Portis speaks!!!

I agree that he's not in football shape and needs more time but the problem is if he takes too much time and the skins dont win. While I doubt it will happen if the skins go 0-2 history says they are in trouble, 0-3 and the season is pretty much over. CP needs to be ready to go but he'd better hurry up.

I think CP will be back for Dallas regardless of what happens against Minnesota, but if they lose I think he'll definitely be back.

i dont think any of us are overlooking the vikings by any stretch of the imagination...i agree there is alot of parity in the nfl. I am getting a little antsy for the game monday night especially after watching the fins/steelers game last night. I can tell you all something i have missed football..this is the best time of the year. Is it monday yet? I read a post by someone else this morning and couldnt believe what i was reading. There are some folks in here pretending to be loyal redskin fans and i think i found one. I think we do have some question marks...i wonder which redskin team is going to show up the one that has me so hyped or the one that looked like a deer caught in the headlights during the preseason. All i can say is that i dont think the vikings have looked any better than us this preseason and really what is the preseason good for except getting our star players hurt. my prediction is 20 - 14 with our defense scoring a touchdown. I dont think Brad Johnson is the best qb against a blitz happy defense.

I guess I can't figure out out Shawn Springs injury can be so much worse than Portis's, but they may end up coming back at the same time? If Betts and/or Duckett struggle with the running game on Monday night, then we will all realize how desperate this team is to get Portis back. I sort of see a game like we saw last night with both the Skins and the Vikings going 3 and out a few times early before both team find the things that they can do well. If the Skins take their opening drive and score, after what we saw in Preseason, I will be really impressed. I agree with a lot of you that our Defense will bring their A game and will keep us in this think if the O struggles early on.

didnt springs get operated on? if this game was the game that got the skins into the playoffs, i say portis definitley plays. but this is a marathon, not a sprint. we need all the playmakers, all season long. not play one game, sit another(due to lingering injuries)
