You would need to look at the 2015 post season game that they lost to Denver to get a feel for what we need to do on offense and defense. You can give up the yardage all you want. You can bend. Just don't break. And you have to make them one dimensional. So that means they must stop Lewis and Burkhead in the running game early and often.

We have the corners for this game. Ramsey and Bouye are basically Talib and Harris from 2015. If they can keep Cooks and Hogan in check and pressure Brady up the middle they should be able to funnel most of his looks and passes towards the middle of the field. That's where we should see a lot of tip drills on defense. I expect this defense to pick Brady off at least twice. It's the only way you can win. Pressure also plays a huge role. You can't just sit back and let him dink and dunk you to death.

We seldom blitzed yesterday against Big Ben and he made us pay for it. Brady will do the same if you give him all day. You cannot be afraid to blitz him. You just can't be. Tom Coughlin knows that more than anybody having beat them twice. Especially with Ramsey and Bouye in this game. But that's how we win.

1. Force them to be one dimensional
2. Blitz his [BLEEP] on defense
3. Force them to look to the middle of the field instead of the outside
4. Make plays on the ball

On offense, for us? K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple Stupid. Nothing fancy. You run the football down their throats and you go to the play action game early and often just like you did yesterday to get the defense away from the box. Take 1 - 2 shots in the first half and the second half if needed but don't get cute. Getting cute with New England is the surest way to lose. They're very disciplined. You're not going to out smart them too much. So you just need to line up man for man and get physical and nasty with them. That's how Denver won. That's how we will win it.
