Clinton Portis

The bottom line is Portis fumbled and didn't catch a pass that would have helped keep a drive alive. Maybe we need to bring in Rock.

How the hell is that the bottom line, when Betts had the opportunity to tie up the game and failed twice? It sounds like your only defense of Betts lack of ability is that Portis had a bad play too. That's a ridiculous argument.

And as far as the Portis fumble; it was a bad exchange. Portis never even had possession of the ball. And the dropped pass is bad, but those plays happen. What's your defense for Betts' less than two yard rush average?

No man, Betts is better because Portis fumbled and dropped a pass. It doesn't matter what Ladell Betts did or didn't do, the argument ends at Clinton fumbled. Betts's continued red zone ineffectiveness has nothing to do with this argument. Or Clinton's averaging 3 yards more per carry yesterday than yesterday. Clinton fumbled a handoff on twice the workload...that means Betts should be in there...even if he can't average 2 yards a carry, break a tackle or score with 2 opportunities from the 2 yard line.

DID you just argue with yourself? You can't base what portis is gonna do on the next play based on his last play.
