Hey there guys. I was the one that called into the show yesterday. I didnt think my prediction was too crazy but I am a fan after all. Love all the reactions. KEEP POUNDING!!!
11-6 sounds crazy, but no individual pick seemed nuts. They have a pretty easy schedule. Realistically I think you gave them every 50-50 game and their real record will be more like 6-11 or 7-10.
Wish I shared your optimism. Each of your W's individually seem like legitimate chances, the schedule just shows how much mediocracy there is in the league. Way to go though!
yeah this man was really on the hopium... Right from the start I think he got the wk 1 and 2 results flipped. He is right to pick us winning more on the road than at home though, very Panthers thing to do.
@@brianerisca6822 because usually the teams that go from worst to first are teams that were on the cusp of the playoffs the year before and were in a tough division. For example the Bengals were 9-8 and finished last in their division but have a legit chance to win their division this year. The Bears were two blown leads late in the 4th quarter from making the playoffs, have added a ton of talent & have one of the best projected defenses going into the season so they a legit chance at winning the division. Neither probably will happen but unlike the Panthers they are the most likely to go from worst to 1st.
Haha right? I was tired of hearing all these callers say that they're gonna get a W against us. Of course some will, but I wanted to call in and represent. A 17-0 prediction would have been ridiculous and a 9-8 or 8-9 prediction would have been boring. Why not make it interesting??
Thank you sir. Lifelong Panther fan here and felt that if I bothered to call in then I might as well go big or go home right? One of these years will be our year!
Well, I hope that the Panthers play a good game in Munich and are supported by all the fans in the stadium. Munich will once again be a good host for the teams and football fans. Rich knows about the hospitality of my hometown of Munich. He experienced it live in 2022. So Panthers fans, come and support your team even if it plays abroad.
I was born in Frankfurt and just love that the Panthers are popular in Germany. I would love to catch a game out there. Definitely on the bucket list 🇩🇪
Panthers fan here, michael was a bit optimistic here ^^ we have a relatively easy schedule which is weird to say being the worst team in the league. id say we had 2 wins last here nd if we can double this number to 4 wins its already a success. realistically i think 6 is the goal to reach for, 7 if everything works perfectly. 7-10 would be a huge season for the panthers
Interesting enough, as bad as our team and coaching was last year, we were in several tight games. The addition of better coaches, better O-line, D-line, and some actual receivers, and any game is winnable.
+1400 they will win their division. I'll take those odds. They are going to run the hell out of the ball, like 30+ carries per game, and be a top 5 defense.
They were a bottom five defense in total points and points per game. While they were top 5 in yards per game, i don't see them being a top 5 overall defensive team.
Panthers fan. We're winning 3 games this year (at LV, at WASH, & vs NO). Bonus Pick: Tepper will throw some sort of Tepper Tantrum that will go viral. Instead of doing the sensible level-headed thing (sticking with Bryce Young, Using the high pick on a top O-Lineman/Wide-Receiver) we will Fire Dave Canales, Trade Bryce Young, and Draft Shedeur Sanders.
The difference between 11-6 and 7-10 are going to be those 4 games against NO and Atlanta. I think everything else he had was reasonable, maybe at Chicago as W go L instead.
Yeah I'm not sure any team has ever swept the entire division in a season (at least in the south), that was particularly bold. I think he was onto something with the winstreak weeks 7-10 , but we probably lose the home game before that.
@@Jagza652There is the small possibility the Panthers could pull a 2010 Raiders to where they could go 6-0 in their division and miss the playoffs. That year the Raiders finished 8-8
@@Jagza652 Stranger things have happened after all and back in 2010 the AFC West was a weak division like the NFC South currently is. That Raiders roster had Jason Campbell as the starting QB, Darren McFadden was the starting RB, and they had Zach Miller (who was decent for the team and made his only Pro Bowl that year) as TE
As a Panther's fan, I grew up a fan. Growing up in South Carolina. I have seen some delusional fans. Seen it my whole life. I get it. But dude. I don't think we'll ever win again with Tepper as owner.
I am a panthers fan as well and I'd love it if he is correct, but there's just no way. The real W/L: L L W L L W L W L W L W L L W L L 6-11 and even that feels too optimistic
Can't wait for C'mon man on Monday Nights lol. Football season can't get here fast enough. I regret that we don't have any prime time games this season but maybe that'll help us fly under the radar.
If the defense is as good or better than last year and Canales shows any competency running this offense, this team will surprise this year. They have a favorable schedule, but I’m not fully committed to saying 11 wins type of success but we will be around in the playoff hunt late which is good progress. Or we could just be terrible again.
Couldn't agree more. We better show some kind of improvement, either kill it this season or tank for a high draft pick if things start going south (no pun intended 🤭) we have no business being in no man's land missing the playoffs and picking like 8th the way we have been past few years.
They have such a weak schedule and the weakest division yet all the weak teams have upgraded so much more then them. Their closer to 2-15 than anything.
When rhule coached he got all his wins in the beginning of the season bc there wasn’t any tape on their scheme. I think that will happen again. 6-7 wins this season will be huge but I expect 4-5. Sounds sad but it’s moving forward finally
The Panthers and Patriots are far and away the favorites for the number 1 pick next year, and this guy says they'll go 11-6. What's he smoking? But if so, the Giants have hope for that #1 or 2 overall.
This isn't as bad as the Bronco fan who predicted his team was going to finish 15-2 last season but still hilarious. If The Panthers is going to win 11 games this season, then I'm going to win the Powerball jackpot. 😂
I'd say that since this is my prediction, if you end up winning the lottery I'm entitled to half. Not sure how well that would hold up in court tho 🤔 lol.
All good. We have done more as a franchise than teams that have been around longer than us. We haven't won it all like we could have, but I have to believe that we will bring pride back to being a Carolina Panther. Just a matter of time.
They laughing... taking it for a joke, thinking it's a game but the joke's gonna be on them when this season plays out. I won't go 11-6 but I will go 9-8 and that'll be enough to top the NFC South and make the playoffs. Salute Coach Canales, D-Mo and Brandt Tillis. We on the come up. Panther nation stand up. Keep Pounding for life✊🏾💯.
5 wins, at most. 3 most likely. But i really think theres a chance wed go winless. We got worse on defense, didnt really improve on offense. Too incompetent.
I love these. If you aren't projecting double digit wins, you aren't a FANatic.
My sentiments exactly. Glad you're on the same vibe 🤙🏼

