I predicted 5-7 wins before the season started, looks like I was right.  

Ha!!! Let me have some fun with this.  I predicted 6, so we are in agreement.  (When I did, Snake, my cyber friend and Huddler extraordinaire, said, and I quote:  "If the Panthers win 6 games I will kiss my own ass."--so we have that to look forward to).  However, I knew the Panthers were not winning 10 games--an optimistic realist would have capped the possible wins at 8 or so.  Even the worst of teams find a way to win 2 games most seasons.  So that leaves a window of 2-8 games--6 game difference.  You selected a bullish view of that assumption, a 3-game range within a 6-game window.  So you had a 50% chance of being right if you eliminate the highly improbable outcomes. 

Just messing with you a bit.  We were on the same page.

Many fans were calling me a homer and unrealistic optimist, when in reality I'm a homer who is an optimistic realist.  I'm confused

Me too--read the edited post I made in reaction to your post.  We must not let Snake off lightly.

We can beat the Redskins and Broncos.   I might add Saints pending the QB situation. 

so maybe 2 more wins?

GB and Minny? They will put too many points on the board IMO

4-12, 5-11 or 6-10.

That is where I am, but Minnesota is a possible win as well. 

Been saying 6 all year, so I will say it now.  6

I just don’t see how we can contain Cook, Adam and Jefferson with our back 7.   
 

would need an assist from Cousins to just not wanting to pull the trigger.   Minny is built in a manner we can’t defend IMO.

Eh, Andy Dalton & Dallas beat Minny yesterday.

Honestly it is just too hard to predict right now. We can beat any team except maybe the Packers and Saints. So that is why I made 3 predictions. I would prefer 4-12 so we can get the higher draft pick. So there’s that. 
That said I don’t think we’ll beat the Vikings. Cook is a beast.

My cyber stalker was the tarheel guy who got mad when I said this team had no chance to get Lawrence or Fields

14 teams make the playoffs. If we miss we can’t pick lower than 18

Even with the possible winner of the NFCEast getting only say five wins? Wow, what a crazy, crazy year.
