It's gotta be the offensive line. They didn't protect Brunell that well with even a 4 man rush and they weren't opening the holes the backs need to get more than 2 yards per carry. I think Portis coulda made something more with what the line was giving them but I doubt it would have gotten much better than 3rd and short.
The defensive backs did a good job of shutting down the post and come back routes but 117 yards in penalties is going to more than hose that. Neither team was particularly impressive and a lot of the points were because of defensive penalities.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
