Short answer? Yes.

Sure, why doesn't he just start the game with 30 Clinton Portis runs to get it all locked up? Sounds simple enough.

It's simple - they are afraid of getting beat up by the legion of Eagles fans who came to the game. So they wear green and when the Eagles fans look at them funny, they pretend to cheer for Philly.

Hey - we are averaging 4 yards per pass attempt. You can't argue with that. If we were averaging 1 or 2 yards an attempt, you might have a point.

Give me a longer answer. Why do you think he still would have thrown such an ill-advised pass, assuming he would have had 12 weeks of prior experience?

Obviously, the point was that Portis isn't carrying the ball enough especially against a defensive line that wasn't great at stopping the run all year, and at one point during the game was missing 3 starters.

Please tell me you were being facetious. My sarcasm meter is a little off today.
