You'll have to find one.
The Patriots have collapsed on the road against everyone they've played.
It's getting to the point where road games are like watching a faint hearted sprinter come busting out of the gate early - and stopping to a walk in the stretch.
Vrabel has been an awesome leader in Kansas City of that defense this year - he forced a huge fumble that helped win them the Browns game. Richard Seymour is a truly outstanding player that the defense has missed and he's helped the Raiders D out a lot. Guys like Brusci and Rodney Harrison aren't a dime a dozen.
I think the Pats still have outstanding coaching - but in these road games - it seems like they're just so much better prepared on both sides of the ball early on .... but as the game progresses - it becomes a horror show.
