"It's tough to win games on the road."
Is that really true right now? How many fans did Indy have? 5,000?
You're not dealing with an exactly hostile crowd, you're not dealing with struggling to hear the snap count, etc.
It really doesn't seem like to me, that home or way matters all that much this year. It would be one thing if we had to go 2k miles out West, and had to deal with the time difference and jet lag. But Indy is about 100 miles away.
Winning on the road can be tough, in normal seasons. This season? Not as much.
Dwelling on the home vs. away angle can often be seen an excuse. (Good teams still win on the road.) But in 2020 it almost seems like an embarrassment to even mention it.
Because you are only focusing on fan noise, in your hatred of all things Taylor. You also have to throw in travel, sleeping in a hotel bed, eating sack lunches and dinners because they (the NFL) will not trust restaurants, not in your facility, etc etc etc. Fan noise is only one factor.
