Post all comments here, depth would be nice for those not watching the game
What happened? I'm only "watching" the game online.Avery hurt.
Because of the fumble, or is he just plain sucking?Steven Jackson is NOT a player you want to lean on to lift a struggling team. Absolutely horrible.
He's back in. Went up for a catch and got popped pretty hard in the back. Looked like he was rubbing his knee on the bench though.What happened? I'm only "watching" the game online.Avery hurt.
what happened to portis?
Redskins online radio broadcast has not mentioned anything.betts in for this entire series - any idea why?
Why do people ask this question every single time?what happened to portis?
because its only a matter of time before Portis goes out hurt.Why do people ask this question every single time?what happened to portis?
Portis frequently plays hurt.because its only a matter of time before Portis goes out hurt.Why do people ask this question every single time?what happened to portis?
He is the ultimate "me" player. And Holt is as soft as it gets. Neither one of them are going to do whatever it takes to make plays, shoulder the load, lead the team, etc. to get the team out of its downhill slide. If you are a leader and supposedly one of the best players on your team, you just don't fumble inside your own 5 yard line. You JUST DON'T. No excuse.Because of the fumble, or is he just plain sucking?Steven Jackson is NOT a player you want to lean on to lift a struggling team. Absolutely horrible.
It may well be the game plan in this game to run a lot and to give Betts a lot of carries too. I was actually tempted in one of my leagues to start both Betts and Portis because I suspected that would be the case and I'm relatively weak at RB2.Portis frequently plays hurt.because its only a matter of time before Portis goes out hurt.Why do people ask this question every single time?what happened to portis?
They take him out all the time.portis was standing on sideline with his helmet off, which he put on to head in for the 4th and 1 play.
I would venture to guess that at some point at least half of the top 10 all time leading rushers in NFL history have done the same thing. It's the NFL, there are 260 pound men flying as fast as they can at you causing collisions that you on your couch can not even fathom but by all means continue to throw out crazy accusations about him not being a leader becuase a ball came out.He is the ultimate "me" player.

Tipped in the air and Kendall caem down with it, got hit and fumbled.pass to pete kendall?
Yep. But I expect that to end.This game is a how-to guide on allowing an inferior team to stay in the game on the road.
"crazy accusations" LOLIt is not just one play. Just a prime example. There has been not so quiet talk about this for some time in St. Louis...inside and outside the organization. But you go on thinking he's great for the team because he can put up some nice stats. I'll stick by my (and not just mine) statement that he is not one you want to lean on to lift a struggling team.I would venture to guess that at some point at least half of the top 10 all time leading rushers in NFL history have done the same thing.

I never learn. Holt is pretty much unstartable this year. Suckered yet again -- the coaching turnover doesn't help. Avery getting dinged doesn't help. The team being behind and having to throw doesn't help.Holt = helpless.Good to see Haslett getting the ball in Holt's hands...WTF?
Sure is. Playing down to the competition, just like old times..This game is a how-to guide on allowing an inferior team to stay in the game on the road.

For the people that can't see the game, can you translate this?Here comes Clinton.....
Ripped off a 30 yard run and a bunch of shorter ones. Now he has around 120 yards on the ground and the Redskins are down around the STL 30.For the people that can't see the game, can you translate this?Here comes Clinton.....
If you'd have told me that Portis would have around 150 total yards and 2 TD's with 3 mins left in the game, I'd have assumed that this game was a blowout.And just ran in his 2d td of the day for a 1 pt skins lead.
The Redskins finally have an offense that opens up running lanes for him and keeps safeties out of the box a lot of the time, and he's a very smart runner. He picks lanes and waits for blocks as well as Emmit Smith did, and that's not a compliment I would throw around frivolously as those were two of Emmit's strengths.Anyone else think Portis is making a case for being the top fantasy RB this season? His consistency is amazing.
