Winning on the Road in the NFL

Atlanta is one of four teams that have played four road games this season. (Atlanta, Indianapolis, Detroit and San Diego) Atlanta and Indy are both 2-2. Detroit and San Diego are both 0-4.

2010:

Nine teams have yet to win a road game this season.

Nine teams currently have a winning road record.

By contrast:

Seventeen teams currently have a winning home record.

2009:

Nine teams finished the regular season with a winning road record.

Ten teams won 2 or less road games last year.

Twenty-four teams finished 2009 with a .500 home record or better.

The NFL was a combined 110-146 on the road last season.

----------------------

We have already played half of our road games for the entire 2010 season. Our remaining road games are St. Louis, Tampa, Carolina and Seattle.

Tampa has only played two road games this season.

The Saints have future road games in Carolina, Dallas, Cincy, Baltimore and Atlanta.

It doesn't excuse last week (there's a difference between losing a hard-fought game on the road and being pummeled on the road), but I can't pretend that that information isn't at least a little calming. Thanks for the research! :)

I never saw our boys lay down. We were definitely outplayed and out-coached. This is the only game I've seen our boys look that bad during the current regime. Philadelphia is a good ball club. They came out with a great game plan to counter our speedy defense. They took great advantage of their opportunities....especially the wind in the first qtr. I can tip my hat to the Eagles and know the Falcons are a better team than was on display last Sunday. Putting too much credence in that one game doesn't make sense. We're still atop the division and the conference. I'll take that.

My sentiments exactly!

However, I'm over it (kind of) and ready for a win this week against Cincy.

Nice post with some actual research, after reading all this complaining about Robunson's hit.

Thanks

Oh, so will I. Don't mind me, I'm just still bitter about watching that debacle in person. :P I know for sure we're a better team than we showed.
