Portis Optimism

[BigSKINBauer]

I might be biased and ignorant or I might be crazy hopeful and desperate but I truly believe that we are going to be something spectacular this year. I have already had reoccurring dreams about Vikings vs skins monday night and the score is like 50+ to 0, our defense is owning and our offense is scoring ever which way. Maybe my hopes will come true someday. Our WRs are all going to be good enough to be a number 2 or better somewhere, moss, lloyd, patten, thrash, and ARE. I am so happy to hear good things about patten from camp and who knows if he could pull up to that number 2 or 3 spot. Lots of rotation and variation will be the key this year and we have the depth to do it. Betts is great and saunders is REALLY impressed by him. I think the mix of a heavy man betts with a new, quicker, and sleeker portis will be magic.

Its pick your poison and either way it ends with us and 7 points. I don't see how we can fail. I pray for a healthy season for all because that is the wildcard in all this. If we are healthy, as I felt we were blessed last year compared to the year before, I don't see anything short of top 10 for this offense and that is a bad year for Saunders. Our defense will hold and I am looking at Super bowl. The LEAGUE is weak right now. The AFC is becoming weak and the NFC has been weak. We play in a division with 4 of the top 10 teams in it; in my opinion and getting out will be a bitch. If we get out we know at least 2 others will not. The playoffs will be a cake walk compared to our division games. If we come out on top of the division we know we won't have to go away for the playoffs to a division rival's house.

Portis, betts, and the running game are going to be huge in this. Portis is a confident son of a bitch. He really is starting to believe he will be picking up 10 yards a play, and I like that. I got his autograph a few months ago and told him to get 1700 yards this year and the way he answered it seemed like he thought he was going to get more and I believe that. 1700 all purpose yards for portis. He is going to be busting out of the hole like he did 3 years ago with denver. He was in shape to do that when he first arrived (Evidence: http://youtube.com/watch?v=x9ycN75syh0&search=portis ). He couldn't do it all year because our O sucked horse balls and the 9 in the box was impossible to penetrate. Last year he was forced to put on weight to break that box wide open regardless if there were 7 or 11 in there. Now he and the coaches know, with the receivers we have, he won't have that problem. He is going to lose weight and be CRAZY fast and nimble again. UGGGSGHg I can't fucking wait for the season.
