^^^Almost like, what he said.

It seems mental to me. I mean did we scare ourselves talking about the past? I just don't see how anything about being on the road in a fairly quiet dome -- hurt us.

I think it is absolutely mental.

1st two possessions of the Jets game - Missed FG and an Interception
1st two possessions of the Seattle game - 3 and out, fumble ret for TD
1st two possessions of the Rams game - Interception and Interception

Rams played balls out. They played with nothing to lose, why not pull out all the stops. They did some gutsy stuff from the get go and got into the Saints' heads. That's all.

I'll take a stroll down memory lane, and add to that:

1st three possessions of the 49ers (2012 playoff) game: fumble, 3 and out, INT, 49ers up 17-0

Almost all of these "famous" road game losses, they dig themselves into a hole early and that's it, it's all over
