Boy, he was Barry 0:00:32.450 --> 0:00:34.709 Bonds after the celebration. 0:00:34.750 --> 0:00:37.390 I seen that. Him and old T-Mac. I said, who 0:00:37.409 --> 0:00:38.630 do y'all think y'all are? 0:00:39.330 --> 0:00:40.430 Y'all are speedy. 0:00:40.690 --> 0:00:40.949 Yeah. 0:00:41.150 --> 0:00:41.880 And I love it. 0:00:42.090 --> 0:00:44.110 I said, goodness gracious. 0:00:44.710 --> 0:00:46.930 Boy, that boy was out there willing and dealing. 0:00:47.170 --> 0:00:47.410 Yeah. 0:00:47.850 --> 0:00:50.060 Boy, that boy was out there having some fun. with 0:00:50.100 --> 0:00:51.159 the most innocent face. 0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:51.800 Yeah, I know. 0:00:51.979 --> 0:00:52.400 Innocent? 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:57.090 I mean, boy! You know what you gotta look at there, dude? 0:00:57.340 --> 0:01:02.350 Ever since Bryce Young got benched, boy, he came back 0:01:02.390 --> 0:01:06.490 with Avengers. Ever since his girl got took, but Cam, 0:01:06.530 --> 0:01:08.670 why you gotta do all that? Boy, I'm telling you, 0:01:08.690 --> 0:01:09.350 it's something. 0:01:09.090 --> 0:01:09.619 About you, bro. 0:01:17.270 --> 0:01:19.230 Welcome back to the Mac and Bone show on this 0:01:19.270 --> 0:01:22.610 football Friday. That was the voice of Panthers legend Cam 0:01:22.630 --> 0:01:26.390 Newton right there and Peggy as well on their podcast. 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:28.340 Maccas, you were in the hallway. Everything okay out there 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:31.140 right now? I was congratulating Tampa Tammy on getting out 0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:34.680 of the donut club, getting out of the zero win club. 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:38.360 I was giving her sarcastic applause. She then wanted to 0:01:38.420 --> 0:01:42.000 show me where her seats will be. on Monday Night 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:45.870 Football for the Panthers and the Bucs. And I told 0:01:45.910 --> 0:01:49.050 her she will be crying hysterically in those seats. Those 0:01:49.090 --> 0:01:51.610 seats will be dripping with tears. That also could be 0:01:51.650 --> 0:01:52.550 a Sunday at 1 p.m. 0:01:52.590 --> 0:01:53.190 Game there, Tammy. 0:01:53.210 --> 0:01:56.210 Your team doesn't get better. It's not us. 0:01:56.610 --> 0:02:00.540 That is making that a possible flex game. They want 0:02:00.580 --> 0:02:03.900 the Panthers in primetime. They need us in primetime because 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:06.580 Bryce-a-mania is running wild, brother. 0:02:06.780 --> 0:02:09.560 Slow clap, slow clap. Dallas, I thought, was really bad 0:02:09.620 --> 0:02:12.690 last night, but the Bucs needed that win. And the Cowboys, 0:02:12.770 --> 0:02:17.889 in typical Cowboy annoying fashion, it's very rare occasions when 0:02:17.910 --> 0:02:21.980 they're playing NFC South teams that I actually pull for them. 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:25.380 And I feel like, bone, anytime I try to, they 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:28.139 just let me down. So, Cowboys, let's just mock you. 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:30.160 Let's spend the day mocking you then. 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:32.990 You had the full Cowboy experience, though. You rooted for them, 0:02:33.030 --> 0:02:36.490 they let you down. It's true. If you start wearing 0:02:36.550 --> 0:02:38.930 jorts and talking about 93, well, then you might be 0:02:38.950 --> 0:02:39.329 a Cowboy. 