I believe that the difference in this game could come down to two things.
1. The running game- This is the game we need to see the dominant Laurence Maroney we need to see the legs churning for extra yards the stiff arms, the change direction skills, we need to see him more involved with the passing game like he was last week. He needs to just hit the hole and stop dancing in the backfield cause with a cover 2 this will almost result in a loss every time.
Kevin Faulk could be a huge factor to get Bob sanders and the Bethea to have to stick with him on 3rd downs which will open up the middle for Watson and Brady or welker or even allow single coverage to one Moss or Stallworth.
We have to make the Colts respect our ground game.
I would love to see Morris back this week but also I wouldn't rush him back before he is fully recovered either.
2. Special Teams nobody here wants a AV field goal to be the deciding factor.
On the same note no pats fan wants it to come down to a Gostowski field goal as well. Field position will be a even bigger factor this game then it has all year. Hobbs and Andrews are really good returners that being said the colts have some nice returners of their own and that fact isn't being forgotten by BB trust me.
I'd rather see Chad Jackson activated this week to a be a gunner rather than Matt Guiterrez. Hanson is gonna not have a lot of chances to punt I believeBB and Co will go for it on 4th and short a lot especially if we're past midfield.
So we can't afford any touchbacks we need to pin em deep.
3.I'm gonna add one more The offensive line can not afford to let Freeney or Mathis or Brock beat them. Freeney is a master of the swim spin move and no matter how dumb it looks is a great way to get to the QB and something I don't believe Light can defend to well so I want to have Brady there at least on every 3rd and long to chip him.
The Patriots defensive line has to control their gaps let no wiggle room for Addai or Keith, get their hands up and jump and try to knock down a few of Peyton gumps passes.
I might have more later but this is what i've come up with for now as keys to victory alot of the pundits aren't talking about.
