I even remember exactly what I said.

(Smith catches the ball, cuts inside towards the middle of the field, and takes off)

"Get inside, inside, first down! RUN, MOTHERFU**ER  RUNRUNRUN SH*T HOLY SH*T!!"

I'd imagine many similar statements were made around that same time 😕

I was watching the game at home with my wife, 4 year old and 1 year old sons who are Panthers fans. I was 40 years old at the time and we went crazy as soon as Smitty caught it.

I was screaming "HE’S GONNA SCORE! HE’S GONNA SCORE! IT'S OVER BABY!"  My 4 year old was dancing all over the living room and my wife was in tears. She couldn't believe it and was shaking all over. She was a reck by the time the second overtime started.  So was I honestly.

Standing in middle of my parents living room jumping up and down with tears running down my face. I was 15 at the time.

Watched the game at work, which was at a sports bar, but requested the night off for the game.  I had recently moved to Raleigh and noticed the lack of Panthers following.  So needless to say there wasn't many avid Panthers fans there (like none) but people interested in the game because it was a NFL playoff game.  Being half crocked and yelling at the TV made me sort of a spectacle.  When X clown happen, I ran around the room dishing out high fives to strangers and co-workers alike.  It was awesome!

Watching at home. Was losing my mind over the course of that game. So many crazy highs and lows.

In OT and I took off and put on the jersey like a maniac as plays went against us and for us.

The final play I was losing my mind.

Speaking of highs and lows, man that was one hell of a clutch interception by Manning to get the ball back when the Rams were driving and looking hot. I was excited when Steve made the catch especially with how open he was but 17 year old me flipped when the one Ram defender near him missed the tackle.

Not trying to steal thunder here, but the following week in Philly had a great play as well (Foster 1 yd run).  Still, beating the Rams (I think they had a 14-game home winning streak) was awesome.  I was at my aunt's house and my cousin came in from KY. They arrived in OT.   She thought it was funny to stand in front of the TV.  I nearly lost a cousin that night.

    • 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
