I think you could get a good feel for New England's offense without ever really seeing it at all, actually. Just scout yourself, be honest about your weaknesses, decide how you'd attack it if it was your offense, and then assume that the Patriots are going to do that and do it very very well without mistakes.
It isn't rocket science. It boggles my mind that every other coach is so stubborn as to just "establish the run" against top run defenses or even poor ones that are playing unusually well... (and I have a feeling that there's a better than even chance that the Colts spend the entire week leading in to Week 6 fixated on stopping the run... when it's obvious to any thinker that the Patriots are going to come out and attack the middle of the field in the passing game because the Colts are so weak in coverage there. Brady could throw for 500 yards in that game. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't even run any running plays.)
