Saints have players that know what it takes to win road playoff game
But there are individuals on the roster who have experienced triumph on the road in the playoffs, veterans who say the Saints (11-5) have what it takes to win at Lincoln Financial Field.
“First and foremost, you’ve just got to know that the intensity level goes up,” said left guard Ben Grubbs, who this season earned his second Pro Bowl berth. Grubbs was a Baltimore Raven from 2007-11, and helped his team win road playoff games in Miami and Tennessee in 2008, against in New England in 2009 and at Kansas City in 2010. “The fact that if you lose and you go home – it’s a big deal,” Grubbs said. “The focus picks up, the intensity, the enthusiasm – you’ve just got to carry all of that on the road when you win. I think that’s what we’re going to do. “We’ve got a new step to our walk, we’re changing up some things, we’re going to go in there believing that we are a good team and we have what it takes to win.” John DeShazier: Saints have players that know what it takes to win road playoff game |
"A Veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America" for an amount of "up to and including my life."

Re: Saints have players that know what it takes to win road playoff game
The difference on the road is that brees throws dumbass picks and we completely abandon the run, thats why we lose games away from home

I would say the turnovers are a helluva bigger reason for losing on the road than not running!

Is getting the 1st down more important than the clock stopping if it is incomplete. Don't call double reverses or screen plays to a 3rd string TE, especially if it is 4th down! |

Drew needs to set the bar, Drew at home: 27 TD 3 INT, Drew away 12 TD 9 INT, and a defensive touchdown to swing momentum would be nice.
