Portis posts big numbers we win simple as that so if we can run the ball we'll be in the hunt. This will be a major game to determine the season and the character of our offense this week. after putting up 31 last week they'll hope to do the same here and keep philly's offense of the field. Running and clock management will be key to success

I just wish they would stop wasting downs by putting in Ladell Betts.

Ladell has played pretty good in the last couple of games. I think he's developing into a good change of pace back to give Portis a breather. The way he played against the Giants and even the way he played against the Steelers, I would hardly call a waste of downs. In the past, when Gibbs was winning Super Bowls, he always had at least two running backs to help change the pace of the running game and to give the main back a break. I think it's worked rather nice for us.
Betts had 11 rushes for 64 yards last week. How is that a waste??
You've got to spell Portis sometime, and for the most part Betts has done a very solid job all year.

portis could put up 200 on SF and the vikes, so it really depends on how those games go...

Clinton Portis is a one of the best, i am thinking believe it or not close to 1600. If the run isnt forsaken like the first game