Dude....don't listen to the naysayers...nothing is impossible!
Wish I shared your optimism. Each of your W's individually seem like legitimate chances, the schedule just shows how much mediocracy there is in the league. Way to go though!
As a Panthers fan I hope you are right, but I think it is way to hopeful 😅 I think at best we hit 8-9, which is a big improvement
Have been a Panther fan since I was 6. Currently listening to this man cook with his predicitions. Yes I am currently high.
Me too man, been a fan ever since the start and have had the same ol blind optimism each and every off-season 👍🏻. And btw that makes two of us lol 💨💨
Panthers fan here... no way this is happening. 8 wins feels like the max if everything is breaking well
yeah this man was really on the hopium... Right from the start I think he got the wk 1 and 2 results flipped. He is right to pick us winning more on the road than at home though, very Panthers thing to do.
Teams go from worst to first every year why can't it be them ?
@@brianerisca6822 it's not that it can't be them. It's just extremely unlikely with all the roster holes like pass rusher and the 2nd CB spot

Why are y’all acting like this never happened before😂! And we do play in the NFC South
I love the optimism, Keep Pounding!
Thanks man 😃👍🏻
11-6??? Not freaking likely 😂
(And I'm a Panthers fan Lol)
Dude was smoking meth…..
@@HondoHoss77 Pretty much 😵💫 Haha
Lol..They won't even finish 6-11
9-8
Bro I died laughing every time Rich said the record so far. It got more and more funny 😂😂😂
I want what he’s smokin
Cookies brotha, get you some 👌🏼
Exactly
I don't that's way to strong
As a panthers fan
I'm hoping that this guy is proven right
Would be the craziest call

Ayeee we lit let’s goooo 💪🏻😂 I love it
Albuquerque NM. Home of some VERY good peyote apparently.
I dunno about that but our sticky icky is on point. Not gonna lie, might of had a lil to do with my 11-6 call lol.
WSH, CHI ,NYG are interesting. He may be right on those.
They aren't beating the Bears at Chicago. The Bears are MILES ahead of the Panthers talent wise let alone NYG and Wash.
@@kenyattaclay7666 Ya, Bears defense is just so much better even ignoring the offensive potential.
Bears have 3 #1 wr’s
If the panthers beat the bears I’ll eat my shoe
Ah man, they should require these fans to call back at the end of the season. Need to hear the 5-12 in their voice.
I'll call back in, I'm not nostradamus after all. Not sure anyone would care to hear back from me tho 🤷♂️
I guarantee you this dude won't care lmao. Bro's just having fun and being a fan for his team.
5-12 would be a good season this year
This is one of the best segments in sports media
11-6 does sound a bit optimistic but when you go game by game... 10-7 is in the cards. There is a fan who truly loves football.
Thank you sir. Lifelong Panther fan here and felt that if I bothered to call in then I might as well go big or go home right? One of these years will be our year!
I felt crazy saying they had an eight win ceiling 😂 (probs like four wins)
Keeppounding Mike I'm with ya
Micheal is sky high on that Blue Sky
More like Blue Dream, but same difference 😂