0:02:39.350 --> 0:02:41.250 Shoot, now I know why y'all talk about the 90s 0:02:41.310 --> 0:02:46.890 all the time. That was frustrating. All right, let's talk about— 0:02:46.970 --> 0:02:52.940 That was Cowboys. Let's talk, Boney, about the Panthers post-bye week. 0:02:53.060 --> 0:02:56.200 Let's start to look ahead to the next quarter of 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.440 the season. I heard Mike Kay on with KB yesterday 0:02:59.500 --> 0:03:01.609 saying this is the first time in five years the 0:03:01.630 --> 0:03:03.549 Panthers have not had a losing record in the first 0:03:03.610 --> 0:03:06.910 quarter of the season. So even though 2-2, you're looking 0:03:06.930 --> 0:03:09.230 at that Browns game like, damn, we were so close 0:03:09.270 --> 0:03:11.740 to being 3-1 and having a really good start to 0:03:11.780 --> 0:03:14.859 the season record-wise. But two and two, based on the 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:18.940 way we've started seasons recently, is an upgrade. 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:23.470 Especially after the way the first game went. Yes, the 0:03:23.550 --> 0:03:25.730 offense played well, but it looked like, oh my goodness. 0:03:26.910 --> 0:03:29.070 Is this defense back to two years ago? Are they 0:03:29.110 --> 0:03:32.250 that bad? So from what the vibes were on that 0:03:32.350 --> 0:03:36.210 Monday after game one to what they are now by week, 0:03:36.350 --> 0:03:39.390 it could have been a lot worse to be two 0:03:39.450 --> 0:03:42.150 and two than what we saw after the first game. 0:03:42.170 --> 0:03:45.850 Defense seventh in EPA over the last three weeks. So 0:03:45.950 --> 0:03:48.950 I can definitely tell you, Bone, that is not what 0:03:48.970 --> 0:03:49.850 they're going to look like. 0:03:50.330 --> 0:03:53.650 Every week. But I think because of the injuries, I 0:03:53.670 --> 0:03:56.420 think two and two bone feels a certain way because 0:03:56.460 --> 0:04:00.160 they've been so ravaged by injuries. You know, I think that, 0:04:00.540 --> 0:04:02.880 I think that is what, like, you'll get the occasional 0:04:02.900 --> 0:04:05.000 texter that's like, we're two and two, why are you 0:04:05.020 --> 0:04:07.080 guys acting like, why are you this happy? And it's like, 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:09.820 because of what they overcame, because of the volume of 0:04:09.910 --> 0:04:12.210 injuries and the fact, bone, that you know some of 0:04:12.250 --> 0:04:14.890 these guys are coming back. And it's just, what did 0:04:14.930 --> 0:04:18.220 we say last week? Just, hold down the fort, just 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:21.410 hang in there until you start getting more and more 0:04:21.430 --> 0:04:24.609 guys back. So that's why that win was so freaking 0:04:24.630 --> 0:04:28.360 huge on Sunday. But now the question is, what do 0:04:28.390 --> 0:04:30.979 we do in the next quarter of the season? So 0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:33.060 I want to take advantage of this bye week to 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:36.060 kind of look ahead to the next four games. We've 0:04:36.220 --> 0:04:39.460 already talked a bunch about the fact that These first 0:04:39.550 --> 0:04:42.550 three opponents have all looked, I think, worse than we 0:04:42.610 --> 0:04:45.730 expected them all to be. Far from guarantees that you're 0:04:45.750 --> 0:04:49.410 going to win the next three. But you've got, after 0:04:49.450 --> 0:04:53.349 the Eagles come back from London, they then, which is 0:04:53.410 --> 0:04:57.210 not advantageous for them, for next week's game, they then 0:04:57.290 --> 0:05:00.630 host the Panthers next week. The week after that, it 0:05:00.750 --> 0:05:06.440 is the Panthers and the Buccaneers. Then after that, it's 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:11.540 the Packers hosting the Panthers. That's a Thursday night game. 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.500 And then it is Panthers at home the next week 0:05:14.940 --> 0:05:18.940 against the Broncos. Who have their own situations going on 0:05:18.980 --> 0:05:21.040 right now. It's another team that I would say, I mean, 0:05:21.060 --> 0:05:24.960 I know that record-wise it hasn't been horrible, but... You 0:05:24.980 --> 0:05:28.339 look at the Broncos, and their offense is 27th in EPA. 