Winning On the Road

[DCH]

I'm sick over yesterday's loss, but I will say this: even the best teams shouldn't expect to go into another playoff team's home and beat them all the time, or without a big fight.

The Packers have dominated at home, and their two losses this year have been on the road at playoff teams.

The Vikings have dominated at home and lost on the road at the '9ers and Broncos.

The Falcons have lost on the road at New Orleans and, oddly, San Fran, while mostly dominating at home.

Last year's Super Bowl champs, the Patriots, lost 3 of their 4 games on the road and cleaned up at home.

Same with last year's Seahawks, lost 3 of their 4 games on the road and cleaned up at home.

The Rams have cleaned up at home this year, aside from the Steelers game, and are thus far 1-3 on the road, beating the Cardinals, losing to two playoff contenders (GB and Min) and the 'Skins. We need to be able to win our 4 remaining home games and take at least 2 of our road games - Ravens and '9ers being the most likely - but TLR, I'm not done with the season after yesterday's tough road loss to a very good team.

That loss to the Skins really stings even worse now than when it happened

Yesterday was going to be tough before we lost both starting DEs, our SS, a LB and our starting LG and RT. If they can get healthy a 6-2 finish is very doable.

Best thing I can say about that is it was the Rams era BG - Before Gurley.

Yep, the loss to the Redskins is what we really need to be pissed off about. Losing yesterday sucks bad, but had we taken care of business against Washington, we would be looking at 5-3.
