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!

      Panthers run ONE play on repeat

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is one explanation of Bryce--He has never been the underdog--aways played with a lead, always had the best team, best OL, and usually, the best WRs.   Since high school. Now imagine a bully who punches you in the arm every time he walks by you.  At first, you walk by with confidence and it catches you off guard.  Then you start flinching and taking side steps to avoid the hit.  He still hits you.  This happens for an entire year.  Now think of what you would do if you walked by him and he didn't hit you.  You would still dodge, duck, dip, and dodge, and people would look at you like you were an idiot.  Point: even when Bryce had a clean pocket, he was not confident and he prepared to be hit.  This guy talks about him being out of rhythm etc.  Then he still blames Bryce when he demonstrates that there was no separation and the routes were predictable.  In addition to that,  he mentions that Bryce often had LESS than 2 seconds to throw before getting pressure.  So the Defense knows you have to throw because you are behind--they know what play you are going to run--since they can cover you in man they can rush 7, play man under with cover 1 or 2 support over the top---vs. your 5 OL and a RB who can't block.  Our TEs were not open.  Bozeman decided to suck hard, and we had 9 different players start at both G spots.  Campen sucked, folks--was saying it all year.  So Bryce flenched on the rare occasion that he was protected for more that 2 seconds.  What does flinching look like?  Feet out of position (Cam had the same issue--the brain tells the feet to run), timing off (second guessing due to previous forced errors) etc. Bryce needs to go back to feeling confident in the pocket.  I hope he is not traumatized by 2023.  He has to be second guessing his ability--like you are.  Self-fulfilling prophecy.

      Agree, it mattered last year and we got a superstar. We should get a very very good starter this year as well.

      That's kinda what I thought when Rhule got fired but then Tepper was like I just hope that we've actually found true rock bottom this time and we're ready to trend upwards.