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:32.789 Sean Payton yesterday officially announced that he is taking the 0:05:32.820 --> 0:05:36.330 play-calling duties back, which, by the way, when he announced 0:05:36.370 --> 0:05:40.430 Davis Webb was calling plays in the summer, everybody thought, yeah, 0:05:40.710 --> 0:05:42.210 that day will come. This day will come. 0:05:42.230 --> 0:05:44.690 It's almost like he wants to be the hero to 0:05:44.750 --> 0:05:48.500 swoop in and save the offense, but maybe that's just me. 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:53.339 These games are winnable. But as we know in the NFL, 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:55.380 and as we know with the Carolina Panthers, win one, 0:05:55.420 --> 0:05:58.210 lose one, win one, lose one, we know they're losable too. 0:05:58.910 --> 0:06:02.670 So I ask everybody out there that's listening in Panther Nation, 0:06:03.150 --> 0:06:08.370 those four games, Eagles, Bucks, Green Bay, Denver, what do 0:06:08.390 --> 0:06:12.820 you think for the next quarter of the season? How 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:14.659 many wins do you see in there, Bo? 0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:18.080 I see three and one, which would be great. I 0:06:18.100 --> 0:06:20.600 think they're three and one. I think they're going to 0:06:20.620 --> 0:06:23.790 beat Tampa Bay. Part of me thinks that they're going 0:06:23.810 --> 0:06:26.990 to beat Green Bay again. I'm trying to debate because 0:06:27.010 --> 0:06:30.810 I don't think 4-0 would be a realistic thing to say. 0:06:30.870 --> 0:06:34.210 So I do think they'll lose one. I don't know 0:06:34.230 --> 0:06:36.490 if it'll be Philadelphia. Philadelphia, man, we have to see 0:06:36.570 --> 0:06:39.330 after Sunday how much of a mess they are because 0:06:39.350 --> 0:06:42.050 I'm trending towards they're also going to get the Eagles 0:06:42.110 --> 0:06:45.370 at the right time, I think, with their offensive line stuff, 0:06:45.410 --> 0:06:46.549 just their general vibe. 0:06:47.070 --> 0:06:47.969 Denver, maybe? 0:06:49.350 --> 0:06:51.640 Will be a loss in part because I will be 0:06:51.660 --> 0:06:55.340 at that game. And if I check my numbers since 2021, 0:06:55.339 --> 0:06:58.560 I'm 0-12 when I watch my football teams in attendance. 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.520 Oh, yeah, just chalk that one. We shouldn't even watch. 0:07:01.700 --> 0:07:04.010 I get the sense that they'll most likely lose when 0:07:04.029 --> 0:07:06.790 I'm there. So I will say 3-1 up with Denver. 0:07:07.510 --> 0:07:09.770 Probably has the best team of that group, of course, 0:07:10.190 --> 0:07:11.190 with the way Philadelphia's playing. 0:07:11.210 --> 0:07:13.950 So I'll go 3-1. I think 3-1 would be a 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:17.560 really freaking good quarter. I think that would be taking 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:20.120 a step forward. And I think we're going to get 0:07:20.300 --> 0:07:23.020 HN back. It sounds like Turk and Moten are pretty 0:07:23.060 --> 0:07:25.580 close to coming back. And then once we get through 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:28.170 this quarter, then you're going to be probably pretty close 0:07:28.190 --> 0:07:30.250 to Mike Jack. And you're going to start to get 0:07:30.290 --> 0:07:33.790 closer to J.C. Horn. So there will be help on 0:07:33.830 --> 0:07:36.830 the way here eventually, which I love. I think this 0:07:36.890 --> 0:07:40.120 Panther team has a chance, Bone, getting these guys back 0:07:40.450 --> 0:07:42.400 by the end of the season to really be playing 0:07:42.420 --> 0:07:45.420 good football and to really be an improved good team. 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:49.160 I just want to say this. Recent history of the 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:52.640 Carolina Panthers, Bone, what would it say the record will be? 0:07:54.740 --> 0:07:57.860 Two and two. Yeah. Because it's the lose one, lose 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:01.700 one thing you said. Win one, lose one. Win one, 0:08:01.740 --> 0:08:04.000 lose one. What did I say? Lose one, lose one. 0:08:04.260 --> 0:08:06.500 That was the Frank Reich Panthers and the Matt Ruhle Panthers. 