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?

I will never forget the game vs New Orleans in 2013. I was sold tickets on the 2nd row at the goal line. The guy that sold them said he didn't want to get wet... Well that's what made it so fun. I was in the same end zone where Hixon caught the game winner, on the same side too. Easily my favorite Panthers game, but there have obviously been better wins over the years.

I'll only list ones that I attended live, but....

I'd have to say probably being present in the stadium for the 2008 MNF game against the Bucs for the Division lead at that time. The run game with Double Trouble getting 200 yards before Jake's kneel downs that night was awesome.

 

Other notables for me:
2004 Home Opener against Green Bay (my first live game)
2013 against the Pats (my Dad's first live game)
2013 Away game in ATL, winning the division, and being in their dome to witness it.

For me, it is the 2003 Wildcard Playoff home game vs Dallas. That was the game that ignited the SB run, and you could feel the start of something special brewing inside our house. Smitty had an awesome endzone catch and big Stephen Davis had a nice TD run. Jake was pure magic during that entire playoff run! Oh and I almost forgot seeing all those Dallas "fans" from NC/SC leaving the stadium early! F-U-N!

      We have seen Bryce get outplayed by all manner of QBs, from UDFAs to second round picks.  If we actually scouted any QBs it would not be a difficult task to upgrade from Bryce, you guys act like he is even decent. He is one of the worst starters league wide stop making excuses.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
