beat them? They lead the NFL in total offense.
They lead the NFL in total defense.

overconfidence....they havent played anybody (the chargers arent what they were last season) wait til they play a quality opponent then we might be able to tell how good they are

Blitz every down, and don't turn the ball over.

Put pressure on Brady and don't turn the ball over.

Their biggest weakness is their secondary. The one thing I can think of is to go deep and test the secondary. But...they have a great team..and it's not like they even have all their key players..seymour is out for most of the season and Harrisons out for another week.
Right now they've shown no weaknesses whatsoever..but the secondary hasn't been tested.

Age. They are injury prone on defense as a result. Their linebacking corps is particularly vulnerable.

Moss is a bit of a ticking time bomb as well. Right now they have "Happy Randy". He doesn't usually stick around when things go wrong.

Another thing is they have not played quality opponents. San Diego looks like a dysfunctional mess due to the coaching changes. The Jets and Bills are laughing stocks. Let's see how the Patriots look when they play someone good.

Get Tom Brady out of the game somehow. You can't shake him up so the only way is if Brady gets hurt

It's the NFL. Everyone's beat to hell by the playoffs, and Patriots make big targets. All any team has to do is optimize their special teams and be lucky enough to avoid turnovers. That's how you take down the big boys... wait... Randy Moss is there? Nevermind.

Play cover 2 and avoid the deep ball to the sideline's. The only thing you leave vulnerable is the flats. But that will take out Randy Moss and company and hopefully one of the outside linebackers picks up on it and makes a pick-6, and changes the game and momentum around. Deep posts and fly's are killing the defenses against the Pat's.
