Re: How can we pull it off?
 

I believe that Taylor will make deep plays much more difficult for Moss. The guy who scares me is Welker killing us underneath and Watson deep down the middle of our 2 deep zone. We almost certainly will need to start in nickel given all of Brady's weapons.

On offense, I'd like to see us use 3 and 4 WR sets to spread the field. If Moss is still in his funk, Gibbs should give Lloyd a shot to stretch the defense. If the Skins don't approach 30 points this week, they will lose by 2 TDs or more. It's time to open up Saunders' 700 page playbook and trust Campbell to make plays. Campbell will have to play better than he did against Detroit for us to have a realistic shot in NE.

[quote=SFREDSKIN;367169]By resting Washington and Rabach I give us a chance, they did the smart thing. Next week you put McCardell into the mix, activate as many DB's as possible and make sure the hurt ones can play, if they can't, then bench them for the week. The key to this game is containing the WR's, Welker is the one to watch, he's their X-factor, we need to get the running game going, Cooley more involved. We need to play with intensity (treat this game like a playoff game). I seriously think that we have a chance, especially after a subpar game by our offense today.[/quote]


WE should go into every game as if it was a playoff game or at least with some intensity.

The only way we have a snowballs chance in hell is to play from behind.

Re: How can we pull it off?
 

You can't just Blitz Brady...its got to be a perfect blitz otherwise he'll pick you apart. We should do what we did against the Lions and the Packers and just hope for the best.

As for our O against their D...hey, stop with the dump off shit and go after them with everything you got (deep passes to the WRs and Cooley up the middle and on the side lines). I mean you got nothing to lose but a game you're probably going to lose if you keep playing the way you've been playing.

We are going to pick Caldwells brain and get the signals!

Re: How can we pull it off?
 

The only way we can win is if NE turns it over, or they stop playing at the current level they are playing at and we play our best.

Re: How can we pull it off?
 

Let Caldwell play DB and tell the rest of the D what Brady is audibling to.
If we can old the Pats to under 30 for the first time this year then the league will have to say we are the best D.

Re: How can we pull it off?
 

i think we will have to be blitzing alot, while playing 2 safteys deep which can be hard with the quick slants they run over the middle.... tackling will be a huge factor for us, the pats wr's get alot of yac yards for td's i think if we play sound fundementally its a start... our running game if we can get it going that will be good, but i honestly think we need to pass, and pass deep more than run the ball this week... if our defense plays like they are capable and the pats only score 2-3 td's on offense we will have a real chance..

Re: How can we pull it off?
 

Plain and simple: To stand any chance at all the offense has to get more than 5 first downs in the 2nd half. Not only would that keep Brady and Co. off the field, but it would hopefully keep the defense from getting as tired as they appeared to in the Giants and Cards games.

That and break Brady's leg.

Re: How can we pull it off?
 

Bad weather would probably help us have a chance. I think if we can sustain drives and win the turnover battle we have a shot. Honestly we'll need something close to a miracle to get a win in Foxboro. So everyone pray ALOT!

Re: How can we pull it off?
 

Keep drives movin which equals putting up points and Brady off the field, as much as possible. Our D will do there part.

Any given Sunday....IMO they haven't played a D with what we bring to the table.

Re: How can we pull it off?
 

We have crazy good splits against No. 2 and No. 3 receivers this year.

You can go around complimenting Brady's historic performance in his first 7 games, and rightfully so, but the pressure is on [I]Brady[/I] to keep it up against his toughest test yet. If we force him to be patient, can he keep himself from forcing it and turning the ball over?

To win this game, we are going to have to score a lot of points on offense, and to do that, we have to get the OL problem fixed. If Rabach plays, then I think we have a chance to do so.

Re: How can we pull it off?
 

meh, we have a legitiment shot either way. ... we just need the offense to click, and great defense, thats all... its a winnable game, we just have to play our best game of the season on both sides of the ball

Re: How can we pull it off?
 

Oh hell, we're pretty damn screwed...we're playing away against the #1 offense in the league assisted by the #3 defense in the league.

Ahem. If you're referring to NE's defense (as I believe you are), then you should know it is the #2 defense in the league.:silly:

But seriously, to have any hope of winning in NE Brady will have to go down to injury in the first quarter. I'm not saying I hope for it because that's just plain wrong, but it is the simple truth.
