Houston, you have a problem.

I see that the redskins are not really capable of beating anyone without Mr. Portis running the ball. I had predicted a banner year for them, but now I think they stumble too much and better win this week or risk becoming bogged down in the squabbles and finger pointing will start. What an unexpected mess they are in

A Gibb's coached football team NEVER finger points regardless of how bad it gets. That is one thing you can count on!

I don't know that after going all preseason learning the new playbook that Washington can go back. It wouldn't be much of a move I guess, OLine is the same, Rb is the same etc....

The Key is Portis.

He is the best player in the NFC East. He is probably the 8th best player in the entire League. You notice when he is gone.

One last thing about Favre.
He has to say he isn't interested in a trade. He doesn't have any options. Look at Steve McNair, he had to hang on and on in Tennessee so he doesn't look like the bad guy and the organization can say we tried and now we need to Reload.

Favre would work in Washington.
Who else has the stature as an organization to appeal to him.
Who else has a defense good enough to make a Run.
Who else has all those factors and offensive weapons that Favre would love to have.

When I heard Favre say he didn't want a trade, it sounded like the vote of confidence that a GM give the coach before firing him.

Favre has to play the good guy, the Packer forever, it makes him easier to deal in the end....

favre would have to learn a new system, favre would turn the ball over a lot. gibbs has a PHOBIA about interceptions. it's bizarre, but true.

ESPN.com - NFL - Texans can expect 'full-throttle Portis,' 'Skins RB says (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2597546)

good news

Its the little things that portis does that makes him such an asset to our team. I watched inside the nfl on hbo and on the two highlights they showed off brunnell being sacked was greg ellis running through a ladell betts block and greg ware running through a tj duckett block. If there is one thing you can count on is the blocking of portis but if the shoulder isnt 100% how good will his blocks actually be? thats the key question on portis is you ask me right now.

Personally, I think we need to drop Betts, he hasn't done anything really over the past two years (excluding the KO runback in Tampa Bay in 05). He looked horrible both weeks Portis was out. TJ Duckett hasn't looked much better but I think that he will once he backs up Portis. The Finese/Power should be an extremely potent running game.

Favre is a MVP, Super Bowl Ring, bona fide first ballot Hall of Fame Quarterback. He picks up the playbook by his second game. So for a game you have to rely on your RB - he's pretty good your RB!

If Favre has people to hand off to, to pass to, and a Coach who he would have to respect, he won't be heaving up those no-hopers we have seen lately.

Brett Favre = HAS BEEN. He should have retired last year. Great qb in his day. but his day is long gone.

I would gladly take Favre... even next year.

The guy still has it, he's just on a bad team, simple as that.

He should have took off this year and went to a winner. Team loyalty is fine and great, but would anyone have blamed him for trying to win another championship elsewhere??

Morale is really in the shitter when it is Friday and no one has posted a link to the opponents fan site for talking smack.

Then again, I haven't seen any Texans fans stopping by here either.
