In the Payton-Brees era, what does the forum think is the reason for the Saints road playoff losses?

We have lost to the Bears, (2006 NFCC game), PEDhawks, (2010 Divisional playoffs), and 40-whiners, (2011 Divisional playoffs).

Against the Bears, it was turnovers and because the Saints abandoned the run game...

Against the PEDhawks, it was turnovers, and failure of the defense...

Against the 40-whiners, it was turnovers, (I am sensing a trend here), plus GW calling the wrong defense at the end of the game.

Except against the Bears, the Saints were winning late in those games.

In 2010 the Saints scored 36 and in 2011 they scored 32, so I don't think scoring is an issue.

Since the 'hawks and whiners had to come from behind to win, if the defense makes a play or two, the Saints probably win those two games.

In case anyone is wondering about time of possession, the Saints lead in 2 out of 3. In '06 it 25:45-35:15, '10 32:01-27:59, & in '11 31:20-28:40

That leaves turnovers.

In 2010 the Saints fumbled twice and lost one and picked off one pass.

In 2011 the Saints lost 3 fumbles and had 2 passes intercepted.

Since I have a firm grasp of the obvious, when the Saints quit committing turnovers, they will stop losing playoff games, as well as the majority of regular season games.
