I'm new here but I guess I'll just jump in with both feet.

I am really suprised at the ammount of speculation going on as to whether Portis or Betts will be dealt in the offseason. I just think it's a stretch that such a drastic move would be made based on a few good days (oaky, great days) from Betts down the stretch after the team had fallen from contention.

I love what Betts is doing and I love the return to a more run-oriented attack. I also appreciate that among some fans there's a lingering feeling that Portis, while great, has never been the north-south back that has traditionally thrived under Gibbs. Still, a trade of either back, especially Portis, seems pretty far fetched to me.
