Portis looked very good this week. Remember he aslo had a 30? yard run negated and he was very close to breaking away for two TDs. Once Portis lost his balance and fell down and once he had a player just get a part of his foot to trip him up. On another play if he would of ran to the left of his block and not his right he would have scored. I'm not making excuses I'm just stating how close he was to a 200 yard game against a tough run D. I thought our entire O played great and was happy to see how well we moved the ball. The Skins are missing two things 1 we needed to score more points in the red zone 2 we need a turnover or two to come our way. Every week we are increasing O production while facing tougher teams and this is what I'm hyped about.We can look at all the negatives but if you look at all the positives we have alot to be happy about. We are seeing Gibbs and this team coming out of their shell and if any team tries to look past us they are going down. Two weeks from now we will be 5-1 and everyone will be jumping on the Skins bandwagon.
