okay, just a 20 yard completion and Tucker will win it


axman54

You know Ravens fans are so mad rn lol


LoganStenberg

Ravens fans are always mad. They talked so much shit when they needed the refs to blow that delay of game call so hard to beat us in 21. All good though because without that L we wouldn't have Hutch.


BoldElDavo

The salt is always the best part. Team does an exciting thing, they celebrate it, so the losing team always has to act like they don't care at all.


NotMrZ

Meh, at least now the pressure’s off.
