Will we ever get a SB Rematch against the Brady-Belichick Patriots?

Last four games vs Patriots Panthers have won 3

Beating the Patriots during the regular season is not equivalent to beating them in the playoffs.

Belechick and company raise their preparation and execution to another level come playoff time.

Ron and company, not so much.

Interesting question. The Pats do have a tendency to play a team more than once in Super Bowls. If their past history is any indication of this year’s game, the may end up on the wrong side of the score board. They have never won a rematch against a team they previously played in the SB. The Giants beat them in 2006 and 2010. The Eagles got revenge last year for their 2004 defeat. I hope the Rams keep can keep that streak alive.

I have a question for you guys. So far Rivera has had success against Belichik. After watching last nights defensive debacle in KC, do you think Rivera could have called a game that would have kept the NE offense in check? I don’t think there is no dishonor in losing to NE, but KC didn’t seem to do anything down the stretch to contain Julian Eddlemon. Belichik is usually able to take away what you do best. Do you think Ron would have had an answer for the Patriots’ short passing game.

The Eagles and Rams have gotten their due against the "dynasty" that wronged them. Will the football gods ever bless us with a rematch of Super Bowl 38 as well?

What rematch? Those teams are long gone.

Well technically the players from those teams (except the ageless Brady) are gone, but since the actual franchises still exist you can call it a rematch. 

I remember when the Cowboys beat the Steelers in 1995. The two teams hadn’t met in Super Bowl games since the 1970s (1975 and 1978). I think the old time Cowboy fans from the 1970s were more excited about finally beating the Steelers for the win than they were about winning 3 SBs in 4 years.

I checked out a Rams site earlier today and a lot of their fans feel are saying they look at this as a chance to get revenge for their 2001 loss that launched one dynasty and kept a potential dynasty from developing.

who cares? Rematches are cool and all, but really the teams are different year to year.. Except for the Patriots.

Evil still resides.

Just get there is all that matters.

Oh, I get looking forward to playing certain teams for different reasons, but I don't consider that a rematch. Just another chapter.

i was saying this last night. If Peyton wasn't gifted a super bowl, we would have gone down as one of the greatest teams of all time. 

this many years later people still say this mess, but got jokes for Saints fans complaining about a rigged game that happened 3 days ago. LOL

I hope I never have to see Brady and Belichick in another Superbowl after this year. The AFC east has collectively sucked for far too long. 

Exactly. The Patriots are a great team, BUT they have benefited greatly from playing in a division that is perennially the worst in the entire NFL, at least for the last 15 years or so. The Phins have had, what, one decent season? The Jets, three, maybe? And the Bills haven’t been good during that time frame at all. Winning a terrible division year after year equates to home playoff games, which equates to a pretty short walk to the Championship game. Win that, and you’re in The Show. Brady and Co. haven’t exactly had to face a murderer’s row in their division every year like some other teams (like Carolina, for example), and have a lot of hardware to show for it. Good for them, but if they were in a division that wasn’t a cupcake every year, I doubt they’d be “the Patriots” that everyone sees now.