0:08:08.380 --> 0:08:12.060 Frank Reich was lose ten, win none. 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:15.450 Matt Ruhle was lose one, lose another one, lose the 0:08:15.470 --> 0:08:18.070 next one, lose the one after that, get fired. 0:08:18.110 --> 0:08:21.170 So I know this is being conservative. My goal is 0:08:21.230 --> 0:08:24.390 three and one. That's another conversation we can have, too. 0:08:24.430 --> 0:08:26.690 What do you think their record will be? What are 0:08:26.730 --> 0:08:30.869 you aiming for? I think 3-1 is a very achievable, 0:08:31.430 --> 0:08:35.960 reasonable goal. Then you'd be two games over. 500 at 0:08:36.030 --> 0:08:39.980 close to the halfway point. I think we're better than 0:08:40.059 --> 0:08:42.640 the Bucs. I think we're better than the Eagles right now. 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:47.380 And the Packers are certainly, I don't think Jordan Love's 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:49.439 playing great. They've got all kind of issues on their 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:50.880 defense and on their own line. 0:08:51.660 --> 0:08:54.130 Michael Parsons will probably be back for that game, right? 0:08:54.290 --> 0:08:55.949 Keep that in mind, right? That's right around the time 0:08:55.970 --> 0:08:58.030 he should be back, right? Yeah, he could be back 0:08:58.070 --> 0:09:00.850 for that game, no doubt about it. But I think 0:09:00.890 --> 0:09:02.970 we're better than the next three teams that we play. 0:09:04.309 --> 0:09:05.890 I think I'm just going to put us at two 0:09:05.950 --> 0:09:08.530 and two because we don't like to see the Browns game, Bone. 0:09:09.050 --> 0:09:13.790 We don't beat this just in. The Panthers don't necessarily, Bone, 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:16.530 beat the teams they should beat all the time. See 0:09:16.550 --> 0:09:19.400 the two Saints games last year. So I'm going to 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:22.440 go kind of conservative, and I'm going to challenge the 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:25.420 Panthers to go three and one in this stretch. I'm 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:27.260 sure they're all paying attention on our biweek, Bone, to 0:09:27.300 --> 0:09:30.160 my challenge. They all put over in their cars. Hey, listen, 0:09:30.179 --> 0:09:32.380 take a note. They're recording this. They're taking notes like 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:36.220 they're Carly Ursae Gordon right now. Listen in. I'm going 0:09:36.260 --> 0:09:38.559 to challenge them. Go get three and one. That will 0:09:38.580 --> 0:09:40.400 show growth. And I think there's a very good chance 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:42.460 they can do three and one. I am just going 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:45.500 to play recent trends and say two and two. But, like, 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:47.760 what games would I say they're going to lose? Because 0:09:47.780 --> 0:09:50.350 I do think they're better than the next three. If 0:09:50.390 --> 0:09:53.990 they lose one of the next three, who would you 0:09:54.050 --> 0:09:59.390 say is most likely? Well, Thursday night. Will the Bucs 0:09:59.429 --> 0:09:59.970 have Bakerman? 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:02.420 Thursday nights are kind of crazy thursday nights are hard 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:04.620 to predict as we saw last night those are yeah are. 0:10:04.540 --> 0:10:07.579 We going to sweep them in lambo back-to-back years i'd. 0:10:07.460 --> 0:10:09.420 Say green bay probably you think that's the most again 0:10:09.460 --> 0:10:12.710 that goes into my concern about the style of of 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:14.679 green bay and their ability to throw the ball down 0:10:14.710 --> 0:10:17.490 the field and take shots and the secondary issues that 0:10:17.510 --> 0:10:19.650 we're still going to have then that that that would 0:10:19.670 --> 