Opening game opponent down to four teams

seabowl · May 12, 2026

It’s going to be one of these four teams that the Seahawks face on opening day:

Cardinals, Chargers, Bears, and Patriots

For some reason, I think it’s going to be the Bears because of how they ascended last year and their quarterback. Thoughts?

I don’t think anyone thinks it will be the Cardinals. No one wants to see the Patriots since non Seattle fans say it was a terrible Super Bowl. Chance it would be the Chargers but slim chances.

Bears will likely (very likely) be the matchup.

Hope it’s the bears at home. We will get to smash that idiot Williams.

Caleb Williams choked and threw 3 INTs in a playoff loss, I am not sure that's the kind of pull people think it is.

No fn way! This better be BS.

Kirk Minihane reports Seahawks will host Patriots in NFL season opener

Would the league really increase the spotlight on the Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini saga and put the Patriots in the NFL season opener?

I'll bet my paycheck it's Da Bears.

If this is accurate, and it's showing up other places too, it's The Pats. I figured Bears too.

My daughter and boyfriend will not be pleased.

I told everyone it was the Bears and to “book it.”

Sorry guys

SoulfishHawk · May 13, 2026

Hey Steve, I think MOST of us thought Bears.

Blazenhawks · May 13, 2026

This is such a stupid match up. if the game was close I get it but it was not even.

SoulfishHawk · May 13, 2026

No doubt. At least when we played the Broncos after winning 48, it was the 3rd game of the season. The 2nd home game.
We opened that season by smoking GB.

What are you going to live on with no paycheck this month?
Never trust the NFL to do the sensible thing.

Back to four preseason and 16 regular season games.

Your daughter should get over it quickly but it will probably take your boyfriend a little longer.

What a moronic decision. While the Patriots were the 2nd best remaining choice, the Bears were clearly the better matchup. Offensive guru vs defensive guru, NFC playoff implications, etc. Oh well, thanks for the easier matchup, NFL. Time to smack those frauds again.
