My 5 keys to this game - New England Patriots Forums

1. Limit Altanta's running game to 75 yards or less. And the Patriots running the ball fro over 100 yard.
2. Don't let Gonzales hurt us. Sure tackling on him and don't let him get open down the field.
3. Limit penalties. Last week penaties hurt us as much as the Jets. 3 drives were either FG's or a punt after getting deep in Jets territory then getting backed up by penalties. The Jets also scroed a FG after it looked like they were stopped because of a penalty.
4. No turnovers for the Patriots and create 2 turnovers.
5. Protect the franchise. Sacks are a nice stat but QB hits and hurries are more important. Keep Tom clean.!!!!

Don't even need all of those to win (obv, it'd be better, but).

If they win the turnover battle and keep Gonzales out of the endzone, they should be OK. Anyone else think Moss was only on the injury report so that 50% of the Moss-Welker combo plays and they can say,"questionnable is 50-50"... ?
