Betts has cost us another game...first, if I had the holes he had I could run for 1000, not one of those 1000 yards goes to him it is his offensive line...when have you ever seen Betts put a move on someone. Second, he is the most fragile runner I've ever seen who goes down at the slightest bit of contact. Third, he can't pass block to save his butt. Fourth, can all of that "should we move portis crap" if he was healthy with the way the offensive line was playing he'd have 3, 000 yards. Fifth, if we were smart we would have traded Betts butt and tried like hell to sign a beast in Duckett; for real, who gives a crap if Betts can catch out of the backfield if someone ain't open with the damn recievers we have everyone should be cut...we shouldn't NEED a pass catching back!!! Betts should have beed traded!!!!

So , with the same OL , why didn't portis run for 3,000 yds last year or in 04 when he averaged less than 4 yds per carry ? Portis is a better player , better picking up the blitz , more explosive , but he is not even close to 4.5 yds a carry . Honestly who cares if some fans like Betts as much or more ? I just hope they can score some damn tds on a regular basis next year . maybe fans should be asking why our Wr's have done nothing this year , not bash the one guy carrying the load every week .
