portis was fine....the fumble hurt, but it wasnt the reason we lost. He had very ineffective blocking...he had to make a man miss within a half a second of receiving the ball every time.....he had the ball properly tucked and it came out somehow. need to run the ball in the rain especially on that big fourth down on their thirty....There is always next week and we are at home!!!!!

Well said with respect to Portis. I think he is a little off due to the injury and probably not 100% himself, but he did pretty well today given the state of the offensive line. The fumble was bad, but frankly by that point we had already tried to give the game away a half dozen times.
