I don't know if it was the o-line playing better that made Portis look so irreplacable or if Brunell just doing a better job of getting the ball out accurately or if Portis playing well gave Brunell a little more time and wiggle room. I voted for the o-line but in retrospect I think Portis made the clearest upgrade for the offense.

The o-line looked better ut had too many penalties and really played a lackluster line. They go the job done and should be commended though. Brunell had the time to do what he can do. I think this shows that he hasn't been the real problem.

Portis clearly brings so much more to the table than Betts. Betts is passable but Portis is obviously not only the center-piece but totally indispensable. Those who think he is a system back are crazy. The guy is as good as any back in the league.
