What's the HAPPIEST you have been as a Panthers fan?

For me, any win makes me very happy.

However, sealing the deal on 12/22/13 against the Saints in BOA, guaranteeing the playoffs is one of my finer moments. I remember sitting in the stands, tearing up as they announced we made the playoffs at the end of the game.  It was even sweeter when I went to the ATL game for the season finale the next week and watched us take our first W in Atlanta in 5 years (remember the 2012 game in ATL??). Great revenge game for our first NFCS crown in quite some time!

Other memorable moments were... 

TD pounding the "Keep Pounding" drum. 

Beating AZ in the playoffs at home.

Signing Cam long term.

I went absouletly ape poo after we beat New England on MNF in 2013.  I tore it up in uptown afterwards...

Saints, 2013 at home. Tickets on the cheap, rain soaked which just added to the atmosphere, drunk, 75 degrees in December. There are a lot of comparable moments excitement wise, but overall sheer happiness, nothing else even holds a candle for me.

That time the Matt Moore super fanboy left The Huddle was honestly probably top 3 panther fan happy moments for me. 

When Manning, Jr. picked off that ball against the Rams in OT was pretty wild. 

And when we needed some weird formula to make the playoffs by point differential or something and they were showing the Panthers game simultaneously with I think it was Green Bay was pretty cool just because that was long before I had Sunday Ticket and I never got to see Panthers games on TV in California.

Cam lighting up the Patriots in front of the world, and seeing crybaby walk off the field whining and crying after he lost. Beautiful moment. Helps that a fair amount of my family are Patriots fans and I fuging hate them.

    • 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.
