How can Tom Brady and the Bucs be slowed down? It's a familiar formula. The Patriots, meanwhile, have first-quarter issues.

Hard to argue with that.

Pats fatal flaws:

- RunD, specifically Godchaux and Bentley.
- Lack of bench man-cover DBs if another body goes down.
- oc going away from power-run 12 personnel in favor of crappy red-zone-inept spread shotgun.

Bills weaknesses
1. can't stop the run on defense
2. can't run on offence
3. local weather, fans and coach are blow hards
