Basically, it all starts with Portis

O-line all the way--they couldn't run block; they couldn't pass block. Nothing in Gibbs offense is going to work if that's the case.

We got manhandled on both sides of the line of scrimmage. You can't win games when that happens.

So, if Portis was so bad, how did Betts do? Not so great either. Suggests to me that its the o-line and not Portis.

Yea, I want to say we only had the ball for 6 plays during the 1st quarter. I think we managed to eek out about 15-20 net yards during the first half. I don't think LT

I don't think Barry Sanders could have gained 5 yards w/ our blocking yesterday. CP did the best one could expect from anyone yesterday. He got popped pretty good yesterday. I was kindof surprised he got back in the game.

tiki always seems to trash us, but yesterday was insanity. Looking back he's always been a much better RB then i've given him credit for (due to fumbling issues, being on the giants, etc).

i just notice portis run downhill so much (when he does have a hole) that he falls on his own. he's just not the player we were hoping him to be. if we start betts i bet he gets more 100 yard games with this team than portis. Does anyone else see that?... Portis always falls on his own face first when he could have gotten serveral more yards. Its like he runs completely downhill to where it benefits the other teams.

betts doesn't break as many tackles, he's not as fast and he fumbles more. Its not like betts is 260lbs or anything.

Palease! I saw it before we traded for him, I alway's maintained if Betts was in Denver he would have put up the same numbers as Portis, and he runs much harder, his one draw back is his ability to stay healthy.

Bottom line we gave up a ton for a third down change of pace type back, when the holes get big enough for Clinton to run through they will be big enough for just about any other back as well.

Our talent is so overvalued and overpaid it's ridiculous, Lavar, Samuels, Portis, Brunell, any idea what a real GM could do with the money from those salaries? We could have monster players where we need them, offensive, and defensive linemen, instead our top 2 picks spend most of their time on the bench, and as for the rest of the big time surprises Gibbs said where coming out of this draft? Yea right! And that's why Gibbs likes to overpay for established talent no eye for unestablished talent, Taylor was a no brainer, Cooley was a very good job on his part, and that's about it in 2 drafts, Rogers is a quality pick, but we could have done a whole lot to help the overall team by dealing down, instead we gave away next years draft for a QB. I love to hear gibbs justify his signing of estabished talent with the old the draft is a crap shoot, and then give up next years draft for a position which is the biggest crap shoot of all QB! Yes the draft is a crap shoot for those who don't know what they are doing.

sounds like you should get a job a GM, since everyone else (besides you) is obviously an idiot.

L. Betts wears girls p@6%!#$. Every nick, every hit, he gets hurt.

Anyone else notice we lost the second half kick-off because of L. Betts?

While he may not have any business being a GM, his post was exactly right. We overpay, give up draft picks, have no depth on the D-line, and if one player goes down, there's no one who can adequately replace him -- see Boschetti, Killings, and Aki Jones. Gibbs, Snyder, and Cerrato cannot escape blame for that.
