Will there be a different result in Super Bowl LX rematch? 'GMFB'
"GMFB" debate will there be a different result in Super Bowl LX rematch between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots in Week 1 of the 2026 season.
Video Transcript
Since these teams last met.
It's the last game tape we have from the 2025 season.
Do you expect a different result, though, in week one in this Super Bowl 60 rematch, Isaiah?
A different result, I don't believe so.
But I do believe that the game will be more competitive.
You talk about the New England Patriots and what One of the areas in which they suffered last year, it was all about their offensive line and giving up too much pressure.
They gave up 48 sacks during the regular season, they gave up another 21 in the playoffs, including six sacks to Seattle in the Super Bowl.
So they went out there and they moved up in the draft and grabbed themselves an offensive tackle.
They went ahead and moved their guard over to the center position.
They're doing a little bit of musical chairs to address that issue to make sure that Drake Maye has the time he needs, and that's before even talking about the personnel additions, obviously, that they had with A.J.
Brown.
Yeah, I'm kind of on the same train as you, Zay.
Different result as win is- Win or loss, I don't know, but I do think it would be a different ballgame.
I don't think it's gonna be a blowout as what it was in s- during the Super Bowl.
I think what the New England Patriots did this off-season with their different acquisitions, not only free agency, but in the draft, I think w- th- they definitely improved their roster from A.J.
Brown, and a lot of- not a lot of people are talking about Romeo Doubs.
Romeo Doubs is g- the Green Bay Packers wide receiver one.
So y- they technically have two wide receiver ones come over if they're from New England, come over to New England.
They, they shored up the, the offensive line.
But I'm gonna talk about their defense.
The New England Patriots defense, I think the Super Bowl performance kinda overshadowed how dominant they were in the playoffs when you think about their performance.
They led the NFL during the playoffs in the least amount of points per game allowed.
They were first in interceptions, they were second in QB hits, they were first in the quarterback go- quarterback rating allowed, and they were second in yards per play allowed.
That's how dominant that, Patriots defense was.
So again, I don't think this is gonna be the same game.
As far as a, a different result, KB, we're gonna have to wait till week one to find out.
Oh man, it better not be the same game.
It was in the conversation for the most boring Super Bowl I've ever kind of watched.
That was rough.
Really, really rough.
And I credit Seattle for that, they were that dominant.
But I dunno, I find myself in some ways in this game, I don't really care who wins, but I found myself rooting for Drake Maye.
It seems like a great player, a good dude, and that, that was a rough, rough night, and that sticks to you.
That, that We, remember we used to run that stat all the time, that the loser, if you lose your first Super Bowl, you never make it back?
And then Jalen Hurts eventually broke that streak, but it did go on for about 30 years.
What is the next season like for Drake Maye after struggling that much on a national stage?
I remember in the second half at one point when he threw his worst pass of the game, and Chris Collinsworth, who knows everything about football just goes on the air, "Uh, I d- I got nothing on this one."
And, and it was a great call because no one knew what the hell was going on.
The, the, all the energy was off for the Patriots from the get-go.
They were clearly not right mentally, physically, who knows, and they just got just beaten down.
Nobody wanted to see that.
I don't wanna see that in the opener.
I want to see Drake Maye.
He's supposed to be one of the stars that's ushering in the next great class.
It's supposed to be him and Caleb and, you know, maybe, Jaylen Dan- Jayden Daniels.
I don't know.
But I like that there's a young group in the AFC, and Drake Maye right now is the center of it.
But, this was rough, and I would love to see him bounce back week one.
It'd be crazy if the Patriots won.
I mean, it'd be really entertaining.
If you're just team content, you want the most interesting result, which I always am, I hope the Patriots win.
Nobody needs new B roll to be put on tape- Good impression than Drake Maye- Yep after this game.
Like, Drake Maye's like, "Can we stop-" Yeah ..."showing those highlights?"
Let's drop it.
Isaiah, I'm gonna ask you this, because Kyle Manta and I are preparing for prediction week next week.
We got 14 playoff spots, seven on each side.
Isaiah, the NFC West got significantly better and more challenging, if that was even possible
