The Pats need to get Miami off the field, they need to stop them on third down. Miami did nothing tricky or unique, they simply outplayed the Pats, all day long.

They don't have to do anything different than week one. Knowshon Moreno is out for the season.

They have to play better than the dolphins in all three phases.
