After the loss to the Bengals has your season outlook changed at all?

Everyone is saying this. Did he give up anything other than that TD?wright was abused all night long. morton and patterson looked much better. at one point the bengals qb threw at #25 4 times in a row i think and completed 3 of them for a first down every time

Damn. Just wondering because I was thinking he had played a decent game.

The only reason I'm slightly concerned is because most of the other NFC East teams starters looked pretty solid.

We'll be fine.

I think Portis will be fine, too. Hell, if Emmitt Smith can play with a seperated shoulder, CP should be good to go. Pound for pound, he is one of the toughest RBs in the league. Look at the bright side. At least the injury isn't severe and we know that he won't get hurt more during preseason.

These are my thoughts as well. Portis does not need the work and now he will have a month to get well before Minnesota. I pray and hope he will be fine by then. He can still run around and do walk thru's for the next month. Hey, the only thing last night told me is that our backups are not as good as theirs. Our starting D looked unbelievable!!!

Don't forget how solid we looked a couple of years ago versus Tampa Bay in the preseason game under Steve Superior.

he'll be fine. i'm not worried about a preseason game.

in fact, i hate the preseason games. they should just only do the scrimmages. maybe 2 preseason games...

what do you guys think?

Not worried about the stellar three points we put up on the scoreboard. Not even worried about Collins' pi$$ poor outing considering all the pressure and the safety came when back-up O-linemen were protecting him. I thought the back-up line settled down well as the game went on.

Too early for season predictions (even if, god forbid, Portis has to miss the first 5-6 weeks of the season).

Collins looked like crap and should be the third qb. Campbell looked good but raw. McCume, Rocky, and Skyes were the only defensive 2nd stringers I liked. There was to many arm tackles very sloppy!

It is hard to make judgements based on such a game. Our starters played little and even the main backups were rotating in and out with a bunch of guys who wont be on the team. I am no less pumped than before. As long as Portis can be treated and get back to 100% I feel ok.

The offense looked a bit rusty but did you see that sick catch Loyd made heck yeah. Portis will hopefully be back and we will be fine. Besides did you see how sick our starting defense looked? they looked nasty and Taylor knocked the snot out of his second running back Rudi Johnson. After that interception they lost what like 20-30 yards took them all the way back to the 50 yard line. Defense looks GOOD!!!!! In the few plays they played.

The only thing that disappointed me (besides the injury to Portis) was how awful Todd Collins looked.. WOW! He was beyond bad. Barring catastrophic injuries to the OL we should be fine. 1st teams looked very good IMO. I would HATE to be a backup OL or defensive player today at the next practice.. Bugel and Williams are going to KILL them!
