Mine goes to Portis. When you have a system that is so heavily based on the running game, you've got to have a back that moves the chains and doesn't put the ball on the ground, Portis isn't doing either one right now. For all the money we're paying for this guy, he has to step up his game big time. His fumble was the turning point in the game. With that one play the Skins seemed to have that 'here we go again' attitude and the Browns stole the momentum and never gave it up.

Right now the Skins are their own worst enemy. There's plenty of blame to go around, but the coaches aren't the ones turning the ball over. Time for our playmakers to step the hell up. When you lose the turnover battle, most times you'll lose the game. Simple as that. We shouldn't have to be concerned with not having timeouts left late in the game for a challenge. Guys shouldn't be putting the ball on the ground, PERIOD.
