We have one of the best combos of offense and defense in the league, the issue we really need to address is our play on the road

For years now our points per game drops dramatically when we play outside of new orleans, we may have slightly answered some of those questions with a win vs philly in the playoffs, but brees still threw two picks and we squandered a 17 point lead and won by a FG.

Our play on the road needs to improve especially with how our schedule shapes up.

After Lewis knocked himself out of the game; they started moving the ball rather well on White and Sweeting. Before that they didn't have much success and only had 80 yards on 22 carries the whole game;

Very true, as soon as keenan went down Corey white got beat on the very next play.

When I talk about road games I tend to mean the offense more than the defense to be honest, Drew's QB rating drops significantly, he throws more picks on the road and our points per game drops by about 10 points.

Perfect examples of what I mean - NE patriots game, away game @carolina and NY jets game, all those games our offense failed at crucial moments.

We did just enough in philly to make up for keenan lewis knocking himself out, but it was real touch and go. If our offense can be as successful on the road as they are in the dome then that will take us a long way
