yeah i know Jake threw all the INTS, but the whole game was mismanaged before it ever started.

Absolutely. It was poorly game-planned well before kickoff.

As for this classic, yeah i remember walking outside with a minute or so left thinking, well, Fox gave away another one, but Jake still had a couple epic Jake moments left in the tank.

Jeez... I was 17 and a senior in high school when my mother took me to this game.  

I was second level in that end zone.  I never heard a stadium get so quiet so quickly.  

Once I find the ticket stubs from that game, I'll post them.

Fun fact: Fox is still the only Panthers HC to win his opening game with the Panthers.

definitely one of the most memorable panther games ever

 

I was watching the 100 greatest game enders on youtube via NFL Network and this was one of them.

Lucas was pretty legit in 2005(firmly tier 2)and I think he was somewhat serviceable afterwards. 
 

I think Gamble was better but he never reached shutdown status.

Also Rosario got hurt during that celebration and was never the same again. Oops. 

I don’t remember him getting hurt. What happened to him?

Makes sense though. I always wondered why he only had a few good games.

That was the most magical and improbable season.  The 4th down game winning TD pass to Ricky Proehl will always be etched in my memory.

Some weird knee/ankle thing that was probably misdiagnosed and he never really recovered from. 
 

if you watch it you can kinda see him land awkwardly at one point during the celebration.