0:10:22.290 be my concern with that of is that caleb evans 0:10:22.330 --> 0:10:24.969 in there on Watson or Golden, they are going to 0:10:25.010 --> 0:10:26.950 try to take advantage of that all night long. So 0:10:27.270 --> 0:10:29.319 there's a ways to go before that, but I probably 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:33.160 would say of those three, Green Bay, one of our 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:37.010 texters back is worried about quarterbacks that can move like 0:10:37.070 --> 0:10:40.670 Hurts or Like Daniels, like Bo Nix, he's a little 0:10:40.690 --> 0:10:42.900 concerned about quarterbacks that can move in the pocket. 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:46.340 That's a good call. Lord knows we saw it with 0:10:47.100 --> 0:10:50.800 the lack of contain with Williams and Watson. And I 0:10:50.850 --> 0:10:53.469 don't want to act like the Broncos. Every one of 0:10:53.510 --> 0:10:55.230 these four games is winnable. And I have to be 0:10:55.250 --> 0:10:57.849 honest with you, I have taken a peak, Boney. I 0:10:57.870 --> 0:10:59.929 have taken a peek at the rest of the schedule, 0:11:00.300 --> 0:11:03.260 not just the front. I'm already breaking Coach Canales' rule 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:06.880 of looking past one game, but that's what we do here. 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:10.750 But the whole schedule, there are a whole bunch of 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:14.550 winnable games on the schedule. Like the only game, matter 0:11:14.570 --> 0:11:17.330 of fact, there's none that aren't winnable. If you were 0:11:17.350 --> 0:11:19.170 to tell me, Bone, they would beat Seattle at home, 0:11:19.490 --> 0:11:22.620 despite what happened last year, Seattle at home, I would say, yeah, 0:11:22.660 --> 0:11:25.400 they can do that. The Panthers are capable of that. 0:11:25.700 --> 0:11:28.229 Beat the Rams at home last year, you know? Yeah. 0:11:28.250 --> 0:11:31.310 So like it is a schedule bone where it, every 0:11:31.350 --> 0:11:34.089 game feels like they could win it or they could 0:11:34.130 --> 0:11:34.489 lose it. 0:11:34.809 --> 0:11:37.930 Mac, I had some well-documented issues with New Orleans last year. 0:11:37.970 --> 0:11:41.390 That was a three scores galore, the home game. And I, 0:11:42.130 --> 0:11:44.030 I had some problems back with the saints and it's 0:11:44.070 --> 0:11:47.170 been talked about a lot. Am I allowed to, I'm 0:11:47.190 --> 0:11:49.890 not allowed to look past these four and look at 0:11:49.910 --> 0:11:52.449 New Orleans, but me specifically, I've, I can't look at 0:11:52.490 --> 0:11:54.189 New Orleans, right? I can't look at the way they're 0:11:54.210 --> 0:11:56.829 playing right now. I can't do that, right? 0:11:57.070 --> 0:11:58.520 Just stop me right now. You can look at it, 0:11:58.510 --> 0:12:01.520 but you better not go multiple scores galore or a 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:06.180 bunch of horrifying gore or whatever you're going to do. 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:10.060 New Orleans has– all these teams there all have their problems, 0:12:10.140 --> 0:12:15.140 including New Orleans. So I'm just– I notice. I notice 0:12:15.179 --> 0:12:18.730 the Saints there after these four games– I just noticed that. 0:12:18.750 --> 0:12:20.949 Well, dude, you should be looking for the Falcons game 0:12:20.970 --> 0:12:23.270 because based off some of the texts we've been getting 0:12:23.700 --> 0:12:26.520 since Atlanta has had the two route wins on the road, 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:28.459 we are going to be playing the greatest team in 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.360 the history of organized football when we play the Falcons 0:12:31.420 --> 0:12:34.900 the second time this season. My God. Michael Penix, I 0:12:34.940 --> 0:12:37.660 get it. He came backbone, and they all of a 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:41.699 sudden look like a functioning team now. But this whole 0:12:41.740 --> 0:12:44.849 