There is no "blueprint".
"pressure Brady, keep running, pounding the defense," I'm pretty sure that's a blueprint for any team to win any game.
NO ONE has beaten the Patriots yet, so there is no blueprint for a victory. When someone DOES beat the Patriots, THEN you will have your "blueprint". You can't call a team that has won 3 of the last 6 SB's in the fashion they did "chokers", ever.
The ONLY way the Patriots will be beaten is if the Patriots beat themselves.
Sure, if they do not win the SB, the REST of the country will use their hatred to call them chokers. Here in New England, we already have 3 SB's. I know the ride will be ending in a few years when New England goes back to the pack of 8-8 teams. We're just enjoying a very unique, very special record to cap off a wonderful dynasty. Whatever happens now is just bonus points.

in the back of your head you know they aren't going to win the super bowl...your already preparing for it....everything is just bonus points.
pressuring the quarterback is not the blueprint for every team. Farvre(sp?) you should sit back and wait to intercept. running the football doesn't always work, if the defense can stop the run, which new england can't.
Thats the last i will say about the pats. i hope they do win the whole thing b/c i wood like to see Moss get a ring. only time will tell now.

I'm not preparing for them to not win the SB.
The first one was amazing. I still remember the Patriot riots at Umass. Totally unexpected.
The second was great. Played a good season and had a good chance at winning it.
The third one they really dominated and it was expected.
We've been from being the underdog to being the favorites.
You're also forgetting, we have the Celtics now and two Red Sox World Series since the last time they won the SB.
Amazingly, championships in New England are becoming commonplace.
A 4th Superbowl wouldn't be very exciting. That's why I am so happy they went 16-0.
And Seau deserves a ring before Moss.

Has anyone else noticed that New England area is seems to be flying high with their sport teams; that they are best thing since white sliced bread.
However if a New York team is doing well, then it is the evil empire or even worse.    
BTB: I do not claim to be any kind of sports fan; NY, WA, MI or other wise.
Sports page/section is the last thing I read.
And if a team, any team any where ,is doing well good for them.
And if NE wins the SB, good for them. Just hope it is a good game.
However, there are just a few things in the Sports/Entertainment/Business Industry that do get my attention. "Cheating" and how every one reacts to it is just one of them.

We HAVE been tortured in New England for quite some time.
1918 anyone, Bill B. in 1986, ALCS and Pedro, Len Bias, Pesky Pole, 1986 Patriots, Cam's knee.......
We had a great run with the Celts winning 9 of 10 championships, and then in the 80's.
Patriots were AWEFUL for 95% of their existence.
Celtics STUNK for well over a decade.
Bruins haven't won a cup in 30 plus.
I think us New Englanders deserve a few years of good sports.

Okay, but even blind hogs find acorns except Arkansas against Missouri!
GZ, I hope they go all the way!
But next year is next year!
Yes Jon, the stinking Yankees who had Kansas City as a farm team for years!