The panthers fan in New Mexico is making his picks like he just smoked some of Walter’s Meth….
Definition of delusional😂😂😂 11-6😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I will take 6-11
Keep Pounding!!!
Lol I love the confidence
Can’t wait to go to Tampa on Dec 29th!!

Finally a reasonable forecast for those 2024 Panthers! Smart guy!

This seems like a very accurate and possible prediction
Yesssuh‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️🎉🎉🎉
Keep Pounding....
So basically one of the greatest turnaround seasons in the history of sports. Hey I’m rooting for Bryce Young. 6-7 wins more realistic.

Raiders smashing the panthers tf 😂
Panthers will win 8 wins this season and win the NFC south this season .
I’ve got this video booked marked. Can’t wait to hear the munching of 🐦⬛😁
Same!
Hey, I'm not above eating crow, but for now we might as well set our sights on the moon!
As a panther fan ain’t no way we are going 11-6 lol our ceiling is prob 9-8 realistically prob around 5-12 to 8-9 if we win some toss up games
I want some of the STUFF hes smoking...
Haha, I might have been a lil too stoned before calling in but I stand by my prediction 😁

I am a believer
Love this guy's enthusiasm but he is delusional. I see 6 or 7 wins tops on their schedule
They said we wouldn’t win 5 games around this time in 2015 and this offense is 20x better despite cam
The main thing Panthers fans should be worrying about is if Bryce shows himself to be a franchise quarterback.
The Panthers are cursed for not drafting Sam Howell. I lit the candles and everything.
Dude smoking that Blue Sky
life long panthers fan here but come on man. we wish lol!

😂 Glad I could be of service to you and your son haha. They haven't broken my spirits yet.
Unhinged
Living crazy is the only way my man. Good luck to your raiders. See you week 3!
“Chiefs No”🤣
Always the possibility of a trap game, and I'd love nothing more than a win against the defending champs, but I was just being realistic 😄
When you take it game by game, 11-6 don't sound unrealistic tbh
Lets Gooo!!! 11-6 it is. Worst to First! Keep Pounding!!!
Thats what I'm saying, someone's gotta do it, why not us?? GPKP
You can't argue with a team doubling their last season win total. I'd be happy with 4 wins from them.
I think it should be 7
They have such a weak schedule and the weakest division yet all the weak teams have upgraded so much more then them. Their closer to 2-15 than anything.
Hell yeah dude
Rich’s off season topics are sensational 😂
Gotta make the off-season go by somehow right?
Just here to say that we are not, or have ever been, a paper bag team. We're not Cincy, New Orleans, or Detroit.
Panthers will have the #1 pick next year.
They did get better, but 9 wins would be considered a success.
Do they have moonshine distilleries in NC?
Yes. A lot.

I can taste it already 😃
If we stay healthy and that Oline does its job, yessir!
I got them going 7-10 best case scenario 9-8
Poor panther fans lol (im one myself). We arent winning more than 3-4 games this year 😂
The REAL funny part is NOTHING he said was crazy.. Besides like 5 games NONE of these games even on paper look “far better than the panthers”..
Most delusional pick I’ve heard
panthers are not winning 11 games next season. 6 wins would be a huge step in the right direction; let's start there.
New Mexico, Arizona way to many chances these choices are Paote Powered.
That’s right, sound it out.
Maybe to much Peyote.
@CaseyWinehouse public schools again. smh
I love my Panthers, but I very much doubt we win more than 7 games this year. But hey who knows
I see 3 or 4 wins for lina
This is why the nation keeps laughing at our fanbase. 5 wins MAX.

flip it.................hopefully 6-11.

Keep Pounding
I got them at 12-5
Crazy or not, who cares.. I believe in this squad and Canales
5-12 at best
Let's go!!!
7-10
This aged like milk 💀
7 wins
Honestly that’s an easy schedule
