What one Panthers game would you most want to go back in time to see?


Matt Foley

I know the obvious answer is the Super Bowl, but I think that's the wrong answer. For one, the Panthers lost in heartbreaking fashion. How about these choices?

A. The Hall of Fame game versus Jax

B. The win over Pittsburgh that sealed the division in 96

C. The win over Dallas in the playoffs that year

D. The win at St. Louis in the 03 playoffs

E. The win at Philly the next week to clinch a spot in the SB

I think if I was a lifelong Panthers fan, it would be a trip to go back and watch that first game in Canton. Just to see how far the franchise has come. But the other options would be great, too. If I had to pick another one it would be E.

NFC championship game against St. Louis... epic

NFC Champ game was against the Eagles, we played the Rams in the divisional round. However the game against the Rams would be likely be my choice too! That was an amazing game. Another game I'd consider is the game against Tampa Bay in 2003. It was the 2nd game of the season, they were the reigning champs and we were in there house and we blocked the extra point with 0:00 on the clock and took it to OT for the win.

It was the night before. Wonder where the hot one is now?

was it? Thought it was after the game. That would be even better then so I could just sleep in and catch the game on the hotel tele with the lovelies.

Geez, you guys' memories are off. The St. Louis game wasn't the NFC Championship, and the Tampa game with the blocked kicks was in Tampa. LOL

Yep, I was actually at that game. Everyone kept asking who Kris Jenkins was, I let them know he was the guy that replaced Sapp in the pro bowl.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
