Let's Look at the Bright Side

Portis' fumbles killed us, so I hope he shows up at his Thursday press conferences as a tube of SuperGlue.

As for Brunell, he's played decent overall this year, but the sad thing is, because of Gibbs' decision to go with Burnell, we'll need to start all over at the QB position next year or in 2007 at the latest.

That's a great point. Brunell isn't going to last forever. So we can only hope that Jason Campbell is the second coming of Ben Roethlisburger. As much as I know we'll need young talent waiting in the wings at quarterback, it sure would have been nice to see a defensive end selected with the 24th pick.

Yes, a young, hungry defensive end would have been a godsend today and last weekend. It could get ugly next Sunday with no pressure on Brees and LT running wild.

From what I heard on the postgame show, this is Portis' first, well and second, fubble in all the games this year. After all the touches he gets, this isnt that bad. I agree tho it did kill us. If we didnt commit any turnovers, imagine how many games we wouldnt give away. Something like 9 games last year were divided by 6-7 or less. Take away the Giants game and most of the ones this year are the same way. If we completely eliminated turning the ball over, we'd probably win the superbowl, ok maybe not the superbowl, but at least a hell of a lot more games!

These are two fumbles he lost, the rest were recovered by the Skins.
