They better be geared up. Here's the 3 things that MUST happen for them to have a chance..
1. Pressure on Brady. I'm looking at you Merriman, Castillio, Phillips. I don't care where it comes from. The Jaguars plan didn't work.. it was effective for 3 quarters but once they realized they were suffering a slow rather than quick death they failed to make adjustments. Lets face it, mixing up blitz packages is the onyl way to create a turnover against the Pats. Brady is too good when he gets 5 HOURS in the pocket.
2. LT, Turner, Sproles.. they must control the clock and eat, eat.. eat it away. Long drives. It'd be nice if Gates were healthy to pick apart the middle. The NE linebackers couldn't stick with him, safeties neither.
3. Something freaky. Whether it's a muffed punt, fumble from Maroney, whatever.. tipped ball that's deflected into the hands of Cromartie and returned 137 yards for a score.. they need it. The Pats usually win because of a lot of reasons, but this is one of them.. nothing freaky ever happens. How do you make it happen? Well, you can put hard licks on them, yes.. but hopefully someone on the Pats will finally screw up themselves for a change. Look at that pick in the end zone form Champ Bailey a few years back. Changed the whole game.
That is all. See you next week. Most likely getting ready for another Pats Super Bowl
