Patriots fans better hope the Steelers upset the Broncos:

2001 @ Pittsburgh - 24-17 Win

2004 @ Pittsburgh - 41-27 Win

2005 @ Denver - 13-27 Loss

2006 @ San Diego - 24-21 Win

2006 @ Indianapolis - 34-38 Loss

2013 @ Denver - 16-26 Loss

3 losses in the last 4 road playoff games.

I believe you are leaving out an AFC title game win vs Pittsburgh on the road but continue on with this useless thread.

 
Thread title implies that Brady is bad on the road in the playoffs: Curious if many players are better then .500 on the road in the playoffs. Here's this year's 12 Playoff QBs:

Brady: 3-3 on the road in playoffs

Peyton: 2-5 on the road in playoffs
Wilson: 2-2 on the road in playoffs
Rodgers: 4-4 on the road in the playoffs
Newton: 0-1 on the road in the playoffs
Smith: 1-2 on the road in the playoffs
Palmer: 0-0 on the road in the playoffs
Hoyer: 0-0 on the road in the playoffs
Mccaron: 0-0 on the road in the playoffs (Dalton 0-3)
Bridgewater: 0-0 on the road in the playoffs
Cousins: 0-0 on the road in the playoffs
Ben: 4-1 on the road in the playoffs (clearly the best)

So 1 of the 12 playoff qbs this year has a better road playoff record then Brady.

I could be wrong Deamon but I took this thread as more being a bit of light fluff about Brady being good on the road against Steelers but bad on the road against Denver, rather than it saying that Brady IS bad on the road overall.

Ie why Pats should hope the Steelers win.

Well he points out that Brady has lost "3 of the last 4 road playoff games" at the end of his message so I assumed he was implying that Brady and/or Pats should hope Pitt wins because they're not good on the road.

If Pitt won, they wouldn't be playing Pitt on the road anyways.

Good point. I think I would rather face Denver, their offense looks anemic

Ya especially with Brown likely back for a game next week. However, I still think you'd take the home game if you had the choice.

Everyone bashed Minny for beating GB in week 17 as it gave them a way worse matchup, but they were a gimme fg away from winning that home game and the way GB was playing they may have lost big on the road. I still think the Pats are cheering for Pitt so they can play at home.

 
Ben and the Steelers are without a doubt the best of the modern day road playoff teams. I believe Eli and the G-men have been pretty good too.

 
The point is, 3-3 is a very good playoff road record despite what the thread title is implying. Look at some of the top QBs of all time's road playoff records:

John Elway 3-2

Tom Brady 3-3

Johnny Unitis 2-2

Brett Favre 3-7

Peyton Manning 2-5
Joe Montana 2-5

Steve Young 1-3

Drew Brees 1-4
Dan Marino 1-6

Typo, sorry. Those guys are pretty meaningless anyways in this discussion.

 
I don't think it matters either way. The Patriots match up pretty well with both teams. If the Patriots play well they will win.

 
Brady's road playoff winning percentage is still higher than Manning's playoff winning percentage. But it's close.

 
Also he had nothing to do w/ '01 Pittsburgh & the Chargers DB choke/fumbled with the game won after an int with an 8pt lead. Though the aforementioned points that .500 is pretty good is obviously right.

Denver is historically a Patriots house of horrors, even prior to Brady. Just thinking off the top of my head, but the only wins I remember are the great win in 2003...vs. Danny Kanell, the win vs. Tim Tebow in 2011 and a "what the...?" win from out of the blue in 2000 against Elway's successor after the Pats had lost a bunch in a row.

Every year is a different situation, but I still hate watching the Pats have to go up there.

You guys are way too serious. There's hardly anything to knock about Brady, just bringing up one thing that could be considered a weakness.

Ya I just dont see it as a "weakness" is all. One of Brady's strengths is his road playoff record. 3-3 puts him as one of the all time bests.

Good point, I had forgotten that Bledsoe took over in the 2nd quarter.

And I have tried to burn McCree from my memory.

As mentioned, he's technically 2-3 since he left the '01 Steelers game in the 2nd quarter (they were up 7-3, however).

If he ends up 2-4 I don't think that's a strength.

And the 7 was off a punt return.

But yeah, while it seems weird for him to have only two road playoff wins (where he started and finished the game), part of being a great QB is you are usually on teams so good that you don't have to play a lot of games on the road in January (as shown by the records of other all-time greats on the road).

Well even discounting that one, 2-3 is still in the upper tier of the top 10 qbs of all time. I think they'd rather play in Denver then vs a potentially healthy steelers team. Either way I guess we'll see how he does this week!

 
His actual stats in road playoff games:

118/198 (59.6%), 1452 yards, 7 TD, 6 INT, passer rating 81.5.

His passer rating is #15 among QBs with at least 100 passing attempts on the road in the playoffs. He's behind Colin Kaepernick and Jeff George. (By the way, #1 is Ben Roethlisberger, which is probably not surprising). So he's been pretty mediocre in those situations.

 
Guess how many TD passes Manning threw at home this season? Give you a hint: you can count them with the number of rings he has.

Exactly this. If he's a great QB and on great teams, he's often not really had many road playoff games. In his last 13 playoff games (not counting Super bowl games which are neutral sites), only 1 has been on the road.

Games that are on the road are either when he has a low seed and not the best team, or have reached the AFC title game vs a great team. It's a ridiculous stat to look at as I'm sure almost all qbs (with the exception of a few) are better at home then on the road.

And again, he is better on the road then favre, marino, unitis, brees, montana, young, manning, etc. Give me anyones top 10 qbs of all time list and he's in the top 2 when ranked by playoff road record. My only point is that 3-3 on the road in the playoffs is not a week point when looking at all factors. And if he wins this week like he should, his 4-3 will be one of the best qb records on the road in nfl history.

Tom definitely loses points for beating the #### out of everyone else during the regular season and ending up with homefield, regular season performance literally the only thing Chicken Parm is praised for.

Brady has more touchdown passes in Denver this year than Manning.

Not a chance. Brady had one game with 4 interceptions playing in Denver as a rookie, but other than that he has played pretty well there. In 8 games in Denver, he has averaged 286 yards passing with 15 TD and 7 interceptions. 61% completion rate. 92.6 QB rating.

Since that crappy game as a rookie, Brady has averaged almost 300 yards a game and a smidge under 100 for a QB rating. NE's record may be poor playing in Denver, but it hasn't been Brady's fault too often.
