Play mistake free boring football. You don't want to get in a shootout with these guys if you can avoid it. Get Betts and Portis the ball early and often.
NE is sturdy up front and we are not going to go in and run them over. It's just not going to happen. That ball control Gibbs 1 crap is not going to work against NE. We had better try and challenge these guys in the air game. Cooley should be able to have a big day against Harrison. Harrison could not cover Witten one bit.
Plus NE is the best coached team in the NFL. They are not going to let us run the ball. They are going to make us try and throw it cause they know we don't like throwing it.

Our D needs to play all 4 quarters, I really think that the skins can win this one. No one is giving the skins a chance. NE has not played a great D yet this year they have played:
Jets, Chargers, Bills, Bengals, Browns, Cowboys and Dolphins. 4 of the six have the worst defenses in the league. We control the game with our D and our running game and force Brady to make mistakes. The browns even with a crappy defense showed you can shut down R. Moss, and we have the corners to shut down the other two WR (Stallworth, Walker). I think McIntosh will have a HUGE game, and hope that M. Washington is back.

If we keep it with in 14 isn't that a victory?
honestly, I have no clue how to stop NE. now with Maroney back their running game is very tough. I say we take our chances and bring pressure. Brady is very accurate when given the time in the pocket. Those 15-20 yard seem routes are always open with the cover 2/3 we play. That will be like taking candy from a baby with the receivers they have. Disrupt his timing with blitz's from every direction, play up on the receivers at the line to disrupt their routes and hope we can get to him before he gets the ball off. Offensively, spread them out w/ 3 or 4 wide outs, make the LBs cover our quicker receivers & cooley, mix in some runs and screens and try to score 50.

they are kind of like the rams from a couple of years ago. for some reason, they just will not run the ball. and that power house rams offense? i seem to remember an average skins team going into St Louis on a Monday night, and coming away with a win. i think the skins can win. and Matty, please pass the kool aid :)
Another order of Kool aide here as well!
Keep everybody back in coverage with extra DB or LB help. Force them to beat us on the ground. Keep our O on the field pounding the ball. Finish off the drives with 6.
Keep their O off the field
Our D is the best thay have faced this year.
Lately, they have been vulnerable against the run(if they did not put up 60 points a game).
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can