thing where people act like Michael Penix Jr. is an 0:12:44.910 --> 0:12:47.670 all-time great quarterback, like there's going to be a moment 0:12:47.870 --> 0:12:51.250 where he throws three pickles in a game and they 0:12:51.290 --> 0:12:53.690 lose and everybody's like, oh, yeah, that's right. There's going 0:12:53.710 --> 0:12:55.569 to be a moment, Bone, where they get down early 0:12:55.610 --> 0:12:58.150 and can't lean on the run and Penix has to 0:12:58.210 --> 0:13:00.580 throw it 45 times where they are going to be 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:04.290 screwed and everybody's going to be like, oh, yeah. I 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:07.679 ain't buying all that Falcon type, man. I'm not buying it. 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:09.440 How about the guy that texted in and said, why 0:13:09.460 --> 0:13:14.059 do we think the Falcons aren't better than the Panthers? 0:13:14.100 --> 0:13:16.319 Or why are we not counting the Falcons as being 0:13:16.340 --> 0:13:19.500 better than the Panthers? Because Pennix is back now. I 0:13:19.540 --> 0:13:21.540 had to ask the question. Pennix was there last year. 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:23.960 What was that result? And it was 30 to nothing. Well, 0:13:23.980 --> 0:13:25.679 how about this one? How many points we beat Atlanta 0:13:25.700 --> 0:13:26.179 by this year? 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:31.030 A million. 31. 31. Is Michael Penix worth 31 points? 0:13:31.690 --> 0:13:34.930 Absolutely not. Anyway, I know I'm getting ahead of myself. 0:13:34.970 --> 0:13:37.310 We said we were looking at the next quarter. By 0:13:37.350 --> 0:13:39.890 the way, that's the last game of the year. There's 0:13:39.970 --> 0:13:42.410 no telling about Penix's health by that point in the season. 0:13:42.470 --> 0:13:44.190 That's true, too. We have no clue. No idea what 0:13:44.210 --> 0:13:45.770 he's going to be like. That is true, too. And 0:13:45.790 --> 0:13:48.820 there's no telling about our health, too. Unfortunately, Bone, the 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:51.040 bye week being at week five is perfect for us 0:13:51.059 --> 0:13:53.079 with all our injuries, but that means we've got to 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:56.490 go 12 straight weeks. And you just got to cross 0:13:56.510 --> 0:13:58.709 your fingers when it comes to the injury gods, 12 0:13:58.710 --> 0:13:59.750 straight weeks of football. 0:13:59.790 --> 0:14:01.830 I don't know if this is the ghost of MFG 0:14:01.870 --> 0:14:04.520 that's having trouble here with the counting, but there's a 0:14:04.530 --> 0:14:07.480 texter that has us going 5-0 in the next four games. 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:10.559 I would love to see if we pull that. 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:11.000 Off, man. 0:14:11.020 --> 0:14:13.970 That would be miraculous. I think we're about to go 5-0. 0:14:14.110 --> 0:14:16.309 So what do you guys think? The next four games, 0:14:16.410 --> 0:14:20.490 what are your schedule plans? your record predictions for the 0:14:20.530 --> 0:14:24.730 next four games. Philly, Tampa Bay, Green Bay, and Denver, 704-570-9610. 0:14:24.790 --> 0:14:30.080 All right, what are people saying here? Sean from Charlotte 0:14:30.460 --> 0:14:32.960 says one in three. I say one in three so 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:37.320 we can do the opposite. What's White Knight yapping about here? 0:14:38.180 --> 0:14:40.400 White Knight. The way Mac talks about Pennix is the 0:14:40.420 --> 0:14:43.140 way most people think of Bryce. Not anymore, pal. White Knight, 0:14:43.180 --> 0:14:45.030 I don't know if you've actually had your eyes open 0:14:45.930 --> 0:14:48.970 this week, but Bryce Young is being absolutely fawned over. 0:14:49.890 --> 0:14:53.710 And with good reason. He's had an absolute amazing start 0:14:54.070 --> 0:14:56.700 four games into a season. So let's get a bigger 0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:59.220 sample size of Michael. I'm