I was there when...

dwayne jarrett's only TD and steve smith's last TD.

Jake's TD pass to Kris Mangum vs. KC in 2004, completed while being spun around by Monty Beisel hanging from his jersey. That play was the essence of Jake.

only live panther game, and 1st live NFL game ever  10-9 Panthers beating 49ers... It was epic......

[PanthersAlv]

MNF against Tampa in 2008... Just epic running and stiff arming going on all night.

(My first ever in person viewing of my Panthers playing a game) ...the Home Opener in 2004 MNF against Green Bay. (Smitty out for the season with his broken leg)

When we won the NFCS this past season... in Atlanta. I was there for the botched snap that pretty much sealed the game!

The Jacksonville downpour game! Still don't think there was any way they could tell Stews forearm was down or whatever.

The Smith escape from the Texans as well.

I have had a lot of memories now, thank god! and I can't wait for the next round of them!

despite being an away game that might have actually been my favorite game experience with the panthers. it was a tight game and falcons fans were being humungous dicks in our section. when melvin white picked off matt ryan for a touchdown and then crowd noise helped cause that final fumble it was one of the most incredible feelings you can get as a fan in pro sports. i remember greg hardy tweeting after that game that he was amazed with panthers crowd presence and that it had a tangible effect on the falcons' ability to prepare in the huddle.

 

i would die of happiness if we could take over the swamp dome like that.

Smitty had the 2 great TD's against the Texans. The tip to himself in the end zone and the one where he emerged from the crowd of defenders to escape for the 6.

My single-most fav memory of Smitty popping out of that crowd in an impossible game. Simply unbelievable display of individual will. Thanks for reminding me.

Dreadful day for all phases otherwise.

Too many to name at home so I'll go with an away memory. John kasay kicks the game winner in ot to down the Colts in Indy during the super bowl season. I made a little Colts fan cry.

[Goondal]

I was there in Tampa in 2003, week 2, the Bucs first home game after their SB victory.  They thought the day was to be a celebration but the Panthers had other plans.  Trailing 9-3, including two blocked FG, the Bucs finally scored a TD on the final play of the game and it seemed that they would get the victory they had planned on.  The Panthers blocked the XP and later won 12-9 in OT, kicking off a run the the Super Bowl.

I am from MN so I saw the game the year before the super bowl run when Rodney Peete was the quarterback and I believe Steve Smith had his first kick return and Daunte Culpepper had 6 picks and dropped the ball for no reason while running for a first down. Lamar Smith ripped up the Vikes defense. I could be wrong about the Smith kick return, it is what I remember though. We started off like 4 and 0 and then Shayne Graham missed a game winning field goal at Green Bay and then got cut. The season went down hill after that.

Most Memorable Moment:

 

It was the year of Tommy Jones. The opponent is trivial, (as I cannot remember who it was right now) but it was a game of many firsts. The first ever start by a QB who was collecting  social security checks. Said legendary geriatric gunslinger getting promptly pummeled into mush and retiring in the first quarter. Giving way to a dashing man in white gloves. A man so terrible he had fans searching through their programs and chanting "We Want Moore/More!" clamoring for a previously unknown, undrafted, 4th string, John Fox QB.

 

But it was during the reign of the gloved one (one love Jacko) when something magical happened. Dropping back on 3rd and long, and after doing one of his trademarked pirouettes, he found himself nearly engulfed by hulking men in opposing jerseys. Running for his life, he tried to find anyone within his 7 yard throwing radius to pass the ball to. Finding only a young Jordan Gross in range of his trusty left arm, he knew it was up to him to keep the drive alive. He faked left, narrowly escaping the juiced up pass rusher, juked right slipping by the lumbering nose tackle, the only thing standing between him and the first down marker now was a menacing middle linebacker 5 yards away with a nose for pain.

 

With the linebacker closing in, and the weight of another failed drive falling on his shoulders, the gloved one dug down deep and mustered something only a child of pure heart could imagine. As the defender was in mid dive, transforming his body from animal to projectile, the boy leaped with all his might, flipping through the air with the grace of a dolphin gliding through the ocean. As his feet hit the turf, now, ahead of his would be annihilator, the light went off, "It worked!" he thought to himself as he dashed the last 5 yards needed for the first down. "For once in my life, all those years of ballet have finally payed off." as he slid down past the imaginary yellow line. "They like me, they really like me!" as the home crowd cheered and his teemates congratulated him.

 

Three plays later the drive was over. An hour later he was booed off the field by these same fans, replaced by a young renegade by the name of Matt Moore. (aka TheRealDeal) But, on one shining day at Bank of America Stadium, on one play, even if for one fleeting moment, David Carr was brilliant!

 

Worst Game

 

Tony Romo's first ever start.

 

Sunday night game. Tailgated for hours laughing at DAL fans for having to start an undrafted rookie because they were scared of our pass rush.

 

Walk in to the stadium to find out our free tickets were 5th row, 35 yardline, away side. Got to taunt Vanderjact? maybe, for missing a few FGs, he got pissed. Almost got kicked out, after Smitty scored a TD, for bumping into the douchey Cowgirls fan beside us while we were celebrating. They actually did start to escort my friend out until the rest of the section pelted the security guards with drinks and nachos. And then Romo pulled some poo out his ass and won it in the 4th I think... I try to forget that fuging game.

 

Best Game

 

2013 Monsoon Game... fap fap fap

 

Half the stadium Supercam ripping their rain ponchos in unison when we scored the game winner. That is a game I will tell my grandchildren about.

[KendrickPanther]

I was at that game in Atlanta! Riot! I was sitting in a sea of red and making every falcant fan wish they had of bought my seat just to keep a Panthers fan out of it.

One of my fondest memories is gathering behind the Panthers bench in the 4th quarter. No Falcons fans in sight.
