I agree.
BLUEPRINTS are always available to coaches ... they come on individual plays ... a team might have been blown out 38-7, but they might have defended the 4 receiver set well ... or they may have shown how to defend their 2-tight end set ... for coaches, blueprints can be found in plays .. for reporters, they are found in games.
If they want to find a BLUEPRINT, find one to defend Vrabel on the goal-line ... Baltimore just did it by putting Ed Reed on him.
I don't know about blueprint but this game is similar to the Philly game. Run the football and hit Brady. Brady doesn't like contact and is afraid to run the ball.
The NE defense is vulnerable. All the weeks leading up to the Philly game the offense had such a huge lead they just had to sit back and defend the pass.

there is no blueprint...im gonna tell you whats going on...
THESE ARE PROFESSIONAL ATHELETES and believe it or not the talent discrepency is not as big as it seems (or has seemed for the 1st 10weeks of the year) so these teams philly/balt have heard all week how they cant compete and they come out super fired up....the pats are taking these teams BEST shots every week now and they will get pitts next week...its not easy to continue to take the opposing teams Agame every 7days....

And the excuses begin. There may not be a "blueprint" but there certainly is a "game plan". So teams only get fired up to play NE? You don't think Indy being defending champs gets everyones best shot? The fact is that you can run on NE as well as pass on them. Their defense has had the benefit of the offense giving them large leads to hide behind. NE may still win this game by 20 but without a big lead they ain't so hot.
By the way, Brady is scared to get hit.
Part of it is bitterness as a Maroney fantasy owner. Part of it is recognizing the Pats cockiness. You see where they start going when it gets crunch time, but they've completely ignored the running game.
Granted, the best thing to happen to them would be a loss as they would regain their focus and stop worrying about records and greatness.
