Default no turnovers !

No turnovers what so ever and SCORE FIRST,, ie 7 points. My money is Denver turnover at least 3. Protect Tom is also essential but that always is anyway in a game. This game is about being in front and putting pressure on Plummer to throw. Cheers and good luck. GO PATS.
PEACE. Abdul

As a diehard Broncos fan, I believe I have seen pretty much everything and therefore know where they are vulnrable. I agree with the importance to stop Denver's run but even if you end up giving up 150 yards there, I don't see Denver being able to score more than 21 points against your tough defense. At the very most, it will take time off the clock but not necessarily put points on the board. That being said, I agree with the person who said the most important thing was to protect Brady. If the pats do this on even a semi-consistant basis, they will score at least 24 points and ultimately get the win.

However, thinking about how Denver got to Tom in the first half of last game, I changed my mind. They were all over him using straight up rushes or blitz packages.

My #1 key to the game is to keep Tom clean. We have to stop the pressure from Devers D-line and pick up the blitzes. Corey is one of the best RB for picking up the blitz. So, even if he doesn't have a great game running the ball, his blitz pick up should be vital.

I expect the Pats to have both Graham and Watson on the field at the same time. Throw to the TE's to keep the LB's honest and allow the Pats to run the ball. Keep the Broncos offense off of the field.

I hope so. Graham has not been a factor since his shoulder injury. But, if he's getting better, that will be huge.

It is easier said than done to be sure but it is all about stopping the run.

If you stop the run, you not only take away the run, you take away the passing game the Broncos like to use as well. If you take away the run, the play action, the bootlegs, rollouts, etc. all go away for Denver. Jake would have to drop back and throw from the pocket which he just isn't very good at.

I am sort of with you, Nut. My thought is ball protection. No interceptions and no fumbles. I would like to see a couple of quick hits by Brady to put the Ponies on their backs early.

Coaches Belichick and Mangini thank you

they had a mental block and were unable to get their game plan together without these points

I don't have the tape of the first Denver game but that was just Kaczur's 3rd game at LT and we had Pass as the starting RB. Kaczur has now started 11 games since then so he's much more comfortable at LT and working with Mankins so blitzing and general pass rush should bother him (them) less. Add to that an actual run threat with Dillon/Faulk (I know Pass did well in that Denver game but he was no threat going into the game, as soon as they saw him in I doubt they were thinking run much) and I'm not worried about pressure. Looking at the Jacksonville stats, I'm shocked to see they had 4 sacks because I don't remember them. But Jacksonville is among the league leaders in sacks and we generally protected Brady very well. Denver is near the bottom in sacks and I expect the now veteran left side to do fine and I hope Denver brings extra guys. That said, the OL will have some problems with communication due to noise but overall they should be fine.

No doubt for me, the #1 key is stopping the run. Sure, Plummer has had a good season and making them pass plays into our biggest weakness, defending the pass. But I'm confident we'll make enough plays if we get them into 3rd and 5+ consistently, especially as we won't need our #3 and #4 CB in too much and that's our biggest weakness.
I invite you to visit "Jax: Abbreviated Break Down" where I report that Tommy's sacks were mostly coverage sacks, he consistently held the ball 4-5 seconds before being sacked. Further, Mankins was a force and was all over making plays and hitting people.

Duh Box's quays to da game:

1. Dominate the Line Of Scrimmage:
- Ram Dillon down their throats, use Ashworth and the TE's to beat up on their front seven. Force them to play 8 in the box.
- Faulk them, no lube.
- Willie, Wilfork, and Colvin; set the edge and seal the middle.

2. Field Position:
- The coverage units need to be disciplined in their lanes.
- NO HOLDING PENALTIES - NO BLOCKS IN THE BACK - KEEP YOUR GOAT BRAINED HEADS IN THE GAME
- KR/PR run North and South.

3. Hit somebody.

Key to the game: Score first. Everything else falls into place if playing with a lead.
