The Panthers have not beaten the Cowboys in the regular season since December 8, 1997

To put this in perspective:

the Panthers were in their third year as an actively competing franchise. We're now in our 21st year.

Mike Minter was a rookie

Dan Marino was still playing. It was years before he would discover Nutri-System.

Peyton Manning was considered the top prospect in next year's draft.

gas was like 1.20 a gallon on average nationwide.

the number one film in the box office was Flubber

the no.1 hit on the billboard charts was Candle in the Wind 1997, a tribute to Princess Diana, who had died in a car accident recently.

Titanic was primed to release in theaters in the coming weeks and I had yet to gaze at Kate Winslet's glorious bewbs on the silver screen.

The Montreal Screwjob was still fresh in everybody's mind.

the top holiday video games were Crash Bandicoot 2, Tomb Raider II, and Gran Turismo.

Windows 98 was still called Memphis and wouldn't be released for another 6 months or so.

America Online was the number one tool for connecting to the internet (which you needed a modem and a phone line to connect to)

people who were born this month in 1997 are literally reaching adulthood right now, and that's how long it's been since the Panthers last defeated the Cowboys in the regular season. This game is 18 long years in the making. The Panthers are undefeated this deep into the season and the Cowboys have their backs against the wall scrambling to make something out of their once promising 2015 campaign. The Panthers right now are the team everybody thought the Cowboys should've been this year, dominating the trenches, looking like world beaters, etc. The Panthers are the team people thought would be in the Cowboys' situation right now, struggling, looking for answers, etc. 

I expect nothing short of a thrashing. In order to accomplish this, Carolina, listen to me. For the love of God, do not let Tony Romo hang around in this game. The guy is a 4th Quarter Comeback artist and he basically had his sensational debut start against us in 2006. Sack him, knock him down, make him commit turnovers. Go up 21-0 in the first quarter. Try to score 30 before the half. The Panthers have been historically inept against the Cowboys, as has been demonstrated previously by so many throwbacks.

I write this thread in the hopes that somehow, the message will get back to the team this week. Nobody really talks about this winless streak because most of the NFL universe doesn't care that much about the Panthers. Nobody respects you guys. A 3-7 team is somehow a favorite to break your undefeated record. The latest slap in the face? Having your nationally televised game switched to Cowboys/Dolphins in the third quarter yesterday. This is your first ever Thanksgiving game. In 1997, it was the first ever Monday Night game for the Panthers and they beat the Cowboys then, but haven't done it since. Beat them, kick them while they're down, don't give the NFL a chance to celebrate a David and Goliath story for Tony Romo.

Wasnt that a Monday Night game.  Won that game but then collapsed, sorta the end of the Dom Capers run.
