During what part of the win streak did you start feeling like "We can do anything". ?

[teeray]

Even though they suck, it was honestly after the ATL game. That is when I was like "fug it, why can't we be the best team in the NFL"

SF and NE only reaffirmed and solidified that belief.

[Cary Kollins]

The final 2 minutes of the SF game.  We fumbled not once but twice.  Just one of those fumbles would have set up SF for a game winning field goal.  Last season San Fran recovers the Stewart fumble and crushes our hearts.  But not this time.  And then we stop Kap and Co. from producing a game winning drive.

 

That was the exact type of game we would have lost in the past.  Those losses defined Rivera's tenure up until that point.

 

Ever since then I feel like we WILL come out on top in a tight game.

It was the last two games for me. Back to winning the games we're supposed to. Last years panthers would have lost to the dolphins.

When we held Seattle to 12 points and felt we should have beat the Super Bowl favorites.

I still don't. We sometimes look like crap yet amazingly pull it together and win. I think it's still possible we have a game without pulling anything together.

meh, for the past two years we've all complained that the best teams are the ones that can come out and have one facet of the team look like ruptured testicles while another facet steps up and plays well enough to win.

 

hard to play four quarters of perfect football against NFL teams, so the fact that we're able to finally tango with adversity and come out on top with consistency speaks volumes to me.

[cgarsmoker]

Never. I'm still nervous on gameday.

I feel the same way.... I still get nervous and it sucks! It's horrible that we've been like Charlie Brown trying to kick the football only to end up falling on our butt in so many close games over the past few years. I sincerely thought we could win those games but I wasn't surprised when we found a way to lose. Coach Rivera seems to have figured out that playing not to lose only leads to losing. Now coach Rivera is walking around with more confidence......like he's the Ron Jeremy of the coaching world and it's AWESOME!!!!

It really is amazing how so many of the feelings above mirror(ed) my own. This team has felt special to me from game one but I wasn't a believer until we took down the pats.

I would venture to say that most of us knew during Cam's first season and then Luke's that we were a bomb waiting to explode.(in a good way)

I'm always nervous on gameday and I hope I always am. Being a Panther fan is better than any rollercoaster I've ever heard of.

The anxiety is where the fun (and the early heart attack) dwell.

[KendrickPanther]

I always felt like we could beat anyone on our best day. I was confident going into San Fran and New England. Still I've not put any thought into the playoffs or Super Bowl. Cam tells us the next game is the most important and that is how I have approached this season. Living in the moment.

Honestly for me it was the winning drive in Miami.  Monday night was spectacular too but the Miami win really stuck with me. 

 

I have believed in the D and I have been gaining serious confidence in Cam since Arizona.  But this drive nailed it for me.

 

Cam was poised.  His face was serious.  He was different.  Yes I think he plays his best when having fun but sometimes, and this was definitely one of those times, you have to get your bitness on.  He did.

 

In that one drive he showed (me at least) that he knows when to buckle down, can buckle down, and can overcome some really bad decisions and throws from earlier in the game and finish on a day when everything seems to be going to hell around him.

 

That drive spoke volumes to me about his maturation in this league as both a phenomenal play maker with abundant talent as well as a leader who can be counted upon and leaned on by his teammates and coaches (and fans).

 

So, since I am one of those who believes we go as Cam goes, that drive made me think we can do whatever to whoever, whenever and wherever.

 

 

 

We're comin' saintz fanzz.  

 

 

[General_Purr]

the niners. if we lost to them I was going to sulk and say typical season... 

 

but we beat them.. and then I was said to my self... Were going to the playoffs. no doubt in my mind. That was the first "legit" big win imo.. then the pats was just MAGICAL.. then I said we can win the super bowl...

[camtheone]

The san fran win....had cam overthrowing WRs....WRs dropping easy balls...horrible Ref calls......When we won that game on the road.... I knew....I just knew this was going to be a special season.  KEEP POUNDING!!!!!!

[camtheone]

When do I get Junior Member off of my name and become Member...haha