telling you right now, get 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.619 that Michael Pennix garbage the hell out of here. I 0:15:01.660 --> 0:15:04.600 wish we were playing him next week. Like, seriously. I just... 0:15:06.540 --> 0:15:09.910 Look at Bijan Robinson's stats and look at Jameer Gibbs' 0:15:09.930 --> 0:15:12.950 stats against the Panthers and look at them against everybody else. 0:15:14.510 --> 0:15:18.090 I'm telling you, man. I'm telling you, man. They can 0:15:18.110 --> 0:15:21.630 handle Bijan and not let him destroy them. 0:15:21.730 --> 0:15:24.230 You think after beating a team as soundly as they 0:15:24.270 --> 0:15:27.160 have and how well they play against Atlanta— not just 0:15:27.780 --> 0:15:31.090 this year, but with Price, you think that the Falcons 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:33.130 wouldn't be the most concerning thing on people's minds? 0:15:33.250 --> 0:15:35.290 I wouldn't think so, but there is some of y'all 0:15:35.330 --> 0:15:39.490 buying the hype. Let's see here. SU fan, they can 0:15:39.530 --> 0:15:43.680 go 4-0 over the next four games. They should go 3-1, 0:15:43.930 --> 0:15:47.310 but probably will go 2-2. I kind of like the 0:15:47.330 --> 0:15:50.810 way you're putting that out there. That's why I said 2-2. 0:15:52.070 --> 0:15:55.210 At some point, though, Bone, the question is, Does this 0:15:55.270 --> 0:15:59.490 team become more consistent? Does this team beat teams that 0:15:59.630 --> 0:16:02.380 they are better than, that they can beat, should beat, 0:16:02.420 --> 0:16:05.440 that sort of thing? And do they do it consistently? 0:16:05.860 --> 0:16:07.739 If they reach that point, Bone, it's going to be 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:09.300 glorious in their evolution. 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:10.960 I like the fact that there's not a lot of 0:16:11.020 --> 0:16:13.080 negative people. No one said, oh, they're going to go 0:16:13.100 --> 0:16:15.830 1-3 or 0-4. haven't really got a whole lot of 0:16:15.850 --> 0:16:17.450 negatives on there that's that's a good. 0:16:17.350 --> 0:16:20.490 Sign anthony says should get two wins hoping for three 0:16:20.550 --> 0:16:24.170 wins this dude says why the hell are y'all talking 0:16:24.190 --> 0:16:26.970 about the last game of the season when the conversation 0:16:27.030 --> 0:16:29.310 is about the next four games because we've got some 0:16:29.370 --> 0:16:31.930 people that are bringing up atlanta and we addressed atlanta 0:16:32.340 --> 0:16:33.720 and it happens to be the last game of the 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:36.880 season pay attention pay read your script I listen. Have 0:16:36.940 --> 0:16:37.840 I gotten off track? 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:38.080 Yes. 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:39.400 Have I gotten off track? 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:39.480 100%. 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:42.340 What show are you listening to, sir? But I can't 0:16:42.380 --> 0:16:44.880 help it. It's hype of the Falcons. A team like 0:16:44.940 --> 0:16:47.800 bone said that we currently own that Bryce owns who 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:50.060 annoys the crap out of me. I just, I, my 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:53.760 impulse control bone was not good enough to resist getting 0:16:53.820 --> 0:16:56.750 caught up in that fitting breaking news. Fan base talks 0:16:56.780 --> 0:16:59.270 about rival. I want to bring Fitty in on this 0:16:59.390 --> 0:17:02.830 one right now. Fitty, what is your prediction for the 0:17:02.890 --> 0:17:04.790 next quarter of the season? When we come out of 0:17:04.810 --> 0:17:06.070 the by the next four games. 0:17:06.230 --> 0:17:08.770 Yeah, a 704 number wrote in saying I would say 0:17:08.850 --> 0:17:11.710 they would go 4-0. Now, here's the thing, Mac. I 0:17:11.750 --> 0:17:14.250 will probably pick them to win each of their next 0:17:14.310 --> 0:17:14.869 four games. 0:17:16.250 --> 0:17:17.030 Spoiler alert! 