I understand your concern with this yr's road woes, and I am concerned too, but remember we had leads at DEN, IND, MIA, NO, so it's not like we haven't been competitive.
Our losses are by 1, 1, 3, and 7--all within a score (not counting the NO) game. Even the blowout we were about to go up 14-3 or at least 10-3, and were still only down 31-24 in the 3rd. Had our secondary and pass rush played better, we would've been right in there.
I think the majority of the road woes can be attributed to simply having some bad luck/bad breaks, and not being able to finish. I don't think we are on any level as bad as the road record suggests. I don't know about you, but I expected a home loss or 2--so it all balances out anyway.
All I know is that we're in a good position to have a decent stretch run, and possibility go to the playoffs. Once there, anything can happen.
I believe you bring a lot to the boards with your threads, and understand your frustrations, etc--but...I wouldn't be surprised if you get flamed pretty hard by some that aren't as patient. I can see why some would think ANY comparisons to the 1990 Pats are a bit on the pessimistic side.
