sack fumble touchdown . down 10-0. it was over. i knew it was over. didnt want to believe it.

I was holding out hope until the Broncos went up by two scores. I felt like Angry Grandpa.

The last fumble.  Was only down 6 points.  Was waiting for Cam to finally just say F it and take over like that last drive vs the giants.

When we lost that challenge. 

[Apotheosis]

When they kicked the first field goal. I knew it was 3-0 and the Panthers were losing and the Broncos were winning

First offensive series of the second half. I expected to see some fire, some fast pass, quick slant, qb option, something. When I didn't see it, I knew we were done. I knew the D could hold them scoreless in the second, I honestly didn't believe our offense could score a TD.

The fumble by Peyton and Thomas i think recovered it for a gain.

[Zaximus]

Right as the Cotchery catch wasn't reversed.  You could tell in the players' faces they knew it was going to be an uphill battle against a tough defense and refs.  Had to be perfect,

That last fumble. Thought for sure despite what had happened all game Cam was going to lead us down for the game winning TD until that 3rd down strip sack.

Not until the penalty on Manning's pass before their TD. That sealed it for me. Was hoping for some Cam magic quick then an onside and some more Cam magic to take it to the first ever OT but I knew it wasn't happening.

They scored that last TD to make it a 2 score game and 3:03 was left on the clock...I then felt my heart break and knew we lost..

Real doubt first entered my mind on the missed FG. That sealed the idea that things simply would not go our way.

Got the ball back with 4:51 left.... First play of that drive I knew we were dead. Hand-off to Tolbert for 1 yard. Set up a 2nd and 9 that was predictably incomplete.. That 1st down play just showed me Shula was petrified.
