So here's the question: How would Belichick stop his own team?
Note: I realize this is a Bengal forum but am interested to hear what everyone thinks. We may very well be presented with this task again in the playoffs and would like to know if you think we'd handle it differently next go around. As you recall our last 2 games against the Pats were complete opposites, one working well and they other not so well - granted we didn't have Burfict in the last game.
You have to have skilled DBs.
You have to force Brady out of the quick throws. None of the WRs need double teamed, they need jammed and slowed down.
You run bracket coverage on Gronk.
Force Brady to hold the ball and push it down field.
