Portis is Dejected

Portis has got to step it up and get in the end zone. Pure and simple.

Bell isn't even the starter right now in Denver, so let's hold off on penciling him in for a 1500 yard season just yet.

I brought up the same point after the game yesterday. When Denver was sitting on the ball at the end of the game, the D line was pushing people around, pissed off. That what I like to see, they are all mad about losing and care about this team and the direction we are going. It was refreshing to see, rather than seeing them shaking the other teams hands and making plans for the night.

Just my two cents worth here.

Coach Gibbs stresses integrity and character in his players. That can be translated into the the qualities of: Pride, Discipline, Poise, and Responsibility.

I think it was a good sign that Clinton was not a happy fellow after the game. It shows he is buying into the team philosophy. The coaches and the fans do not need to point fingers or place blame ... Clinton Portis and I believe many of his team members are turning into their own critics. It shows they care and are motivated to perform better; both as individuals and as a team.

No one enjoys a loss, but there are positive tangibles that I see at work for this team.

i think this season so far is proving that a team-first mentality can make up for weaknesses in talent. scheme is also important though (look at what that new D coordinator's done with that great ravens talent on Defense :P ).
