I try not to remember that era or the Jimmy Clausen abortion.  Since defensive tackles are my favorite position, I'm kind of biased towards at least competency and it's nice to have a couple bookends.  I sure the hell don't miss Forever Useless Atrocity by any means!

I'd like to suggest playing around with the formatting of this post so it reads a little easier.

I've been wanting a couple backups in later rounds, along with someone to groom to take over for Kalil, but agreed.  No reason it has to be higher round guys when likely it's not going to be a possibility.  That, and the last time we drafted for need at DT before Star and Kawann we got McClain and Fua.  Do you guys really want to relive that?

Never half-ass two things.  Whole-ass one thing.

At least you put thought into this. ;)

​I'm hoping he gets moved up to assistant OC or whatever it is that's the next echelon of positions before eventually "replacing" Shula.

Even if it's reduced, the stain is still on NE's "good" name...too many instances and complaints.

As I'm a new Panthers fan for only 8 years, I don't have memory of "old" games, I would say the game in 2008 vs TB on MNF and the game we beat Brady with Luke's "illegal" touch and the game we beat SF at their home in 2013 season are my favorites.

The hysteria over that was such horseshit because I remember the Pats doing that very maneuver to Gonzalez earlier in the season. 

Been a fan of the Panthers since I started watching Football (4yrs ago).

Gotta ask....how in the world did you come across the Panthers all the way in Belgium?

I'll be following this thread with interest.

Ditto. IIRC, Aikman  also left that game injured. Do remember Jerry Jones dissing our new stadium as "a college stadium"

and then head coach Barry Switzer slamming our offense as "vanila". Lot of satisfaction in drubbing them. They looked shell shocked when it was over.

 

That was a damned satisfying game for sure.  Too damn bad we ran out of steam in GB.

Remember the 2005 game against Detroit when they roughed up Jake in the final minutes and Chris Weinke came in and threw the game winning TD pass to Ricky Proehl?

that or the Bears game in I believe 2008 where Urlacher or someone like that hurt Jake and it pissed Jake and Hoover off and the whole team responded.

Jax home game , Jake comes in at second half and saves the day. Of course Cam and the Cats beating the Cheatriots when the ref picked up the flag to end the game was great too.

They, Dallas,  Pittsburgh, and New Orleans are so damn quick to throw fits about the officials...but never seem to understand they get far more calls than we do.

Ergo, they can rot of crotch aids and mono.

Didn't we lose that game? Im confused on the answer and the pie

I took it as a karmic victory--after the incredible failure that was Jimmy Clausen, having tons of yardage in a debut game could arguably feel like a victory after the atrocities of the Todd Collins/Clausen Bears game or that horrible moment when he had negative thirty something yards going into the 4th quarter of a Saints game that year.

That said, this really was meant to be more of an actual victory thread.

A couple years ago when we played the Rams was pretty sweet. My wife and I went to Disney World and there was some bitch ass Rams fan on the Huddle that lived in Florida.

I made a bet with him that if we won I'd get to punch him in the face one time, and if we lost he could do it to me. We both agreed publicly on here to the bet and that we would meet up, and then he was like jokes on you bro I'm an mma fighter and I was like I gives no fug dude I've been in fights with worse lets do this.

We won and needless to say he flaked out. Little bitch.

I actually remember reading that bet.  Wondered what happened there, but that goes to show you how reliable the intranets are.

the whole of 2013 will be memorable for me for a long time. i didnt start following the Panthers until literally Super Bowl weekend of 2003, so unfortunately i missed out on the drama of 2003. i still didnt know enough to really appreciate 2005 very much, so 2008 was my only other season to compare 2013 to. and frankly, aside from the MNF win in 08 where i watched it with my best friend at the time (who is a Bucs fan), 2013 was the most exciting season for me. though... its hard to beat an 8-game winning streak, beating the Patriots on national tv, beating the Saints in a torrent, and many other close games that season. 

 

 

is there somewhere i can watch the whole game? i really want to experience this... haha

MNF win against the Patriots in 2013

Very good answer--is it just Patriots hate that leads you to that choice, or?

(if so, I get it.  making Brady pout is always a joy.)

I'd like to be a stickler and ask for just one favorite victory from each contributor to this thread, but I honestly am having problems just choosing one.

As many here well know, the Bears '05 playoff win has great personal resonance for me.

For sort of the same reason, I take a lot of satisfaction in the home game against the Saints the year before last, where we won the division in the last 50 or so seconds with Steve hurt and Domenik Hixon catching the game-winner.

Of course, you can't forget X-Clown and the Rams double OT game...

I guess if I really had to choose one, as exciting as the Rams game was, beating the Saints for the division with just a few seconds left was damned awesome.  The Rams game meant more at the time in terms of continuing the season, but there's never a bad day when the Panthers have more points than the Saints.

What say you, Huddle?  What's your favorite win of the last two decades of Panther football, and why?

BSPG, nobody can question your allegiance.  You been here a long time.  I can vouch for you and would stand beside you in a SF vs. Panthers bar fight.

 

We would get the hell beat out of us if you were depending on me...but I would be there.

 

My favorite Panther fandom personal story will always be the 05 Bears playoff game.

All I heard for weeks was about how our offense didn't do a damned thing against the Monsters of the Midway.

All 5'9, 175 of me was the only fan in the bar not going for Chicago.

Never been more proud to get yelled at and threatened as I walked out as I was that night.

Agent 89 may have had his best moment ever, that night.

Maine, LilSmitty, Dex, and I all need to hit a bar in Charlotte all together, sometime, somehow.

I used to say I was a Niners fan because Joe Montana and Rice were the best combo I'd ever seen...but I've come to realize I was more of a fan of that combo and those people than I was of the Niners.

And so, the Panthers came across when I was just starting out on my own and they just seemed to be a team to latch onto.  Liked the colors, liked the defensive concept, and no one in this state gave much of a damn about them until they played the Niners.

This year I'm finally making it to Charlotte for a game...bought the ticket, am renting the hotel out of this check, and then I'm somehow saving up for the plane ticket.  Can't wait.  It'll be the weirdest experience of my life being around a stadium of Panthers fans...the closest I've ever come was a bar in Missoula, MT, where an entire group of Cats fans helped me take over a table to watch a Titans/Cats clash.

We promptly got our asses kicked, but that seems to be every Panthers/Titans game.

That must've been one laborious task, my man.

Still my favorite Panther ever.

Still wish he'd be more gracious about things.

Still acknowledging he wouldn't be Steve if he was.

,,!,, Foulass

Execution by firing squad?

They should get the Jeff Davidson/Matt Moore/Jimmy Clausen 2010 Panthers offensive performance seared into their brains, each and every one of the sonsofbitches, Clockwork Orange style.

Each offense uses their own footballs at that point in time in the NFL. Colts footballs and Patriots footballs weren't mixed together. Rules been changed this off-season because of this scandal.

 

That Luke avatar is awesome.
