What I saw yesterday is the type of running that I'ld expect from a Gibbs team.

I'm not sure how we "got ripped" on that deal. With our not-up-to Bailey-standards CB's, we had the number three defense in the league, number one in the conference. As a team we got six more INT's than Denver. And that stiff we picked up got 1300 yards, despite taking the last game off.

You can argue that Portis didn't live up to billing. I think the entire offense was a disappointment, not just #26.
