Tom Coughlin's Giants have generally gotten the best of the Panthers, but when we have beaten them, it's been memorable.

 

The Panthers beat the Giants 41-9 in the next to the last week of the 2009 season. Matt Moore was the starting QB.

 

The Panthers also blew out - and shut out - Coughlin's Giants in the Wild Card game of the 05 playoffs (in their stadium).

 

But today's 38 point margin and shutout made this game Tom Coughlin's worst loss as Giants head coach.  Not just his worst loss to the Panthers, his worst to anyone.

 

For the record, 38 points is also the largest margin of victory in Panthers history.

 

The shutout was the fifth in team history and the first since 2008 (Chiefs in week 5, 34-0).

 

Seven sacks ties a team record for most sacks in a game.  They've hit seven a few times, the last time being a year ago against Atlanta.

 

Carolina was on the wrong side of a sack record last week, but the right side this time, so two straight games with sack records one way or the other.

 

Melvin White and Robert Lester can both now say that their first interception as a pro was against one of the Manning brothers.

 

Star Lotulelei got his first professional sack on Eli, as did Kawann Short.  The first two draft picks of Dave Gettleman's GM career got their first sacks against his old team.

 

Lots of memorable stuff today :D

      Hoping you guys keep it up

      By X-Clown · Posted

      It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️

      Cam on ‘The Bank’

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
