Please say he just had the wind knocked out of him.
keep telling yourself that and you just might start to believe it.He'll be alright... probably just a little tender right now. He'll probably sit out of practice until Friday and play on Sunday.
how the hell would they know that..denver radio says it looks like a broken ankle......
I believe Shanny also ran on 3 and 6 from about the 15? I always thought you kicked that close on third down in case of a bad snap or hold.Whaddaya mean Shanny did what any other coach would do? Portis ran the ball like almost 40 times, and they were tough yards to boot. I think once you have the ball inside the 15 you go ahead and kick. Why they were still intent to run the ball inside the 10 is beyond me. "What any other coach would do"...let's rephrase that to "what any other idiot coach might do".
yep - 3rd and 6 from the 16 was the time to kick a 34-yarder. I was yelling for it as I'm sure were most knowledgeable fans. Certainly after Portis got the first down to the 10 you trot Elam out there on 1st down. Shanahan is a hack...I believe Shanny also ran on 3 and 6 from about the 15?

almost McGahee-like bad![]()
As Brett would say, "I think I would have gone with Vanilla with that sweater."If the intent is to win, I think that continuing to pound the ball for a TD vs risking a FG before you have to is the way to go unless you are merely playing to prevent injury.What was Shanahan thinking? How close did he need to get Elam?
With a RB that has a reputation for fumbling and the best kicker in the NFL?As Brett would say, "I think I would have gone with Vanilla with that sweater."If the intent is to win, I think that continuing to pound the ball for a TD vs risking a FG before you have to is the way to go unless you are merely playing to prevent injury.
i have never heard of this fumbling reputation. and jason elam is hardly the best kicker in the game.With a RB that has a reputation for fumbling and the best kicker in the NFL?As Brett would say, "I think I would have gone with Vanilla with that sweater."If the intent is to win, I think that continuing to pound the ball for a TD vs risking a FG before you have to is the way to go unless you are merely playing to prevent injury.

Actually, I'm going up against a Portis owner for the championship next week. My interest is just in knowing what type of decision he is going to be facing next week...Ok fellow Portis owners,who needs tums?Code:Legion of Doom, Class Dismissed, Warhound, Travelmoose, fsufan, Jeromen, Brave Sir Robin, Swanny, adamgraves, RandleEl82, OneShot201, Jimmy James, Memphis Foundry, TeddyKGB, NJ, Gamese7en, knowledge dropper, TME, sdsjr3, captbly, zyxys, mac daddy, SKIDMARK, dloew, FUJO4, LAUNCH, VerticalVike, TheGMen, stedman, Me & My Uncle, ajlight, PatsFanCT, Federal, Keerock, greenroom, j blower, dirtnap101, Steelers Rule, scottybo14, Herc, FootballFreakX, BIDDEFROGS, delusional, duke21, LadyBeBop, Cheech1974, The Scorpion, wiseguys, NFL Sunday Ticket, bhrugby, offdee, BDubs, MarshallPlan, RJJR, dougins, Frenchy Fuqua, MillenniuM Presents: Frank Black, JHarrill, Zasada, Master Gators, biglare66, imeimex, Wildcat, jdsmit06, dwarfboy, Humping Rhino, TheElwayWarriors, mcd, Strummer, kstewart23, Burning Sensation, Spur24, Ditka is God, S.F.W
Three that he's lost. Not exactly a reputation-building number.Edit: according to NFL.com he's put three on the ground and lost only 1. Yeah, he's a big fumbler.how many times has clinton portis fumbled this year?That must be one big rock you live under.i have never heard of this fumbling reputation. and jason elam is hardly the best kicker in the game.With a RB that has a reputation for fumbling and the best kicker in the NFL?As Brett would say, "I think I would have gone with Vanilla with that sweater."If the intent is to win, I think that continuing to pound the ball for a TD vs risking a FG before you have to is the way to go unless you are merely playing to prevent injury.![]()
what the hell are you talking about? rbbc? whatever. i wonder if these were the same people that were saying that priest was done.If I hold on tomorrow night, I go against the Portis owner for all the marbles. Not that I was hoping for this or anything. Also, what do you mean you never heard of Portis' fumbling probs? This may well be behind him and all but...did you just start watching football this year? Portis had a lot of buzz in August and many in FF land thought he might be huge. Then he fumbled away into a RBBC. Then he worked his way back to a starter and stud. He had his believers and disbelievers but all were concerned about his fumbling probs.

He's talking about last year's RBBC. However, even last year, he had less fumbles than Jamal Lewis had this year. Whatever reputation is being discussed doesn't actually exist. He's been one of the best RB in the league at holding onto the football this year.what the hell are you talking about? rbbc? whatever. i wonder if these were the same people that were saying that priest was done.If I hold on tomorrow night, I go against the Portis owner for all the marbles.

He kicked the FG because of the clock.Thae Favre Commercial fits perfectly.Portis ran the ball 5 times 20 yards prior to the injury.2nd and 7 with a back that just ripped off a series of quality runs despite everyone knowing that he was comming. I say again, ram it down their throat until they prove they can stop him.Fact is Shanny went for the quick FG on first down with 11 seconds left in regulation........yet curiously he keeps pounding the ball in OT inside the 15 .......Elam is money from that point blank range.Sharpes reaction was incredulous.....he points out at the field...... at portis lying on the field absolutely bewildered as to why they did not kick the FG....shaking his head.Tom jackson asked the same question....why don't you kick the FG.farves commercial is a classic but in this situation it is not applicable.There is no room for debate.......Why,,,,why ....why don't you kick the F'n FG???
