the luke pick was the loudest that stadium has ever been

louder than the pick against dallas in 96

I wasn't there for the championship game but the week before against the Seahawks was pretty fuging loud when Stew had that run and Luke's pick 6.

Enter Hurney. Doom of the franchise.

Nail in the coffin was Ron being a dumbass and playing an obviously hurt Cam at the end of 2016 in some meaningless games. That got the ball rolling downhill in terms of his health. Still think the franchise was salvageable before that.

Either way, Ron shouldn't have outcoached by Gary fuging Kubiak in the SB. I wouldn't even care about the state of the franchise rn if we had just won that lombardi.

oh fug i thought that WAS seattle. I didn't click the youtube. 

yeah, it was the luke pick. i could feel my seat shaking. 

the second half was the worst half of football of my life. If that game was five minutes longer the Panthers lose.

Yeah the way that game started could not have been any more perfect, I was loving every second of the first half. Ditto on the second half. Glad we pulled it out but man that 2nd half may have taken a few years off of my life...

This.  Man....  it was such a beautiful time to be a Panthers fan.  Cam and Luke were just lights out that year and at that point in time, it felt like it was absolutely our year, and we would be contending every year out from there.  My, how things quickly change.

I wish we would’ve played NE in the SB that year. It was a better matchup for us. That D line the Broncos had feasted on our inept O line and inability to adjust on the fly. Didn’t help Philly Brown went out early, our Rbs decided to loses the ball every other touch and once that Cotchery catch got deemed a drop I knew it was all over. That was a very unfortunate SB but that should’ve been what finally got us O Line help and more weapons but alas we weren’t ready for success under that regime. Great NFC championship game though, lol!

I couldn't agree more. Ron and Remmers screwed us in the big game.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
