Football is back, Seattle, and Week 1 kicks off with a massive Super Bowl rematch against the Patriots, even if it feels weird playing on a Wednesday. This isn’t just any game, though: our Seahawks’ defense absolutely dismantled Drake Maye and the Pats in the big game last year, and we’re ready to do it again.
Revenge on Their Minds? Who Cares, We’re Still Hungry!
You know the narrative: the Patriots are motivated to prove last year wasn’t a fluke. But c’mon, the Seahawks are just as hyped! How often does a team win the Super Bowl and still get basically zero love all offseason? That just fuels the fire for Mike Macdonald’s crew. With two defensive-minded coaches going at it, expect a low-scoring affair. Vegas has us favored by a mere three points, but don’t sleep on our ability to cover that. We’re talking about a defense that should only be better this year, and that’s a scary thought for the rest of the league.
New Faces, Same Grind for the Offense
While the defense is locked and loaded, there are definitely some storylines to watch on offense. We lost Kenneth Walker to free agency, which stings, but Jadarian Price is stepping in, and our run game should still be stout. The big question mark for the season is what our offense looks like sans Klint Kubiak. The system will be different, but I’m not worried. We’ll find a way to get enough points on the board and let our defense do what it does best: dominate. This Week 1 showdown is a chance to prove everyone wrong, right out of the gate.
This is just the start, Emerald City. Week 1 against the Patriots is the first step in showing the league why they were crazy to doubt us after a Super Bowl win. Let’s get it!
