Not much respect from the Orange Mane..

RoanokeSkin · #1 10-03-2005, 01:59 PM

The guys over at the Broncos message board (www.orangemane.com) seem to think they are totally going to shut our offense down and that they are going to walk all over our D.

I have been chatting it up with them, not talking smack as much as getting opinions on the game. Some of them are very realistic, some are extreme homers, much like you would expect from any board. It is some fun reading, if you guys want to take a look.

(P.S. - they pretty much hate extremeskins.com, because those guys just seem to think we are going to kill Denver)

Orangemane has some decent guys/gals over there...but there are a few that have delusions of grandure.

They have extra incentive to beat the Skins this week....since they own our 1st rounder in next year's draft and they want us to lose as many games as possible.

I think any "realistic" fan of either team should be cautious of this game...

Well the Redskins have not "killed" anyone yet so I am definitely not saying the Redskins will kill Denver. But the Redskins are playing harder teams as we go along, and playing better as we go along. So I like what Gibbs is doing. He has the team believing.

Our schedule was pretty sweet in that it warmed us up slowly. And we have risen to the occasion in each of the first three weeks. Each opponent tougher than the previous, each defense better than the last. Our schedule has built us up to this game and this will the toughest yet. Denver is a good team. This will be a good game.

I like the guy who said the NFCLeast and the AFCbest. Tell me which division is 4-1 against the other.....

OrangeMane seems okay to me. They're over-reacting to a bunch of silly posts at extremeskins.com, but that's not terribly surprising. If you judge all Redskins fans by what you see at that website, of course you're going to come away with a negative opinion. If they spent more time here they'd get a better idea of what Redskins fans are really like: informed, passionate, relatively fair-minded.

Look at these comments from Rod Smith. This should be a fun game for portis

Quote:

Jacksonville, Fla. - Hey, Clinton Portis. A word of warning. When you return to Colorado for a homecoming football game, leave those fancy pink shoes of yours in the closet.

'Cause the Broncos don't dance.

They stomp.

"If I catch Portis over by the sideline, I'm going to knock him out," said Denver receiver Rod Smith, feeling feisty after the Broncos pounded Jacksonville 20-7 on Sunday.

He merely said it jokingly but i still thought it was funny, since portis had called him when he was out of the game with a concussion the last week.

Quote:

"I might have to tackle Portis. He called me and dogged me about getting knocked out last week against Kansas City," said Smith, who left the Chiefs game dizzy from a concussion. "When I got home from the game, the first message on my answering machine was from Portis. He was dogging me out about getting knocked out. But I'm going to knock him out."

I think if Portis and Rod matched up, Portis would run him over!

Last year we had an Orange Mane member posting here after the Portis-Bailey trade, I think he went by the username of Spider....there was one other also, but I don't think he visited as often as Spider. But at any rate, both of those visitors were good posters and are welcomed back here at any time. I would expect to see one, or both, in here sometime before the game on Sunday.

These teams are close enough that I expect fans from both side expect their teams to win on Sunday, as it should be.

I posted over ther during the Portis-Bailey trade and they were nice and calm fans. They're entitled to their opinion.

can you honestly blame them? denver is coming off two SOLID games. If we had played that well in either of our two games, I think we would be thinking we're unstoppable too.

This was something that one of their members posted. My response follows after his.

Jax thoght they would stop our run game but gashed for 188 yards. Having Anderson and Bell, two differnet backs with different assets makes it harder to contain the run attack.

First of all hello everyone and I wish ya'll the best in your upcoming game against my skins. There is no way that ya'll will attack us up the gut. The edge is the best place to attack us, and were even tight there. You said that Jax thought they would stop ya'll up the gut but you gained 188 yards. Well "NEWS FLASH", we ain't Jax! We are a team that hasn't had a 100 yard rusher against us in the last 8 games. We have some very good/fast linebackers, that will attack the short passes. Plus you mention that you have 2 different styles of RB's that will make it harder to contain your running game. Well we have the same thing! Of course we have you know who? Mr. Portis! Then we have Ladell Betts that can be a starter for any team in this league and probably will be in the next year or so. So please don't think that you are the only team with this asset.

May the best team win!

By the way to all the doubters, 3-0 is still 3-0! PERIOD!

I see that we have taken the fight to them....lol. Nice job Spence, DJ and Co.

That's it, I'm officially calling for a vote on your allegiance.

Do you honestly think any Denver fan would think they would lose to the Redskins at home this weekend? Noone other than Redskin fans think we have a chance in Denver this weekend.

It will be a close hard fought game with the Redskins winning by a FG. Champ will get burned by Moss. Cooley will step on Champ's helmet after he runs him over and Clinton will stiff arm Champ into the turf.
