This was old school Belichick, take away what they do best, and let them beat them with what they have left. It was obvious the Pats wanted to stop the Eagles running game, especially Leshon McCoy. The ground game that led the NFL in yard per game at 168 yards a game. Today the ended up with 73.
The Pats could care less if Vince Young, who ended up with 400 yards plus passing, passed the ball all over the field, the way to stop the Eagles was stop the run.
