OK, your the coach for the NE game how do we beat them?

[Mitchy moo]

Offense: Run ML as much as possible and when they stack the box, do a shotgun formation and bomb it over their heads.

Defense: Blitz Brady on every odd down and force his hand, add in 1 scoop of Digi and 2 scoops of the 12th man's noise.

ST: Play our usual flawless game.

Scoring more points than their team?

Re: OK, your the coach for the NE game how do we beat them?

I disagree one million percent.

Blitzing him every play is a sure recipe for disaster and pretty much guarenteed to get 40 dropped on you. That would create far too many one on one matchups that Brady will exploit to death.

The ONLY way to win the battle defensively is somehow get pressure with your front four, WITHOUT a lot of blitzing, and try to get Brady into forcing too many balls which could lead to mistakes. Make him get impatient and greedy, and unwilling to take what we give him. Make them go 80 yards down the field on us. Don't get Moss, Stallworth and Welker into single open field matchups we can't and won't win.

The Colts did this great last week for 3 quarters, frustrating him with a strong pass rush from Freeney and Mathis, and they had him bottled up and picked off two passes. in the end of course, they were just too strong.

I never said every play, I said every odd down (1 / 3). You have to force his hand or the ball will get to his receivers.

Re: OK, your the coach for the NE game how do we beat them?

You frustrate him by playing a patient cover two and make him move the chains little by little. You open it up with a lot of blitzing, (which NE is excellent at picking up and Brady always seems to know whats coming) he will absolutely MURDER you.

Your right about the front 4 pressure, 100% right. If they get in their without blitzing, we'll have a better shot of winning.

Re: OK, your the coach for the NE game how do we beat them?

I'd throw a CB heavy secondary at them and dare them to grind it out with a running game. The Bills lately are better against the run and this would provide the Bills better coverage on their obvious strength. I would zone blitz and corner blitz them, but be careful with the number of times you try it. I'd throw the kitchen sink at them with punt blocks called and trying squib kicks that their "up men" would have to field on the run. What do the Bills have to lose if they go exotic for this game... be imaginative and let it all hang out. The Bills are simply not in their class YET, however, we also aren't in the Cowboys class either, and minus an onside kick we wiped their a$$e$ too! Please, oh Please don't let those smug bastards empty the Ralph Sunday... stay and root to the bitter end!!!! GO BILLS!

Exactly- EVERY time Brady's been sacked this season, they rushed 5. The best way to do it is to hope the front 4 play well (use the "creep" D) and disguise where that 5th is coming from.

On offense, run Lynch but use the play action, quick passes- I know they're not JP's strong suit but it's our only hope. Use the run game and close passes to tighten up the D, then go long and pray it works.

I think our only hope is to get a ST score and hope Moorman and the punt coverage unit have career days. That's what kept us in the Dallas game.

but really, the best tactic is to have Jauron send hit men after Brady, Maroney, Matt Light, Harrison and Vrabel.

Re: OK, your the coach for the NE game how do we beat them?

Depends on what you want to do - beat New England or win the game.

To beat New England you need to be extremely physical and pound players with safeties and LBs hitting WRs even it means they catch the ball. An example to extreme was Johnson being pounded by Whitner and Wire. If you make them feel footsteps they will play timid. Same thing with Brady - Bills need to make it clear that Brady should take every available shot and go over every possible situation when it is ok to hit him.

To win the Bills will need to take chances - add a player from offense on defense or defense on offense when situation is right. On special teams do what is not expected or even rational and be willing to keep at it. On offense be willing to switch QBs and plans if one QB / plan is not working and let critics be damned.

And in both cases lie to the press - the press is not your friend and if an imaginary feud or leak will add to Patriots planning for wrong game do it. Patriots will do whatever they need to win and Bills should too. Ethics does not apply when foe is completely unethical.

Re: OK, your the coach for the NE game how do we beat them?

Regardless of the size fact between their WRs and our DBs, I want to see a lot of man to man coverage so their little FBs and RBs don't have 20 yards in front of them before someone touches them. Brady can check down with the best and he has a knack for finding the soft part of the zone. I hate the zone defense. Just line up on a man and make Brady make prefect throws all night. Eventually we will get some turn overs.

Nothing kills me more watching us play a soft zone and TEs, FBs, and RBs are wide open in the flat for a check down which allways turns into a chain-moving play. Man up and make Brady burn you, not guys with yards after the catch.
