Team is vastly underachieving. But to the team's credit, they have played 4 of their first 6 games on the road. This team has not been very good on the road in the SP/Brees era. Discounting the Dallas beat-down, those other 3 losses were by a combined 6 points.

These road games came against teams that actually play well at home.

Dallas: 3-1 at home (6-1 overall)...we got spanked there by 21
Detroit: 3-1 at home (5-2 overall)...we lost by 1 in final minutes...hell, Mighty Green Bay went in there and scored 1 TD...in 4 quarters.
Atlanta: 2-1 at home (2-5 overall)...we lost by 3 in OT
Cleveland: 2-1 at home (3-3 overall)...we lost by 2 on last play of game

In my opinion (ewww), this 2014 Saints team has played as well on the road as in the past with just a couple of plays determining their outcome.

Should we have beaten ATL, CLE, DET? Abso-freakin'-lutely. Last minute break-downs and lapses in concentration cost us those games. Can these things get fixed? Abso-freakin'-lutely. Will they get fixed? A betting man would take Sean Payton to fix it more times than not. We got the right leader for this kind of job...
