POSITIVES from the game...

Portis was a very good goal line/short yardage guy in Denver, seems to me the lack of push up front was more of the problem than Portis. Give the guy a crease and he'll slip through.

Exactly. That was my main gripe with the play-calling....if the formation wasn't so tight, the defense would have been a little more spread out, and the chance of a crease would have been greater...he doesn't need much!
Portis can be successful on short-yardage/goal-line, but he is not a "heavy-jumbo" package type back.
