We know that and so does every defensive coordinator

They know what plays we are going to run based on what personel we bring in

He has peaked.

Huh? Does Aqib Talib now play for all 31 teams? Are we gonna face him in Buffalo, New York, Dallas, San Fran?

No way you can stop Jimmy Graham, unless you have the chess pieces to do it....Jimmy Graham has been shut out before, against Pittsburgh in '11. He is still in the top receivers/tight ends in the entire NFL. Maybe you don't want Jimmy to succeed, but it takes a very special skill set to do what Talib did to him the other day.

Talib stopped Jimmy because the refs allowed him to mug Graham 10-15 yards past the line of scrimmage, that's not a game plan on how to stop Graham, it just goes to show that the NFL wants to protect their "golden" franchise in the Pats

I bet if they played again this weekend and both Talib/Graham were healthy. He couldn't stop him again...

Agreed Mitch, its all about gameplanning. If we played next week both BB and Payton would compensate for what worked and what didn't.

Talib may indeed shut down Graham for the 1st quarter, but Payton would have plan B ready to make them pay for it, and BB would have to alter his anti-Graham strategy. I think Colston and Moore would be a major players.

Its a chess game that came down to the final 5 seconds, and Bilicheat barely won.

I honestly believe if we played the Pats 10 times, we'd go 6-4.

Yes Billechek developed a plan to take Graham out of the game with one of the best dbs in the game that other teams will use as a blue print to contain Graham and as we speak Payton is developing a game plan to break that blue print. He is one of the best Offensive coaches to ever coach in the NFL, and for that exact reason.

If that game is played in their house I agree with the 6-4, however if we play in the dome we win 9-1.

There is no way Jimmy gets mugged like that at home. Trying not to cry about it but home field advantage has an effect on the refs whether it be subconscious or not.

DON'T WORRY. We will not get any information until Wednesday (which is when the league requires it from Payton) and even then it will be nothing too revealing or specific. Once you realize that Sean Payton only does the absolute minimum required by the league, as required for injury reports and updates, the absolute MINIMUM (and not a minute before the required deadline) you will learn to relax and be patient, don't worry.

Even if Jimmy's whole head had fallen off, in front of everyone on live national TV, and rolled around the field spurting blood, Sean wouldn't even mention it until end of the day Wednesday, and then he'd say "Jimmy Graham has a head" and move on to the next question -- that's just how it is with him.

Does that plan include obtaining one of the best DBs in the game? LOL

I would venture to say its a pretty freakin integral part of the plan.

Meanwhile we will smoke the Falcons again.
