Any fan of the NFL who isn't for the Patriots wants to see them lose (maybe I'm just different because of 2004 . . . 2005 . . . )PS - I'm a Steelers fan. So I'm curious how people feel about any teams chances at beating this team. Anyone think they have a blueprint?

My Blueprint for beating the Patriots:

DEFENSE:
1.)Pressure Tom Brady. You'll need good defensive line so you can send more into coverage - so pressure with ends is crucial.

2.)Stop the run. The Patriots have a lack-luster running game, which gets more important as the weather gets colder. Make Tom pass the ball - and pressure him when he does.

3.)Play receivers physically. Double up on Moss and Welker as much as possible and zone the middle and flats to eliminate passing routs to the sidelines.

OFFENSE:
1.)Run the ball, Run the ball, Run the ball!!! Play physical up front and keep the defense on the field.

2.)Look down the middle. The Patriots cover the sidelines well but the middle can be exposed (evident in the Eagle game)

3.) Play action please. The patriots have older linebackers who tend to bite on play action. Do it well and you may have a big gain.

Basically do what the Eagles and Ravens did - but without the mistakes late they made.
