what's the maddest you've ever been as a panthers fan?

Inspired by the Panthers vs. Seahawks replay thread.

Mine is from that game, when Kam Chancellor jumped over the field goal unit for an attempted block, and then when we lined back up for the retry he stood in the exact same place and not one player or captain or coach ever even considered the possibility of lining someone up to block him. Sure enough, he did the same exact damn thing while I was screaming blood and carbon dioxide at the TV along with the rest of the universe, and he blocked the kick. I'm convinced the only reason I'm not dead right now is because the penalty called it back and nullified the turnover.

Even Haruki Nakamura's boner on the Falcons hail mary in 2012 wasn't as staggeringly, avoidably, obviously fuging stupid.

I laughed at the chancellor thing last year. I remember being alone watching the nakamura blunder in my apartment in Philly and screaming so loud and throwing poo around the room that other tenants came and knocked on my door. Maddest I've ever been watching a sporting event ever. I blacked out when Matt Ryan did the get the fug off our field. I lost years off my life that day.

I spiked the remote when DeAngelo coughed up that fumble against Seattle as we were driving the field and in great position to score.

The miscommunication with seconds remaining in Buffalo that allowed the Bills to win that game. Horrendous.

Olindo Mare blowing a 30 yard field goal that would have sent us to OT against the Vikings in 2011.

In other words, all the close losses and blown leads during Rivera's tenure have been infuriating for the most part. I know I'm leaving out a lot of them. So many scripts unfolded in those games you just can't make up. Hopefully that trend is over with.

Not a game

had to be when the news broke out that they extended delhomme in (I think it was april) 2009. It's one thing when the QB you trusted blows up in a game. It's another when you reward him for that. That's like giving a guy who just drunk drove into a schoolyard the pink slip to a Maserati. Had to spend a lot of time in the angry dome to accept that stupid decision.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
