Default WHAT are the keys for the Pats to win against Baltimore?

First and foremost I think that our D has to contain the running game....stack the box.....and make Flacco beat us through the air. We need to also blitz often......We need to establish activity early with edelman or some other 3rd down or slot receptions to take their D off their game.........we need SOME other WR besides Moss to step up and make some big plays......we need the TE's to be involved ALOT!!! When is the last time we keyed on the TE on dump offs or for short yardage....I don't think we are utilizing them enough this season.... The OL needs to give Brady time and PROTECT HIM......IF Brady could get some time....he could make alot more plays....alot of his errors and misses come from matt light or Nick kaczur getting ***** slapped or laying down like pu$$ies....and Brady having no time to get something done......We need to also establish the run game.....Maroney....give him the rock.....what is the worst that can happen? Pats are being counted out by every talking head right now.....Give Maroney the ball.....and Taylor especially.....and please for the love of gawd OL.....BLOCK someone.......This team has RARELY played a complete game.........PLAY a complete game....get everyone playing on all cylinders......the secondary do NOT have to be incredible to win this game....they need to be only "good"........Flacco is not Brady.....their receivers are not their best weapons....their defense and their run game are.......We should win this game......GO PATS.......PS.....sorry for the rambling......

I think on D stop the run well enough to make them pass, and defend the pass well enough to get a turnover or two.
Oh, and GOOD tackling.

On O, if we can run well enough to get the Baltimore D respecting run, we'll be doing well. Play action, vertical passing, short passing, etc, will work from there. If we don't establish the run well enough, Baltimore's D will have a much easier time with our O and we could be in trouble.

very good points. ESTABLISH our running game......and DEFEND well against their running game.....THAT could very well be the key. Flacco is prone to make mistakes. Merriweather, Bodden, even springs.....are ready to accept those errors. Wilhite is a weak link and I would rather see Butler in there and lose...than see this guy burned over and over. Pats are gonna win......GO PATS!!!!!

Set up the pass with the run, play a balanced game offensively, get an early lead and force Baltimore to throw.

The offensive and defensive lines. Everything starts with these guys. If they play well, we won't lose.

Offensive key: Score more points than our defense allows

Defensive key: Hold the Ravens to fewer points than our offense scores.

Sometimes they are not always at the No. 1 position, but I don’t think you pass up good football players to get the guys who aren’t as good just because they’re at a position that somebody feels you need.”

For some reason, this Ravens D has been vulnerable against the run this year.

I haven't watched many Ravens games, but when I saw them against the Vikings, they gave up like their 4th straight 100 yard rusher.

Especially considering that teams go with multiple backs now(and not just 1 featured back anymore), giving up 100 yards to one particular runner says ALOT. Heck, even if any team doesn't give up a 100 yard runner for an entire year, it doesn't mean much.

an early lead
pressure on flacco
score enough points to absorb whatever the D gives up in the fourth quarter.
