I actually think opening on the road isn't terrible. Think of it this way: the first game of the regular season is huge for ALL TEAMS. Everyone is jacked and fired up because they are playing their first real game in a year. So you open up on the road, but who cares? The team is primed and pumped. You go to week 2 or 3 and you finally get your home opener which is now special because your home team crowd is pumped for the first real game at home.
Beating the Jets last year in NEW JERSEY on the anniversary of 9/11 was huge. That showed me they can win anywhere (almost). Hell, I hope if they open the year away it's in Pittsburgh, Green Bay or Denver.
