I really think is our best bet. Limit the possesions. Kind of like Princeton does in basketball. I think if NE has the ball say 20 times and we have the ball 20 they get more points than we do. But if we each get the ball 3 times I think we obviously have a better chance of scoring as many or more points.
One mistake under those circumstances means a lot more.

Long point producing drives hopefully ending in TDs is the key.
Slow down the Pats and make them go methodically down the field also.
