Why is everyone in the media dogging on our play on the road???

Most times ANY team would take .500 on the road and 6 wins at home. It means you're a 10 win team and more than likely in the postseason dance.


We have a chance (and a good one) to finish 5-3 on the road.

Take a look at our "horrid" road record:

at GB (lost) - Lost due to a fumble and getting stuffed at the goal line at the end of the game vs the 13-0 Packers and defending champs. Yeah, that sure is something to be ashamed of...

at Jax (won) - beat a much better Jax team than Atlanta saw a couple of days ago, and beat them by 2 scores.

at Car (won) - beat a division rival that always gives us fits and at the time Cam and the boys there were playing well, albeit not winning many

at TB (lost) - too many turnovers against a division foe that was playing MUCH better at this point in their season.

at Rams (lost) - horrible, just plain horrible. I think this is the rotten egg the media likes to smell when talking about our chances away from home. Oh to have this one over...

at Falcons (won) - Beat a good Falcons team that will win a playoff game (against the NFC East champ)

at Titans (won) - Beat a playoff contender on crappy turf that was desperate for a win and loose with the coin with the refs.


Sorry, maybe it is my black & gold glasses, but that ain't bad in my book.

As long as we don't have to play any winless teams in the playoffs I think we'll be OK and have a shot at the whole enchilada...

I'm with you man. I actually gave our defense credit for winning crucial games for us in the end, which they did by stepping up and making stops when they counted the most, at ends of games. I still say they continue to get better and better, as will our running game, going into the playoffs so we can make that final push to beat the Packers and get back to the SB again! Watch!
