The State of Redskins Nation

[scowan]

You have to think that Portis will get the best care money can buy, which is better than probably 99% of us talking on this site. Most of us that remember Emmitt Smith playing for the Cowboys in the mid to early nineties, probably remember him playing thru a lot of these type of injuries. Portis has a month to heal, not just 2 weeks. AND he is in better physical shape than 99% of the American population. What would take 6 weeks for one of us may only take 3 for him.

I'm good. If you look at the first 3 games, we don't really need Portis. You have a game thats a win vs. Minnesota with or without him. A game that we likely won't win at Dallas Week 2 even with him. (Although theres a much greater chance with him) And a game at Houston in Week 3 that shouldn't be a loss even with Betts playing. That brings us to Week 4 before we need him when games are decided.

I've read a report that says he's got the same injury as Cedric Benson has up here. That's a 3-4 Week injury. I would put him as questionable for Week 1, and week to week after that, fully expecting him to be on the field with no repercussion at Dallas in Week 2.

A smart fan that aknowledges that a opponent may be difficult to beat. A fan that isn't so far up his ass, that he blindly follows the Skins.

Hey it wasnt me that said that, I am just trying to stop Skins fans from attacking each other. That is the last thing a fan base should ever do, shit we are not a New York fan base.

1) The Portis injury is not devastating. He banged up and will miss the remained of the preseason. His is a 4 - 6 week deal, and if he's smart, he'll sit out the first game if he's not 100%.
2) Brunell is still out money maker. As he goes, we go. Let's stop trying to get Jason elevated, he's not gonna take us to a Super Bowl this year.
3) Our defense is awesome. Enough said.
4) This is our year to make "the run". We have a team capable of winning 11 or 12 games. Brunell just needs to not have ints. We won't win pretty, but we'll win.

not panic here i,m pushing the easy button...
we are in good shape yet this ia all about preseason,meaningless football.

Portis will be ready for the season he will share the caries with betts im not worried.



GO REDSKINS

[redskinsfanatic]
