History.  Until we beat it we're doomed to repeat it.

Was just about to say back-to-back winning seasons. We get that checked off and we will have some serious improvement as a whole.

Maybe Darnold shows his ass and goes off vs. Buccs... Maybe that continues and maybe it doesn't bother Tom because well he aint gone lose sleep over us, but maybe it gets to the other guy Kyle Trask (who maybe gets the start in 2023 or maybe Brady says fug him and stays).

 

I know this says 2021 lol im just throwing a random (probably unlikely) scenario out there

Honestly, with our coaching staff and the culture they're building... I'd say it'll be exactly what @Mr. Scotsaid, maybe our rival is who we're playing that week. Take it a game at a time. That's the kinda coach Rhule is.

Never knew NFL teams had rivals, or chants.  Thought that was just college.

I’ll ask an old John McKay question....which rival/opponent is the sweetest victory, which the most painful loss.  Regardless of the opponents win/loss history?

Good question.  Here are some of the best I can think of off tops.

Beating the defending champion Dallas Cowboys in the playoffs at home in our 2nd year was pretty epic. Also following that up in 03 with another Dallas playoff ass kicking in BOA.

Beating the defending champion Buccaneers by blocking an extra point with no time left on the clock sending us to overtime where we won was other worldly.

2008 @ NO last second FG to win the division. (was there)

2013 vs NO Hixon last second TD in the rain.

2015 vs Dallas on Thanksgiving. Luke back to back Ints.

Honorable mention: Jacksonville.  Our expansion brother.  Its more relaxed than an actual rivalry but I always keep an eye out when they play well.

 

Oh and losses?  Yeah I dont really remember those.  Not sure its ever happened?

Thank you for your answer, I am truly interested.  Looks like Dallas and NO?  
 

TB....the franchise we lost our beloved John McKay too.....and he regretted leaving USC for, all of his days.

Dallas and Washington were the 2 teams on TV here before the Panthers.  Most original Panthers fans were following now of those 2 teams.  Thats why Dallas seems to get a little extra sauce from fans.

Then you’d love the 96 playoff game.  Crushed Irvin, put him out.  They put Deon Sanders on offense and all 4 LBers dog piled him head first into the ground. He gone.  Then it was “everybody meet at Aikman.”

Good times, if you hated those Cowboys teams.

Watched it last week because someone here had posted it in a thread, Summerall & Madden in the booth. that was a fun team to watch, Mills and Walls both came up big, as did others. too bad they couldn't pull off a win the next week

It's kind of a function of the structure. You have to win your division to get to the playoffs, so the other three teams in your division become your rivals.

The animosity between teams just kind of comes naturally in that situation, but certain people do "stoke the flames" as it were 😄

Good list. I would add the 2015 win over the seahawks, they had abused us for a couple of years before that game and it felt so good to finally beat them.

      Canes vs redwings 7pm

      By Day1PanthersFan · Posted

      It's not good to leave any netminder having a bad night out there, not fair to them, not fair to the skaters still trying to win the game It's classless and shows a lack of respect, for them has a player and a human being, you aren't gaining anything, you aren't learning anything , except they just don't have it that night. I don't care if it's a multiple Vezina Winner, or a 3rd string back up, don't leave them out there to shame themselves and the rest of the team  What if Lavi left Cam in when he didn't have it, and Rod had to skate knowing he essentially has an open net at his end of the ice, would he enjoy that ?

      Ryan Fowler: Panthers hosting Texas A&M Shemar Stewart

      If they draft Stewart at 8th, I will ask @Mr. Scot for a list of GMs and might as well ask for HC too.....

      Ryan Fowler: Panthers hosting Texas A&M Shemar Stewart

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I can't for the life of me figure out what people are seeing in Stewart on tape. If he can't just simply run around or through the OL in front of him, he's cooked. I don't see any actual moves. If he doesn't win on sheet athleticism at the point of contact he's nullified. I don't know if I've ever seen him actually beat a block once engaged. Then, even if he just blasts right past or through the OL and has a clean path to the ball it's like he's blind. He can't find the ball. He's like a bottle rocket. Yeah, he takes off fast but he's just going to go fast in a general direction. There will be no course correction. I watched quite a bit on him just because of his perceived draft evaluation and because of the wild discrepancy between measurables and production. Watch him play and it all makes since. He's a god tier physical specimen who just happens to be playing football. I don't see a football player. People need to stop falling in love with the potential and start realizing why the potential isn't translating.
