Re: We need to win on the road
It's not just that the Saints "can't win on the road" (although right now it seems they can't). It's that THIS YEAR, the Saints aren't even scary or intimidating on the road -- absolutely no one is afraid to have them come into their house. They're averaging 18 ppg on the road, which is pretty mediocre, and that probably went down last night. Even the most average team (the Rams, Jets) can usually score more than 18 points at home. For a good playoff caliber team, it's a chance to feast. Not good.

Re: We need to win on the road
I really don't get it. How in the world is there SUCH a disparity between this team at home and on the road? I understand Home Field Advantage but we are just pathetic away from the dome. I don't get it.
The old formula of "win at home, split on the road" should be enough to win your division. We had a great chance at that but blew it by losing to bad teams on the road, namely the Jets and Rams. And we haven't just lost, we've looked AWFUL. We can still do it with a win over the Panthers but if we can't beat the freaking Rams on the road a week after they lost by, what, 30 points or something? I don't like our chances. |

I've heard numerous times that great teams strive to win their home games and split on the road. We're exactly on pace for that. |

But we lost all four road games against the two divisions we played between jets, pats, seahawks, and rams. |

I'll answer that. They haven't lost a game by any more than 7 points and one of them was very close in overtime. They've been IN every single one of them, which means they are COMPETITIVE on the road. I hate to burst your bubble, but the Saints, there's just nothing intimidating or scary about them on the road, this year. They are very average on the road, very beatable, and teams are not afraid of them. For good reason. |

The Saints don't get any style points, or extra draft picks if they win road games by 20+ points. I thought the object of the exercise was to get into the playoffs! Considering how the Saints finished last year AND that we are perfect in the division, and one game from being .500 on the road, I am happier than a dog with 2 tails. I am not saying that there aren't issues, but there are a lot of teams that would swap places with the Saints in a New York second if they could. |
