Re: WK3 Tough loss. Keep head up!
 

I am still optimistic but you have to admit...that loss was hard to take. Up 17-3? We have to develope a "stomp a mud whole in your a$$" mentality. Keep the defense off the field. Why not develop a gadget play with ARE to get things going. We are ok...but need to come out and be ready for detroit because there receivers will be ready.

[quote=Buster;356495]That's just nuts. Portis far better all around: running, catching and he's the best blocking and tackling RB in the league. He's thrown for TDs too.

Well, USUALLY he is, CP had some goofs yesterday, but he still had a better game than Betts.[/quote]
I agree that Portis is better all-around, but I do like Betts catching the ball out of the backfield - he just seems more fluid catching the football.

As for my point on Michael Turner, he will be a heavily sought after free agent at year end, and if he lands on a decent team, he will be a perenniel 1,200 yard back. He's built more like a goal-line back than LT at 5'10" 230 pounds, but you won't see SD put him in goal line over LT. Portis IS much tougher at the goal line than Betts, and should have been in for the last two plays.
