Ironically, I see both teams using the same game plan to stop the other.

Not trying to be funny, but why would we attempt to stop their run? They don't have a run game

true, kind of.
Brady uses the short (or very short) passing game instead of the run. Their RB's have almost 80 receptions

We seem to be having trouble stopping any running game effectively early on during our games this year, but then we make corrections / adjustments and control the ground game most of the time in the second half.

I think the Patriots will be able to run the ball enough to keep our defense trying to balance run support with covering Welker and Moss. I say don't let those two guys off the line free and clear, make them earn that downfield position tonight.

I hope Ellis is back AT 100%, I think that will make a big difference in how our boys play the run hence more pressure up the middle for Brady to deal with. He does not do well with pressure ........
