How can we pull it off?

Our o-line is going to have to play amazing, which I doubt will happen and we need to pressure the crap out of Brady.

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.

I lay it all on our defense. Let our D line provide most of the pressure through out the game with a safty blitz sprinkled here and there. I expect the key is HARD hitting. Our secondary needs to lay the wood on the Pats receivers. We need to get in the receivers heads instead of Bradys. Bradys proven hes a true vet. Hes seen alot and beat most of it. We need to force the Pat receivers to flinch, drop some balls and stall some drives.

With our offense, we need to continue to stay with what we have been doing and cross our fingers, at least for the 1st half. It has shown it has been working the past few games. If our defense shows it can contain the Pat offense, I would show up in the 2nd half throwing the ball more. I honestly think this would catch the Pats off guard and allow 1 or 2 big plays. Enough to end this game. We have been perdictable in the 2nd half, this is the perfect game to finally buck this trend. If the Pats start getting ahead like the other teams they have played, then we will have no choice to air it out. Though I would expect the Skins to lose. The offense is not established enough to play the Pats game and expect to win.

Finally, we need the special teams to put in their two cents here. They have been play pretty good ball, except maybe the kicking. A big play would definately give a good edge for the skins to win, but this side of the ball is to unpredictable to count on this. Good field position is all I hope for and expect.
