New 2004 Goal: get Portis 1500 yds

[LadyT]

Watching last night's game, I was extremely frustrated that Portis didn't get a lot more carries. When he does and is successful, we win. When he doesn't, we lose. Why does Gibbs keep varying the game plan week to week? Some weeks, Portis is the man. Other weeks, he's almost an afterthought. Portis is our strongest offensive weapon and, for a lot of games, he has been woefully underused. I thought we went to the pass way too often last night.

And the final nail in the coffin was the choice to throw long on first down, when we had the tie and perhaps the win in our hands. That is just unforgiveable. Why didn't they give the ball to Portis when we got within scoring range? What were Gibbs and Ramsey thinking? I blame Gibbs because he called that unnecessary pass play and Ramsey because he threw it into double coverage.
