I've done nothing of the sort. I'm using the same screen name here as I have on patsfans. [Reply]
how can Patriots fans be this dense. Just admit it man, seriously we had two easy wins this year because we had the Raiders in our division. You had the Jets and the Bills who are garbage this year thats 4 wins gifted to you. Miami should have been another 2 but you suck on the road. [Reply]

..which is why I've stated in earlier posts it means jack shit.
We waxed the Chargers at home
You guys blew vs the Chargers at home.
Different teams. Different matchups. Different circumstances. Injured players. Schemes, etc. Its meaningless.
Which is why its best to look at each game at its own season than say, The Pats suck one the road" or "the Chiefs defense sucks". Its dumb. There is no analysis just a general perception. [Reply]

Go ahead and tell me HFA doesn't matter...
HFA doesn't hurt but you win when you play well. You lose when you don't.
Look at your playoff wins/losses at home/away over the last few years and tell me how much HFA helped. TN? Nope. Pitt? Nope. You beat @HOU b/c you were the better team. We beat KC in 2015 b/c we played better. You were killing @Indy in 2014 and you stopped playing. BAL in 2010? Nope.
We had HFA vs BAL in 2012 and got our brains beat in. Why? No Gronk and Talib, we didn't convert on 3rd down and we turned the ball over. We lost to a better team.

See my point?
You don't understand how stats work do you? Just because KC has lost at home in the past doesn't mean that HFA doesn't exist. The data doesn't lie.
Since 2003 all but 7 teams are at least .500 at home. During the same period only 8 teams were .500 or better on the road. [Reply]

They most certainly mailed it in vs MIA.
The 2018 Pats have had a tough time getting up for games on the road. That what happens to teams that have been kicking ass for 18 years.
Don't call me a tool. I've been respectful on this board. I expect the same courtesy.
When I decide to lead a troll invasion to your fucking board, then I'll worry about offending your delicate parts. Until then, however, you can go fist yourself. [Reply]

I understand how stats work perfectly. Reality is better.
You lost at home in the playoffs. We lost at home in the playoffs. Looking at trends and statistics is all well and good only with context.
