In twenty years, what's your favorite win to date?

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?

MNF win against the Patriots in 2013

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.)

Inaugural home game with my dad. Got sunburnt, didn't care. Panthers won. All in all, perfect day.

Call me a homer but Arizona 2011 - the introduction of Cam always sticks in my mind. After 2010, watching Cam gave me hope again.

Annihilating the Falcan'ts for the division title this year. Loathe the Falcan'ts. Hearing the Georgia Dome toilets backed up during that game was icing on my schadenfreud.

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.

When we shutout the Giants in NY. Loved that game.

When we beat 49ers 10-9 in their home, I was there live in person rocking Panthers jersey, hat and shoes. It was awesome. fug the 9ers

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!

Dallas in the playoffs ending that dynasty and Lamar Lathon asking Barry Switzer if he knows where Charlotte NC is now as they cart Michael Irvin off on a stretcher.
