A few are unhappy after a win.

I'm also noticing several posts about us being unable to win it all, which I think is very shortsighted.

Below is a copy of the Giants 2011 run which includes some dubious losses earlier in the year.

If they can do it, why can we not?

Well, those 2011 Giants didn't average a whopping 10 points fewer on the road than they did at home. That's significant. I'd also love to know what the Giants' stats were on 3-and-outs, on offense that year. It's hard for people wearing black and gold goggles to understand it, but on the road this year, the Saints offense are very AVERAGE -- as in, middle of the pack, ordinary, 20-21 points per game -- they've been really nothing special on the road, outside the Superdome... And now with having to win multiple games on the road almost certain, and with a Super Bowl outdoors up North in January, and with several other teams that are offensively moving the ball and scoring points much better than the Saints right now... the Saints can do it, but once they leave the comforts of the Superdome it will involve reversing every single trend they've shown on the road so far this year. Even against Atlanta their production was marginal at best.
