Re: si.com compares home Joe vs. road Joe
My only quibble is that 2 plays is a joke of a study sample. Who knows, he may be right; but it's impossible to tell just because he found one play on the road where Flacco didn't let the long play develop.
"A lot" is a two word expression denoting a great deal or greatly, as in "I like sunshine a lot." "Alot" is a lovable imaginary grammar monster. You can love a lot; you can love an alot; you can love alots a lot; but they are not the same thing.

Re: si.com compares home Joe vs. road Joe
That's basically what I was trying to say except I was maybe giving the author the benefit of the doubt, that maybe he was just showing those 2 examples of the proposed problem but that he may have actually seen it several times. He tries to back it up with statistics so I assumed he was using those 2 plays as indicators of the bigger picture. I agree with Alien on the whole though, Joe doesn't seem to lack in the confidence department to me either.

Re: si.com compares home Joe vs. road Joe
Could just be a mix of things: the play-calling, Joe not wanting to gamble as much when the game is close, execution from the WR/OL/RB, and of course the OTHER team's D-Line. Remember, they are playing at away and the other guys have the crowd and often the momentum on their side, especially if they've got Pro Bowlers on there. Some places are harder to win at than others. M&T, Heinz, the Falcon's place, and Seattle come to mind. The Ravens have faced some very good Defenses away this year with the Steelers being ranked num 1, texans 6, and chargers at 10. They're all a bit better ranked than the Ravens (low 20s) so im trying to keep things in perspective a little.
