If crossposting's illegal just delete this one, I guess. The one over at the Shark Pool will be swarmed under by the usual, so I thought I'd sneak it in here if anybody's interested. I liked the article simply because of the detail --- it's not just the typical cliche ridden schtick. What do you think of this guy's plan?
Personally, I think he underestimates the Pats' run game a bit, but I'll admit the slow death might be preferable to the quick one, here.

I’ve done it. I created The Blueprint. Not just any blueprint. Not the plans for that two-story addition on the back of my house I’ve meant to get to for the past three years. I’m talking about The Blueprint. The document Jimmy Johnson thought he had. The one Rob Ryan thought he had. The one Steve Spagnuolo thought he had.
I created a game plan that could stop the Patriots......
MIKE TANIER considers himself America's most prolific NFL ghostwriter after four years as the resident draft guru and features writer for Sports Forecaster, which syndicates to over 20 newspaper websites in the US and Canada. (You can read some examples of that work here.) Mike has also contributed to his hometown Philadelphia Inquirer. Having grown up just two miles from Veterans Stadium, he took his then-13 month old son C.J. to watch the implosion of that legendary concrete slab, hoping that the event might exorcise some Philly sports demons. So far, the demons are covering the spread. When he's not researching obscure football facts or getting traumatized by the Philadelphia Eagles, Mike teaches high school mathematics in southern New Jersey. But his real passions are, in this order: a) family life, b) trying to get his Strat-o-Matic baseball team over the hump, and c) struggling to keep the characters straight on the PBS import show Age of Warriors. His weekly assignments include the column Too Deep Zone and the weekly rundown of upcoming NFL games for FOXSports.com.
