Biggest play in Panther history.... Still get chills watching it

[Mr. Scot]

Well, rank this under "Things I hadn't seen before".

You know who was coaching the Rams secondary the year X-Clown happened?

It was Perry Fewell.

What I loved about that game besides the play and W, was after the game it showed Smitty in the tunnel and he took one of those Thunder Sticks the whole crowd had that game and threw it in the trash bin, Classic Smitty, F*cking loved it!!!

Delhomme's face as he makes the throw...

Smith's face as he crosses the goal line...

Peppers somehow, ( 2003 ) was the second player in the endzone to congratulate S Smith.. 

My favorite play in Panther history..

That whole season was off the chart...high and lows...gut wrenching wins and losses...you always knew, deep down inside, they had it in them to pull it out...some of the best football ive watched over the years.

I remember being exhausted after watching it on TV, being there must have been crazy. Downtown St. Louis is a great area, especially when there is an afternoon Cardinals game scheduled.

I have never been so exhausted, physically and mentally after watching a sports event.

"Physically tired" is something a lot of people who watched that happen say.

Absolutely... and with the benefit and experience of the subsequent 15 years, I am doubtful we will ever witness another Panthers game with that many ups and downs.  After that play was the first time I truly thought we could win the Super Bowl (and we almost did).

As fun as 2015 was, for me personally nothing will ever top 2003.  Maybe it was my youth, but the entire season seemed to unfold magically, and all these years later, I remember it with even more nostalgia.

The way the 2015 season ended took a lot of the air out of it.

We may not have won in 2003, but at least we were competitive.

I was at the game and was sitting behind the endzone where Smitty scored the winning TD.  My wife and I were surrounded by Rams fans and when he got past the last defender I stood up with my arms raised.  My wife was pulling on my shirt to sit down but there was no way I was doing that. 

And it did get quiet in the done very fast. Deafening one second, pin drop silent the next except for the cheering of Panther fans spread throught the stands.  

Man, that was a great experience.
