What was your favorite moment of the '17-'18 season?

[Adb6368]

With the season coming to an end with a disappointing result (spoiler alert: Patriots win), I wanted to reminisce on the good that came from this season. Obviously it didn't turn out the way we wanted but there was plenty of memorable moments. 

Mine was probably the 'butt-drag swag' as we had been the game of the week for 2 or 3 weeks and with the media darling Rodgers coming back we shut him down and ended their season. The catch was amazing but I laughed by ass off seeing Olsen going bezerk to Rivera about it being a horrible challenge then completely changing tone and celebrating like a kid when they called it a TD, ending with a good laugh between player and coach.

What say you? What will be your fondest memory of this season?

Gano's FG to beat NE and Cam's run against the Vikings.

Shula finally being shown the door.  JR being exposed and forced out is a blessing and a curse quite possibly as the Panthers may cease to exist.  But it's a risk that absolutely had to happen.

As for football?  Not much to remember about last season.  I would actually like to forget it honestly.

We are in a weird place when you would rather just forget an 11 win season.

If this counts it was drafting CMC.  Play wise, Luke's scoop and score vs the Jets is up there.

This was one of the ugliest 11 win seasons I've seen in a while plus we were one and done in the playoffs. Not really a successful season for me. Getting to the playoffs isn't good enough for me.

You can still enjoy moments from the season. We haven't won a SB so if you're using that as your barometer for whether you enjoy a football season then that's got to suck. 

And there is no such thing as an ugly 11 win season. Good lord we are such a spoiled fan base all of a sudden.

We had a punt return and a kickoff return both go for TDs - in the same season. That was pretty fun.

For me, it had to be the Gano FG for the Pats. Most satisfying ending to a game since the Seahawks game in '15. My wife and I watch all the games together, but I was in Miami for work that week. Watched it over Facetime together from the hotel room (which luckily was playing the game that weekend) and it was way more enjoyable than I thought it would be.

I am wanting consistency. We're 20 years into this franchise and have yet to have back to back winning seasons. There were good moments in the season, but overall, you never knew which team you were going to see week to week. That's why I consider it an ugly 11. I realize all times have off games, but we took it to the extreme. Our team is bipolar. Good wins vs the Pats and Vikes, and just terrible clunkers against the Bears and Tampa. Barely hanging on for a wins because we go prevent up by 7 in the 3rd. This team is better than this. I don't consider a lot of this fan base spoiled. I consider them frustrated with mediocrity. 

The highlight of the season for me is Shula getting canned, and I wouldn't have been sad to see Ron handed his walking papers either. 

Best moment of the year from a player. Watching Cam put Shula, Ron and this whole offense on his shoulders again and damn near willing a win in NO in the playoffs.

Cams td to beat Tampa was great in an otherwise forgettable game.

 

The kick to beat the pats was probably my favorite.  I've seen enough 7 and 9 seasons that I enjoyed the ride this year without a doubt.

It could have and should have been better.   They did not live up to the hype and generally just half-assed it through the season.  Besides, it was an odd year and you know they have a winning record in odd years.  Mediocrity? No thanks.

[Ornias]

Firing Shula and Cam still being upright at the end of the season.

hmm...the last fumble recovery against the Packers? The third down conversion on penalty keeping the drive to the FG against the Pats alive, I can remember was a big deal to me being there and all - once we got that first down I felt like we were going to kick and get the win. And of course it had nothing to do with us but Julio Jones end zone whiff just made me laugh and laugh
