Can the redskins beat the lions without portis and moss

[Dlyne8r]

As of now, we are challenged to beat practically anyone WITH Portis and Moss. I'm not one of the many doomsday posters here, but without either one of these guys, we will definately be challenged. Thats not to say that Betts can't pick up Portis' slack, but Betts lacks that extra umph that Portis brings. And our receivers? Well, you've already discussed those issues. I'm not a pro athlete, but I've had tendinitis in my shoulder for some time and on occasion, it hurts like hell and I can't even sleep. Granted, it's not my knee and I'm sure Clinton has a much higher threshold for handling pain than I ever will, but you gotta wonder how that is wearing on him. He's a tough SOB, so I doubt he'll let it stop him.
