If Chargers can get a 1st & 3rd for Turner, don't we have to shop Betts?

Well the defense was certainly the problem this year, but it's not like they didn't cost us a few games last year. It was inconsistent in 2005 (which beats completely crappy).

Our offense was very consistent for most of 2005 and was every bit as good as the defense. People remember the playoff games. People don't remember the games that we lost because our opponents scored way above their season average PPG.

Portis wasn't anymore responsible for the above average offense in 2005 than Brunell or Moss, but he was certainly every bit as important as either.
