LIVE REACTION: Carolina Panthers are NFC South Champions

44 comments

1. NFC SOUTH CHAMPIONS!!!

2. As long as we're competitive with whoever we play, I won't mind losing this one. From where we came from to now, next year is so full of hope!

3. Rams vs Panthers: we're done in the Wild Card

   49ers vs Panthers: we're done in the Divisional Round

4. keep pounding

5. Playoffs at da bank!!!!

6. lol holding anything back?! I expect same conservative game plans

7. Backed in but I was not expecting us to make playoffs. I was hoping for improvement this year and we got that. Just concerned about very conservative game plans on both sides of the ball

8. Would it make sense to put XL in a TE role since the loss of Sanders? Then put Moore at the 3rd WR spot

9. 6:00 Isn’t CJ Henderson also a former Panther, the CB that got toasted for a late touchdown before he tripped over his own damned feet? How is this guy still in the league?

10. Watch the bandwagons cone around now that we in the Playoffs 😂 nah stay where you at this celebration is only for the believers 💯

11. We should've been won the division but happy nonetheless

12. Champs

13. Guys… keep doing what y’all doing! Telling the truth & being honest. My wife & I consider y’all as our football buddies. Lol the homies we compare our perspectives to. Keep pounding guys!😎

14. The Falcons owed us a debt being a fact that we swept them and we owe the saints so your dad going right I was going for Falcons they're basically wearing Alabama with just their logo keep rising and pounding too!!!!🎉😂😂😮

15. Making the playoffs in a rebuilding year is a win win regardless of what happens next

16. WE DESERVE THIS!! KEEP POUNDING 💪🏾🏆🐾🐾

17. Idc how we got in, this is a tremendous accomplishment based on where we have been the past few years…maybe this will bring some free agency attention here!

18. This is a new regime, we gotta remember that … Dave and Dan full 2nd year and Bryce full second year in the same offense . Regardless how we got here they showed some kind of improvement with room to grow

19. Funny looking at the sunday night fox wrap up. Even when they talk about the teams in the playoffs they kind of mention the Panthers because they have to. I hope we pull an App State on somebody.

20. 42:40 But the refs absolutely did have something with the poor 3rd down conversions as they called back multiple conversions with bullshit calls! That T-Mac OPI call was on third down, that Rico lateral call turned 2nd and 10 into 3rd and 16 and those are just two of the series ending calls that affected the types and of plays that get called, time of possession, and the number that of plays that we have run.

21. My #1 gripe about Dave is he just trys to ultra big brain some plays. There have been a couple times this year where it really bit us in the ass

22. I predict another bad weather game but this time we win!

23. Nobody knew this team was a play off team during the offseason lol

24. Dare I catch myself saying "we" during that game cause I did but the Falcons can sign the peace treaty after this layup of a win. It's only Aint's and Bucs now on the opposition. I called it tho last week after the Seahawks game, we were gonna get in by Atlanta winning and us losing. It's the only way in the NFC South. And at this time we got the Rams in our stadium again so I'ma need to hear everyone KEEEEEEEEEEEEP

25. Lesson on how to celebrate but still criticize 🙄

26. Man those delusional panthers fans just want you to be happy with barely getting by. They are so desperate to win they want you be happy with mediocrity the goal is to win it all slowly but surely and with that you want to continuously improve not be happy with 54 passing yards or 19 rushing yards.

27. All former panthers + London got us in the playoffs

28. Not surprised we're in. Predicted 12 wins. But it should have been 13 this season… but coaching got to be better!!!

29. Panthers can make it to NFC championship, now after that…just keep pounding

30. Took a screenshot of CBS playoff projection on November 26, 2025 from their YouTube channel.

    Panthers were given 10.5%. We were right behind Dallas (11.4%)

    Bucs were given 89.3%

31. We need some one else to call the plays. Maybe even Bryce call his own plays. Anyone besides canales hitting ask madden

32. One team, two states! This is an amazing win for the entire Carolinas (plural). Been a fan of this team since 2005. Regardless of the wildcard outcome I’m proud of this team. They exceeded my expectations.

33. I hate the keep pounding mantra because it's inherently loser talk and this team has taken on that identity

34. I just pray this doesnt make Tepper dig in on Young and they go get real competition for the position.

35. The key to the game is to put it on Bryce's (and the PASSING offense's) shoulders. Instead of the running game. That will keep the Rams defense guessing, open up run lanes for Rico/Chuba, and (assuming this gets the offense into a rhythm) keep the defense fresh through all 60 minutes. The defense needs to keep Stafford off balance all game long (so it’s important that the offense stays on the field and gives the defense enough time to rest and remain fresh). We keep talking about the run game needing to get better, but that will not happen by leaning more on running; it will happen more by passing. And stick with this strategy till the end. Stop treating Bryce with kid gloves. Stop playing it safe. Take chances. Give Bryce the reins. Open up the playbook for him. Even if we lose, we will at least have some answers to some of the muddled questions about the off-season and path forward. This was his 3rd year, for goodness' sake, how much longer are we going to experiment? And if we win and go to the next round, that just improves our chances, as the next team won't know what to expect from us either (right now, they know what to expect, which is why we lose). This makes it a win-win-win all around, not just for this season, but looking ahead to the next few years.

36. LA is so going to break us in half… however for now, that doesn't matter, we are playoff bound baby!!

37. Any given Sunday

38. Cam needs to be on the keep pounding drum next weekend

39. Can Cam Newton legally do anything with the Panthers since he hasn't retired? Just wondering

40. Silence of the Lambs Part Deux!

    But seriously, after 2 straight losses with the defense doing ok, but the offense being inept, it's time to get the whole package working again. And what makes it interesting is we've already played and beaten them. Therefore we and they know we can get it done. We have the confidence from beating them, now we need to execute.

    I did Black Crowes today Dennis, but I'll have the Outkast, TI, and Luda going tomorrow. But I think some Pantera is in order too.

41. To y’all’s point about bringing in some experienced coaching that gels with Dave’s strategy, how about Pete Carroll? He’s likely gonna get fired by the Raiders and has a history with Dave.

42. Achievement Unlocked – Win 2 NFC South Divisional Champions with Losing record

43. Love this show! 😁😁

44. We are ahead of schedule so this is a win by all means. Proud to be a Panthers fan and love this team 😤
