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.

And if the Saints were 7-0 on the road and 3-4 at home some of you would still be pissing and moaning!

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.
