Key factor to beat NE

Ok, my fault. Last week I didn't post my weely poll (neither my wishlist). I'm assuming I've got a slice of the blame for that loss.

Anyway, this week's poll is here. Weekly disclaimer below.



Weekly disclaimer: Yes, I know football is 60 minutes of 11 vs 11 and many factors contribute. And not a single thing changes the outcome of a game. But there's always a key factor, topic of this poll, that is the most important one in order to help our team get the W.

 

Other - a bit of any or all of your points - but even if Steelers do achieve all of your points - it still boils down to, somehow, someway, and lots of luck, score at least 1 more point than Pats no matter how ugly. No style points will be awarded or subtracted (unless AB shows of in the end zone and/or Mitchell keeps his hearing aid turned down after the whistle is blown.)

 

I went with o line, although I would add receivers need to be crisp on their routes. No room for sloppiness.

 

I went with Landry making short quick throws and spreading the ball around. The Pats don't use a lot of disguised blitzes so if Jones can see the field make that quick read and move the ball, then it opens up for Bell and eats up the clock.

 

OTHER:
play smart football in all facets
FROM THE TOP DOWN


i really believe we have planned for this game over the pass two weeks and we actually will win

 

planet alignment! no seriously, creativity - show them things that they've never seen before or disguise defense and not give away until the very snap of the ball.

 

I'm more worried about the defense than offense.

We won't get to Brady, blitzing won't work, we need our DBs to lock the receivers down and mess up Brady's timing.

 

3rd down efficiency for both offense and defense; time of possession for the offense as well.

 

DON'T PANIC!!!!# play to your strengths and don't force anything that's not there and check check down or throw ball away don't throw picks and do play smart Football!!!

 

I say hit Brady hard and often. If he's gonna light us up anyway, make him pay. Throw everybody at him.

 

I went with pressure Brady, blindside blitzes would be nice.
