Favorite/most memorable INT


Smithers

Recommended Posts

i was watching highlights last night and started thinking about all of the huge, game sealing plays the Panthers have had over the years.  Last second touchdowns aside, I find that game sealing interceptions are about as good as it comes.

so...what is your favorite or most memorable game sealing interception in Panthers history?  Josh Norman?  Pat Terrell?  Sam Mills?

For me, it has to be Chad Cota's interception of the Steelers in the end zone to seal our first ever NFC West championship!  I can't find a clip of this pick anywhere...but man I remember going crazy when it happened.  What a way to win the game and clinch the division.

Ricky Manning JR wrestling it away from (I believe) Torry Holt to save the 2003 Rams double OT game is my favorite. 

He beasted on that play.  Heck he had an amazing postseason...didn't he have like 4-5 interceptions?  I think he had 3 just against the Eagles.

Not saying this is my favorite but the freshest one on my brain that I can remember vividly was the game sealing pick Luke had in the end zone intented for Gronk against the Patriots 3 years ago.

Robert Lester made the pick. Luke was busy pinning Gronk in the back of the end zone.

Thanks. My memory is horrible!

Accidental quote and I can't delete it on mobile for some reason, so will take the opportunity to say no worries :-)

We all know the biggies so I'll pick a less major one that happens to be the only one I've seen in person - Chris Gamble's pick against KC in 2004, his rookie year. This also happened to be his first career pick and sealed a game where Jake threw a ridiculous TD pass to Kris Mangum while being spun in a circle by his jersey and DeShaun Foster had 32 rushes for 174 yards, including a 71 yarder. Fun game to watch.

Aside from all the ones mentioned already, Luke's pick 6 to start the game against Seattle was pretty great. I was at that game and the entire first half the place was insane after that pick and on. Second half everyone was shitting their pants. We pulled through and got to see the boys do their victory lap so it was great in the end of course. But all started with that pick 6.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
