Re: How do the Patriots defend the deep ball? Can Flacco have deep ball success against them?
Belichick's MO is to take away an offense's strength and make them beat his defense some other way. I would be shocked if the Pats defense was vulnerable to the deep ball because everyone and their dad knows that's our bread and butter. He's going to force Joe to complete a high percentage of short passes, which is fine. Joe did that earlier this season (28/39, 72%). Pitta (and Dickson, for that matter) is a tough match up for their big LBs, so I am hopeful part of our game plan is getting him matched up there. Combined with the wind and the possibility of the Pats' secondary staying deep all day long, they are probably looking for Flacco to force the deep ball. I'm hoping Boldin, Rice and the TEs will make them pay.
Long days and pleasant nights.

It is clear to see where there is an agreed upon consensus vs. an outlier homer.
The Pat's forum I saw everyone seemed to be in agreement that the secondary was much improved...yet not a single person I saw focused on the competition level since Talib was acquired.
