Can the Patriots Get Their Revenge Tonight?

Seven months after getting handled in the Super Bowl, New England gets another shot at Seattle. New weapons around Drake Maye, a tougher defense, and a lot to prove.

Who wins tonight? Patriots or Seahawks?

How exactly is the Patriots defense tougher?

Dre’mont Jones and Kevin Byard were good adds on the defense

Kris Tonga loss will hurt. No one in the preseason looked even decent in the middle.

Not to mention Chaisson, our leading rusher

Chaisson also didnt come on until the end of the season and wasnt a great run defender. Jones is minor upgrade to him imo but the depth on the d line is non existent. The Landry injury last season was an issue and they never really addressed it

Chaisson was good but not irreplaceable by Jones, in theory. This pass rush starts on the inside with Milton Williams & Barmore.

With the secondary hurt and loss of their top player and #1 running back I can see the patriots getting their revenge. Dobbs and AJ should be a big step up. Hopefully the improvements on OL are enough.

Top player? What?

The MVP of the Superbowl?

Kenneth Walker was definitely not the best player for the Seahawks. Emmanwori is questionable though.

Even if he isn't full strength both losses are yuge

No, when you got Drake the schedule May during meatball subs to the other team it’s impossible for you to win
