Don't forget too, while you're all whining about the pats.. that they pay less than the other franchises, and Moss took a cut in his pay, to play for the Patriots...

I seriously doubt it.
Their schedule is turning out to be a little rougher than expected.
Like most, you look at the problem from, shall I say, a NEGATIVE PERSPECTIVE.
Look at the play FIRST and THEN the player(s).
In any game that a score is kept, the object is to OUTSCORE YOUR OPPONENT.
Too much emphasis is placed on trying to stop the Patriots rather than finding ways to SCORE MORE POINTS than them.
Several of the teams that the Patriots will soon face match up very well offensively and defensively and special teams coverage while some others seem to be playing better every week; e.g.
Washington and the Giants to name a couple.
While they have been winning by fairly large margins, NE hasn't shut anybody out...so they can be scored on.
Clevelands young offense scored 17.
On 1st or 2nd down, when NE has the OLD MEN LBs on the field, go into hurry-up offense and attack those old men and wear them out.
When NE is on offense I suggest jamming their receivers to throw off the timing and allow the pass rush that extra split second it takes to get to Brady.
Find the weakest spot on that OLine and go after him.
If/when a NE receiver catches the ball, MAKE HIM PAY.
I think that at least 2 of these teams will beat NE; Dallas; Indy; Phi; Pittsburgh of whom I would start Charlie Batch; I think he reacts quicker to the pass rush.
Leave one other man back with the kicker or punter just in case the returner gets through.
Just some ideas of what to do to beat NE.
And remember, we don't know how long Belichick has been videotaping signals. He may have them for all the other 31 teams
and btw. WHERE ARE THE YANKEES NOW?

Honestly if the patriots are the 'yankees of the NFL', then they will have a great reg season record only to lose their first play-off game.
The pats do have a great shot at 16-0 but before you uncork the champagne...
the pats really have not played even a decent team yet. of the Browns, Bills, bengals, and Jets the jets were the only play-off team last year and the browns are the only team with 2 wins. the chargers have 2 wins but how good are they when kansas city beats them 30-16?
the pats schedule only has 3 questionable games
at Dallas
at indy
vs steelers

I'm not a Patriots fan either, and have been a hardcore of the game for 15 years. More than any other team in the modern era the Patriots have a chance. They make the recent Colts teams look like a joke. Both elite in offense and defense, they could realistically end up ranked # 1 at both, it's just ridiculous.

If the Patriots would put all their starters in for all 16 games they would definetly go 16-0. There clearly the best team. However, by week 16 or 17, theyll have clinched the conference and won't have any starters in. So i dont think they will go undefeated but I agree with you that they have the best chance.

i really don't experience any team receives to 16-0 this 365 days..it quite is something that do purely not take position oftentimes.yet i imagine the Colts have the wonderful threat.The Saints have some tuff video games arising..i could favor to work out the Saints undefeated yet i'm purely being sensible.It gained't take position

I agree, the Pats have both a Great Offense and Defense, that is a rarity, a Perfect Season rarity.
And I am rooting for it because I just hate the 72 Dolphins.

They'll lose to the Giants week #16 because they'll have already wrapped up the division weeks ago and they'll be resting their starters. They'll probably be playing a Giants team that needs the win to make the playoffs.

Yes...the cliche...It's the NATIONAL Football League. Going undefeated is near impossible. You're bound to get tripped up somewhere, in college you have recruiting and scholarships so ideally if all the good players want to go to, say USC, they can run the table and go undefeated.
