Thinking about getting rid of my tickets for the Eagles Game

[steven4est]

if you want to sell them for cheap just because you cant go i would love to see a game i live 5 hours away as well but never could afford to go even if were out of the playoffs it would be fun go skins

I'm driving up to S.F to see the Redskins which is about an 8hr drive for me. I was really hoping we could win the last 3 games and make a run at the playoff's but now I know that S.F will be the last game of the year.
I'm still excited about the road trip though and the game. I have 1st row tickets next to the Redskins bench so maybe I can get an autograph or 2. Either way I would never pass up a chance to go to a Redskins game. Everybody wants’ to go to the games when the team is wining. It's the true fans the care about there teams even when they suck.
Glad to see you’re going to go Skinsfanatic. Just think of it as a nice trip with the wife and going to the game is just a really cool bonus. Like you said ya never know the Skins might actually win.

I think the 'Skins won some very exciting games this year (NO, Arizona, the Eagles twice, and the Cowboys in Texas). And I agree with the comment about Portis...remember, we traded Champ Bailey and a No. 2 draft choice for a guy with an ego so big that he put himself over the team. He had negative comments about the offiensive line, then put Jim Zorn on the hotseat just because he wasn't in the game against the Ravens. Now all I hear on the radio sports talk shows is "Will Zorn be here next year or will he be fired?" I say get rid of Portis. Sorry for bringing this up on this tread, but I'm really bothered by this.

Portis isn't going anywhere with his cap #.

Went to the game and I would've hated myself forever if I hadn't. It was a great time and that ending was spectacular.

Portis = overrated and over the hill

I'm convinced you're Jim Zorn or a very close relative of his.

Nope, but I wish I had his flat top.

Portis is a warrior, just doesn't have the talent everyone thinks he has (at least in my eyes) Riggo said the same thing last night.

1400 yards without the support of a consistent passing game, PLUS the injuries (Grade 2 MCL Sprain), and you say he's over the hill??? I'll take my chances with that production from a RB any day. If Zorn's WCO passing game becomes a factor next year, I would look for Portis to get 1,700+ yards. The man didn't gain an easy yard this entire season.

He put up good numbers while battling injuries all year... I give him credit for that. But he leaves a lot of yards out there because he lacks explosiveness and speed....just my opinion.

I think you have explosiveness mixed up with speed. He has explosiveness but lackes speed when he does get out in the open. If he did not have explosiveness he would not have 1400 yards this year.

No, I know the difference. Let me clarify though. I don't think he has explosiveness [B]through the hole

I know he is hurt, but he got caught from behind by a D-linemen yesterday on one play. If he is that hurt he shouldn't be playing.

[JLee9718]

My feeling about Portis hasn't changed...He criticized the offensive line when maybe the offensive line should have criticized him. For example, I've never seen Portis break any tackles like Adrian Peterson. And this year he didn't have any long runs that he created. Now he's mad because he didn't get 1,500 yards. As far as playing hurt, well, I'm sick of hearing about his aches and pains. He didn't run to win for the team, he ran to get yards for himself. Bring back Champ Bailey! Gibbs, why did you make that trade?
