M3OW's Blockbuster Predictions (Week 1)


MeowMeowMeooow

Recommended Posts

Each week, I will be doing my predictions of each game in Blockbuster Movie style. This week will be a little different because I'll be using bits from the original and the 2013 re-make. Enjoy!

 

 

Week 1

 

It’s that time of year. Football is in the air. We are riding on the high of a winning preseason. As of right now, the Carolina Panthers are Undefeated. It's a new dawn. And it will be a... Blue Dawn.

Sunday morning we all will awake to the rumble of every media outlet declaring the Seahawks have already won. The streets in downtown Charlotte will flood with hungry football fan in a panic to find their way to Bank of America Stadium. And I’m sure, like most home games, it will be invaded by Seahawk fans.

Prediction 1: Bank of America Stadium will smell of Starbucks and Grunge this Sunday.

 

They will be quick to fire on Panther fans with ammo such as “$cam Newton” and “remember last season”. We may lose some loved one in the crossfire and other fans may defect to save face.

The same panic will ensue during the opening minutes of the game. The Seahawks will take an early lead and it may seem like our young team is high tailing it to the mountains.

Prediction 2: We get behind early. The Huddle fills with threads of "0-16" and "Fire Rivera".

 

It’s look like all is lost for our team. They will have small victories here and there but still be behind in the big picture. Their father figure is forced to submit in front of their eyes, but (to the surprise of all) gives a rousing speech to fight back at all costs. To take the fight to the enemy. Reminding all that this is our home, and no invader will take that from us.

Prediction 3: Ron Rivera will be shown on the sideline pulling a player or two to the side and giving them a lashing.

 

This lights a fire under our young heroes, and they take the fight to the Seahawks. They start winning the battle in the trenches.

They attack from the ground and air and take every thing they can.

Prediction 4: We start to turn it on. Taking small chucks of yards where it is given. We close the gap.

 

Forcing the enemy into a panic. They will be asking, “How can THIS small time team be giving us so many problems?”

The Seahawks, in a panicked frenzy, will fight back as best they can. They will attack us when we least expect it. Causing, what some may see, as a fatal blow.

Prediction 5: As soon as we catch up, the Seahawks will lead an impressive drive down the field and score in the 4th.

 

But just when things look like the Panthers don’t have a chance in this thing, a grizzled, professional veteran shows up to give the team the boost they need.

Prediction 6: Smitty will have a huge play to get the players and fans back into the game. 

 

With the help of their seasoned friend, this young team comes back fighting harder than ever before. Taking it to the Seahawks in full force.

With the leader of the enemy fallen and the dust settling, the underdogs come out victorious. 

 

Prediction 7: We welcome back the Cardiac Cats when this team finally puts together a late winning drive.

 

The world will be shocked. How could a small-time team beat such a force as the Seahawks? How could these “kids” put together a resistance during these dark time? Those questions will be answered in the weeks to come. 

 

But for now, the Nation will hear our war cry. It will be on every channel. You won’t be able to hide. And that sound will ring from coast to coast. One word....

27-24

Lol, I have to save some players for other weeks. Plus, I don't think Hardy will have a career game this week. I think he will do "good-enough" for us not to question him. But nothing we will be starting threads over.

I did notice you had Star though whom I think struggles early in the season. Hardy is my guy for breakout player of the year. If he plays like I think he will, no way can we resign him.

I had a heart attack just reading this. I don't know if I can handle a close game, please let it be a blowout win for the home team. . .

 

I have a sneaking feeling this game will rival 2008's Week 1 against the Chargers when it's all said and done.

 

Trust me, I wish like nothing more than a blow out in our first game. But I think our early season woes will continue... But this time only lasting 3 quarters.

Wont even be close Panthers will destroy Seattle.

 

it all depends on what offense shows up.

 

if it's the offense of 2011 and the last few weeks of 2012, blow out is entirely possible.

 

if it's the offense of the first half of last year or what we saw in preseason....meh.

    • Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances. 
    • If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
    • I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
