Hey Panther fans

[Packersfan]

Do you guys consider the Packers a rival at all or at any time in the Panthers existence were we a rival?

[janderson20vt]

...no

[Packersfan]

We have had some classic games against each other over the years though. The kasay chip shot missed field goal and the Beurilein qb sneak.

[ladypanther]

Rival....no.  But anytime we play....big game.

You guys beat us in our own backyard a couple years ago.

Remember D'angelos 4 1-yard td runs? I do

[Packersfan]

I have a soft spot for the cats. We should have won that game though. We were ahead almost the entire way.

[PhillyB]

no, but panthers/packers tends to be a good one. that game in 08 was exceptional.

 

we should've beaten you in 2011

NFC Championship game doesn't compare to a regular season game.

non-divisional rivals can only be if they meet in the playoffs more than once, and/or their placement makes them meet up frequently in inter-conference matchups. This is where decades old feuds like Giants-Niners come into play. Or Pats-Colts. Some of these are actually better than divisional feuds because it requires a standard of competitiveness to be able to exist, so there's a lot more parity going on between the two, as well as higher stakes.

I love the whole concept of the Green Bay Packers.  The small community, the tradition, etc.  They seem to have a classy program and a classy, down-to-earth fan base.  Vince Lombardi,  the Lambeau Leap, Starr/Favre/Rogers-playing outdoors in January in Wisconsin (Detroit/Minnesota--Wimps!!!)  Love it.

Yep I agree. I think in 2007 really was the only time we blew you out. You kicked our asses in 2000 31-14.
