In twenty years whats the worst loss to date?

I saw a topic similar to this discussing the best win to date. Figured why not ask what was your worst loss as a Panthers fan (excluding the Super Bowl loss)?

 

Mine hands down was during the 2004 season when we started 1-7, and we put together a fantastic run only to be deflated in week 15 by Vicks hydroplane dive into the end-zone...

No doubt The loss to Arz in the playoffs.

That window got slammed shut right on our necks. We just recently recovered

I want you to smack yourself in the face and think about what you said. Then come back and give the correct answer.

the Arizona game is more recent, it was just terrible all the way around, it got bad then got worse, then got worse than that...turnover after turnover after jake passing attempt...

The Super Bowl sucked, but at least we looked like a team in that game, had a shot and the kick off killed us, but at least we had a team play a good game, not the epic meltdown in the Arizona game...

the loss to Seattle in 2005 sucked too, limped into that game and got blownout after smitty's magical season

In terms of a single game, it's SB 38. But we were back in the NFCCG in 2005 and if not for a slew of injuries who knows what happens?

In terms of an era, it is most definitely the Arizona loss. A loss like that had been brewing all season with Jake having some poor performances, but for that game to play out the way it did, the reset button should have been pushed right then and there.

Instead, Hurney doubled down and tried to hang on to that flawed team for years, resulting in lame duck seasons and cap hell that we still have yet to fully get out from under.

Super Bowl 38 was awful, but 2008 against Arizona ended our most successful era to that point, and in stunning, unexpected fashion.

well, as the win, I'll go with worse loss for me (that I attended live) and that would have to be probably the SF playoff game. I expected to see a better game that night, and man, when it all came down to it, I'm still pissed about that game.

(I remember the AZ playoff game too, but well, the SF one felt worse to me)

Good reasons, but with the amount of times 38 gets shown on NFL Network it beats out 2008 for me. At least I don't have to re-open the wound as often vs Arizona.

    • It was great that Brady was able to step in as our center on short notice... but center overall needs addressing this offseason.  Getting worked up about the QB has been a Huddle tradition since I've joined almost 20 years ago. Jake Delhomme is not a franchise QB. Start Chris Weinke. David Carr will push Jake. David Carr crumbles at the slighest sniff of pressure. Matt Moore may be the future. Matt Moore doesn't care about being the starter. Clausen is a limp pickle. Cam can't win close games. Cam can't throw an accurate pass. Cam should've dived on that fumble. Cam should've not gone after that Chargers player and hurt his shoulder. Teddy can't throw past the sticks. Darnold's a dumbass. Mayfield can't throw a pass without it being batted down. In other words, I can't get that worked up nowadays because I've heard most of it before already. I will say BY's getting more of the Jake Delhomme Huddle hot takes now, which I'll take as a positive improvement from where he was before.  
    • I'm usually pro tank in situations like these. Like when Rhule was fired, I wanted us to tank hard and trade anybody worth a damn and just continue losing. I also wanted us to tank that last Saints game in like 2020 I wanna say to get a better pick. However, this year just seems different. I feel like we have something with this coaching staff and building some culture and personality. At some point you really do have to figure out how to win close games. This year feels like that year when Cam and Co just kept losing close games and went like 6-10. Then the following year we just showed out. And like others have said, we've been so ass at drafting that it has changed my whole mindset about wanting to tank and lose games. Fug that, I just want a win wherever I can get it now. Yesterday felt great!
    • At this point I'm indifferent to wins/losses and solely interested in seeing team and staff development on the field. In general, growing teams need to stay mindful when winning certain types of games to not let it mask continued on-field deficiencies, whatever they may be for a given team. That's where the quality of the coaching and FO come in and that's where the rubber will continue to meet the road if Carolina pulls out more of these types of games. This season is nearly a wrap. My metric for success was continued improvement and development on the field and I think it's fair to say that that is happening (degree is debatable, but it is happening), a stark change from prior regimes. Improving this offseason will be no small order and time will tell how things shake out.
