Personally, I think a team needs to be aggressive and heavily attack the Pats. Controlling the clock just keeps NE within a score throughout the game. Then, they will just coast and take that, hide their plays and use them for those last 1 or 2 drives to score easily.
If I were PHI, I would do things they don't normally do in the first half so the Pats have a difficult time making halftime adjustments. Pats are just too good at halftime adjustments. Then come out in the 3rd doing what got you to the SB.
