As far as I can recall, every team that has beaten the Pats over the past 3years has beaten them with a smash-mouth, beyond stubborn, running approach. It usually takes until some point in the 4th quarter til you really begin to wear on them and the philosophy truly kicks in. Another big key is running on downs like 3rd and 4 or 5. That said, I would agree that in play-action type situations we need to take advantage of their injuries at corner (but only then).