0:17:17.210 --> 0:17:19.109 Cannot confirm or deny. You'll have to wait until we 0:17:19.130 --> 0:17:23.270 panther up the next four games. I think I'm in 0:17:23.310 --> 0:17:28.120 the category of this. They should go 3-1. Like, they 0:17:28.260 --> 0:17:32.550 should be a 5-3 football team at the... unofficial halfway 0:17:32.609 --> 0:17:33.530 point of the season. 0:17:33.550 --> 0:17:35.350 That'd be real nice with the injuries, man. 0:17:35.650 --> 0:17:39.940 I think they'll be four and four just because they 0:17:39.980 --> 0:17:44.159 haven't earned that trust. I know what they're capable of doing. 0:17:44.180 --> 0:17:48.210 I know what they're capable of being. But we still 0:17:48.230 --> 0:17:50.770 have yet to take that step where I can trust 0:17:50.790 --> 0:17:54.080 them to show up and be a consistent football team 0:17:54.619 --> 0:17:59.320 on a weekend, week-out basis. So that's the challenge for 0:17:59.340 --> 0:18:02.150 Canales and this group, man. They've proven that they can 0:18:02.190 --> 0:18:04.419 do it. And they've proven they can do it with 0:18:04.460 --> 0:18:05.859 their backs against the wall. 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:07.810 So are you staying 2-2 or are you going 3-1? 0:18:07.830 --> 0:18:12.030 Because that's the battle, I think, in most Panther fans' minds. 0:18:12.270 --> 0:18:15.090 I don't like being measured because I usually come up 0:18:15.130 --> 0:18:18.419 the short end of the stick. So I'll lean 3-1. 0:18:18.990 --> 0:18:22.750 But if we're 4-4, Mac, I won't be surprised. I 0:18:23.190 --> 0:18:25.550 want the Philly game, though. Look, if you're telling me 0:18:25.570 --> 0:18:27.869 we can only get one win, give me Philly. 0:18:28.070 --> 0:18:30.409 I don't want to beat Sean Payton. That's the one 0:18:30.490 --> 0:18:31.110 I would want the. 0:18:31.030 --> 0:18:31.359 Most, man. 0:18:31.369 --> 0:18:34.629 Even though, but Mac, if we get Sirianni, and I 0:18:34.650 --> 0:18:36.610 think they're going to lose to Jacksonville this week in London, 0:18:37.210 --> 0:18:38.500 there's a very good chance. 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:41.100 Reaper. He's getting canned. Reaper game. 0:18:41.180 --> 0:18:43.040 Could you imagine that montage of men? 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:44.820 We'd have to do two of them. Got it. One 0:18:44.859 --> 0:18:46.659 for the game, then one for his ass getting fired. 0:18:46.680 --> 0:18:49.290 The problem is, if we get Sirianni fireboned, the Philly 0:18:49.330 --> 0:18:51.790 fans would be happy. You know what I mean? It'd 0:18:51.810 --> 0:18:53.209 be a montage of celebration. 0:18:53.940 --> 0:18:57.909 Texter says even two and two, considering Mike Jack and 0:18:57.970 --> 0:19:00.990 Horn are out in this stretch that seemed like the 0:19:01.030 --> 0:19:03.830 toughest of the year weeks ago, would still be pretty 0:19:03.869 --> 0:19:06.360 good for this Panther team. I think he's saying that, yeah, 0:19:06.380 --> 0:19:08.780 they won without those guys the other day. They also 0:19:08.820 --> 0:19:11.760 did that last year. Could they continue winning without those 0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:15.160 guys even two and two? would be something to build 0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:16.610 off of for the rest of the season. Hell, you 0:19:16.660 --> 0:19:18.889 could go 2-2. You'd be 4-4. You still might be 0:19:18.910 --> 0:19:19.869 in first place in the South. 0:19:19.930 --> 0:19:22.570 Right. You know what I mean? Atlanta's got a tough 0:19:22.590 --> 0:19:24.930 schedule coming up. So, yeah, you could still be sitting 0:19:24.970 --> 0:19:27.700 there in first place. And I do think we need to, 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:31.040 to Dexter's point– I do think we need to, Bone, 0:19:31.060 --> 0:19:34.020 not act like every– we gave up 410 passing yards 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:36.780 without those two. We do need to acknowledge that that 0:19:36.820 --> 0:19:40.030 is still not ideal. So let's see here. We're getting 0:19:40.050 --> 0:19:42.110
