The Saints defense did give up oodles of yards to the Bucs, including 146 on the ground. But, Portis/Betts isn't putting much fear into opponents thus far, and Campbell looks like prey on the plains, waiting to be picked off by neighboring lions, tigers, hyenas, buffalo, etc.

As much as I'd like to use 6 of the last 7 home openers to my advantage, I just can't this week.

Saints 24
Redskins 9

No one fears Portis thats rediculous 84 yrds with no kinda passing game going against the best D-line in ftball. I tell you who no one fears Ernest Grahm and the Bucs O-line. We should run it straight up their ass
