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

That loss to the Seahawks hurt. To me it's the one that stands out as nearly unforgivable. The Whiners game hurt too, but not like losing to the Seahawks did. The Bears game - we were young and two years ahead of Sean's 5 year plan at the time, so that one doesn't sting.

It is what it is. One way I can think to fix it tho...

The thing that pisses me off to the heights of pisstivity on the loss to the PEDhawks is that the Saints lost to a playoff team with a losing record!

Its offense. Though usually D loses games away for the Saints historically. The D is playing worse than at home, again, but the suprise is that the O has started to play equally bad on away games.
In 2011 with injuries Saints put 36 pts on the seahawks, that should be a win, but the D folded again, and its a loss.
In 2012 with injuries saint put 32 pts on the 49ers, that should be a win, but the D folded again, and its a loss.

You combine the D playing at even a #10 level, and the O falling apart on away games, you get blow outs or close losses.
For the 1st time, Im not seeing the dominate #1 offense for the last 6 years. O looks confused and unable to recover on the road. Brees has lost a few games.
Bree says " We expect to score on every drive" its possible that they are to egotistical, because of success, and think they will. So, when diversity happens they are unable to cope.
