Taking my homer cap off for a second:
NE is going to have to run the ball effectively in order to win. Brady isn't going to be able to dink and dunk his way to a W on Sunday. It sounds crazy, but with the exception of this year Bob Sutton has planned pretty well against Brady. NE is going to have to rely on the run game.
2 of our crap safeties who played in the first game against NE are not on the team anymore. Eric Berry should provide a lot of help both pre and post snap since our linebackers and D-line seem to have trouble lining up in the correct gaps sometimes. Justin Houston should give us good run support help as well. Those two guys didn't play last time at NE.
Hopefully we pack the box to stop the run and unleash our pass rush when Brady throws. Put a gap over Edelman and put Berry on Gronk. Josh Gordon is no longer there so that mitigates the deep threat a bit. Stop the short throws and make Brady complete balls downfield.
