Portis speaks!!!

The more it looks bad the more convinced I am that he is playing.

Having Kevin Williams and Pat Williams in the middle of a line doesn't bode well for any running back in the NFL. Especially not Ladell Betts. The Skins might have more trouble than everyone thinks if he has to start this game.

That said, I don't know if the Vikes can put ANY points on the board. They've looked really bad running the new offense in the preseason...kinda sounds like the Skins? Well, the Vikes don't have the weapons around their quarterback the way the Redskins do. The Skins also have the better D, but I just don't think this one is a hands down win.

hmm wasnt the last game that Portis missed was the last game of the season of the 2004 season against the viqueens and betts and co. did pretty well?

Yea, I agree that we should save him for the Cowboys game, let him fully heal. On another note, I think y'all are really underestimating the Vikings. We may be surprised with the kind of game they give us.

Let CP rest, I have total faith in Betts. True though that we shouldn't underestimate the Vikes.

We wont mis a beat with Betts and Duckett in there, let Clinton fully recover before we play him.

can someone say closet viking fan? underestimating the vikings? what do they have on offense? there isnt too much there. now i am not saying its going to be 52 - 0 but keep one thing in mind they have a first year head coach...i would have to give us an edge in coaching.... behind chester taylor at rb who do they have?....i would have to give us the edge at rb even WITHOUT PORTIS. and wide receiver well i shouldnt have to even make a comparison and on defense again no comparison is needed they are running a new scheme on d as far as our d let me just say a couple of things...remember what happened to brad johnson the last time he faced a greg williams defense. we might be without springs but to be honest i am not worried. the outcome of this game is a no brainer. Redskins will win in front of 90,000+. Enough said. boooooooooooo vikings..........hooooooooooooray redskins

Not going to be a problem. Portis should sit out and heal.

I do think you are underestimating the Vikings. Who do they have? Only the best offensive guard in all of football, Steve Hutchinson. Center Matt Birk went to the Pro Bowl at least 3 times between 2000 - 2004. And tackle Bryant McKinnie busted out last season and was just as worthy of a pro-bowl spot at tackle as Randy Thomas was at guard. That line is pretty scary. Our defensive line is pretty good, but we're going to have our hands full up front.

At WR, Troy Williamson's speed scares me. He got deep several times in the preseason, so Kenny Wright and Carlos Rogers are going to need to be on their toes.

Throw in Brad Johnson and you have a QB who knows how to manage a game and make just enough plays when it counts (sound familiar? he's a lot like Brunell).

Can't underestimate these guys. They went 9-7 last year for a reason.
