    Tough task, but try to limit Gronk. Take out their best weapon and make the other guys see if they can step up.

    I wondered/hoped we'd see this today. It's a gameday ritual.

    It's too hard to choose just one today, but I'll give Gronk the edge, because he's such an X factor.

    Turnovers. If we get four and they get none, we should win easy.

    Always good when you get some message like this from your boss!

    Yes, hard to choose one.
    Either way, the main factor is irrelevant: We'll crush them. They suck.

    Key to the game long drives that keep Brady on the sideline, second key have Big Dan throw this rookie center into Brady that should make him nervous, key three kill Edelman on crossing routes.

    I picked "other", because I believe it`s "All of the Above", and I didn`t see that option..

    To elaborate,

    I don`t think any ONE of those things is gonna be enough to win...

    I think we are gonna have to do MOST of them...

    In somewhat order of importance,

    Protect Ben, and don`t have self inflicted penalties, on EITHER side of the ball...

    Pressure Brady...

    Win the turnover battle(But I believe that is ALWAYS a high priority)..

    So, I guess it`s not, ALL of the above, but 3 or 4 key ones, plus...

    Hold them under 34 points...

    That should give us a chance to tie, or win..

    So, I guess long drives by our O is key, also, although, we seem to score better on big plays than sustained drives, anymore, so, I don`t know about keeping Brady on the bench with long drives...
    That would be nice, and a bonus, but only if we get 7 points on those drives!!!

    GO STEELERS!!!

    I picked turnovers because, well, we haven't been very good at forcing them the past 2 years and that MUST change.

    As far as our young D goes, play fast, play aggressive. I'll be happy with a mistake as long as it was done with conviction and intensity. Don't be timid and don't second guess yourself.

    Pressure Brady and not through blitzes, he'll pick us apart. Need Tuitt, McLendon and Heyward to dominate tonight.

    Have to pressure Brady. An unhappy Brady is a sloppy Brady!

    Definitely pressure. Brady is a very different player when he's under constant duress.
