Redskins vs Broncos Pre Game Thread
 

Figured nobody is really talking about the Chicago game anymore so lets get a jump start on Denver.

Line should be them favored by about 8.

Anyone giving us a chance or will this be a blowout waiting to happen??

I think it's a close game IMO.

Im so full of kool aid i feel like Andy Reid

Re: Redskins vs Broncos Pre Game Thread
 

hahaha good one

Re: Redskins vs Broncos Pre Game Thread
 

Joe redskin was pointing out Denver's run d, But teams will pass more on them because
A. they have to score a bunch to win
B. Denver's secondary is as bad as ours

Re: Redskins vs Broncos Pre Game Thread
 

I'd be a little surprised if we can keep it close.Our defense was bad before,now with the injuries and suspension how can it be any better?
Manning could easily put up 400 yards passing on us.

At this stage in their careers I think Holiday is at least as good as Hester or better.We might get lucky with the Denver air and Kai can kick the ball out of the endzone.As far as punts go,they should have had Rocca practicing kicking the ball out of bounds,I dont care if it shortens his kicks by 10-15 yards,its obvious we cant tackle anybody

Only way we have a chance is if somehow we win the turnover battle.
The only position we have advantage over them is rb.
I think their defense is better than ours
Special teams they are way better than us

My prediction
Broncos 52
Skins 28-35

Re: Redskins vs Broncos Pre Game Thread
 

take a page out of the old school skins...run, run, run, and then run some more. control the clock, and keep manning on the side line. if shanahan jr. doesnt try to win a shoot out, i can see us winning

Re: Redskins vs Broncos Pre Game Thread
 

I don't think we'll win, but I think we don't get blown out.

Broncos - 38
Redskins - 27

Re: Redskins vs Broncos Pre Game Thread
 

We can beat them.

Our best defense will be a good offense. Mr. Hankey will have to cure his dropsies for one game and Moss should make a special guest appearance. But we have the firepower to outscore them.

On defense, we won't stop Peyton but we can slow him down. We can do what the Colts primarily did - get good edge pressure from a 4 man rush and play as solid as possible man-to-man in the secondary. Hopefully Rak and Kerrigan will bring their A games.

Skins 41
Ponies 38

I don't know about that strategy. The Broncos have a hell of a rushing defense; sure, the numbers are skewed because teams are always playing catch-up, but the Denver line is impressive and the backs are coached-up well. Trying to control the clock by running can lead to a lot of 3rd and longs, which in turn lead to a lot of three-and-outs as well as INTs.

Regardless, the problem will very likely solve itself. If the defense allows to quick TDs in the first quarter (which it probably will) we can forget the run game.

Re: Redskins vs Broncos Pre Game Thread
 

Denver 52
Redskins 24

They'll be pissed off and throwing all over our depleted secondary. Von Miller will own Polumbus all day.

Re: Redskins vs Broncos Pre Game Thread
 

I predict that after a slow start with Denver leading 10-0 going into the second quarter, we'll turn on the jets and run up 35 points in the second, score one final TD in garbage time, and we'll beat them Broncs 42-10.

Ahhhh.....1987 was a good year!

8? My Sportsbook (for entertainment purposes only) has them favored by 13.

I don't think we can hang with them...but they're not immortal either. Its not like the 07 Pats game where they were complete all around, the Broncos defense is pretty bad...

That said, our secondary is kind of a mess behind Hall; and I think they'll win... but I could see us hanging around for a while. Who knows, if our offense can put up 45 points again (and the Bears D is better than Denver), maybe we pull off an upset.

Re: Redskins vs Broncos Pre Game Thread
 

I agree I don't expect a W in Denver but I won't be upset if we lose so it's kind of a win win lol

Polumbus was all sorts of bad during that Bears and Cowboys game. I can't believe Pashos nor Trueblood weren't an upgrade over him. They must have been downright terrible.

There are high school players that are better than him. Jesus, he stinks.

Chris Chester hasn't done a great job this year either. He was solid last year. Never got his name called. Hopefully he'll either get back into gear or maybe this season is just a rough one for him.

If we can hang with them in a our team has confidence sort of way, I'll be pleased. I know its a losers mentality, but also as a fan just trying to be realistic.

If we're gonna go on any type of a run, it will come right after.

SD, @MIN, @PHI, SF, NYG, KC, @ATL, DAL, @ NYG.

Really outside of SF, I don't see any of those being slam dunk losses (not sold on KC).. and with the division the way it is, who knows...

Re: Redskins vs Broncos Pre Game Thread
 

We burn up the clock running the ball all over them. We find ways to get to Manning and force a few bad plays which we turn into points.

Skins 38
Den 21

No way our D only allows 21 to Manning! :D

let's remind him that we tuned his neck up in indy and that we just put cutler out of commission.

Re: Redskins vs Broncos Pre Game Thread
 

No way we win guys. We just need to hope we look somewhat respectable.

Re: Redskins vs Broncos Pre Game Thread
 

Denver is definitely beatable if you can harass Manning enough. You just have to outscore them, hopefully our offense is heating up at the right time.

Brilliant insight Capt. Obvious. Although ... it would be quite the stunner if we could beat them by NOT outscoring them. ;)

You know what I mean. It's going to be a shoot-out and FGs aren't going to cut it.

Re: Redskins vs Broncos Pre Game Thread
 

Just yanking your chain Matty. Sorry, couldn't pass up a softball like that.

Re: Redskins vs Broncos Pre Game Thread
 

Ok so the Washington Post pointed out that this year's Redskins team seems to take a guy out every week. I don't wish injuries on anyone, but if they took out Cutler this past week, maybe they can take out Manning for a Qtr or two. I mean they took out Demarco Murray, Eddie Lacy, McFadden..... even LeVeon Bell back in the preseason.

LOL, yes I forgot about Kolb, but I was thinking more about "good" players. Kolb should be out selling insurance or cars somewhere, not playing football anymore.

Jordan Reed was a religion major at Florida. Other than John Elway, you don't see too many religion majors in the NFL. He now is my favorite player, knocking out Arian Foster, who was a philosophy major (don't see many of them, either)

Re: Redskins vs Broncos Pre Game Thread
 

After watching our offense spark last game I have faith. It would be great to see us at least not hand them the game with nonsense plays from special teams, morris fumbling and easy picks.

No way the line is 8. I'm going to guess it's double digits....Denver by 12 or 13.

Denver 45- Skins 31.

Let's just hope our QB doesn't go down (even briefly) with a knee problem int he 2nd quarter. That game was my freshman year in college and I was in a room full of Broncos fans. When we went down by 10, everyone was in my face about it. I just quietly said, "Just wait. It's far from over." By halftime, the room was quiet (except for me).

Ahh -- those were the days.

They're looking a little nervous over there.

Re: Redskins vs Broncos Pre Game Thread
 

Denver isn't that good. They've had a weak schedule so far.

Of course, we've been worse. But if RG3 keeps playing like he did last Sunday, he might carry us like he did last season.

Proof that the harshest critics of a team are always the fans of that team. You'd think they were 0-7 by the way some of them are talking.

Re: Redskins vs Broncos Pre Game Thread
 

we're still not a good team, but we played a lot better vs the bears. special teams is still horrible (we got no return yardage, and they started at the 30 all day... bring potter back to force them to the 20, please). our offense could be soo much better if our WRs could step up a bit. they played better last year. defense has been hot and cold. vs the bears i think we would have done much better if culter had stayed in, oddly enough.

I think we can win. it's not impossible, but i won't be putting any money on it.
