This game to me is going to be more about Miami's coaching staff than the players themselves.
You know Belichek will have his defense ready, especially after seeing how other teams have had success against McDaniel and his scheme.
If McDaniel doesn't adjust or come up with a game plan to counter New England, it will say a lot about how stubborn this guy is. Maybe even having an over inflated opinion of himself.
Recently an NBA team beat a playoff caliber team, with 5 of it's top 6 guys out. So going into New England with so many starters out, while insurmountable, isn't the impossible.
