Best Carolina Game Ever...

2015 NFC Divisional Playoff against the Seahawks, because I was there and the buildup, the game, the finish and the celebrating were just incredible

I actually think it's more fun to watch the behind the scenes videos of that game than it is to see the game itself.

Reason being when you watch the videos, you get to see Russell Wilson relentlessly pounding that "greatest comeback ever" mantra.

Then you get to watch him fail

X-Clown is forever burned in my brain. I kept donning and taking off my jersey in excitement and angst as the game went on.

Tons of other great games(most of them mentioned in this thread already) to choose from but I will never forget the wild swings of emotion from that 2003 game against The Greatest Show on Turf.

Although I grew up with the Panthers(inaugural season onward), that game made me a lifelong Panthers fan.

I’ll try to think of some weird ones

1. 2010 loss against the Ravens. We kinda held our own for 3 quarters but there are worse was to lose than getting finished off by Ed Reed and Ray Lewis. The Brian St. Pierre jokes are still funny to me and one guy at the stadium in the home lowers has his jersey. The Gettis touchdown was electric and the whole stadium lit up for that short time like we weren’t the worst team in the league. Also the Ravens fans TOOK OVER the stadium but were pretty nice about it. 

2. 2011 vs the Bucs at home. A blowout with your #1 pick breaking Mannings yardage record, Christmas Eve. I went with my friends family and was the perfect amount of buzzed the entire time. Rode home in their giant excursion listening to the post game, I felt like a kid. 

3. Jake coming back against the Chargers in 08, it wasn’t one of our “play like crap but pull it out last second” kind of games. The Chargers were a tough tough team and Jake pulled it out. The Oline and run game were much improved. 

4. The Bucs loss where David Carr did his dive was hilarious and like the highlight of his career lol. 

5. The 1st saints game where we really whooped up on them in 04 was really satisfying. 
 

6. The Nick Goings era in 04 with some of his huge games was great. 
 

7. The 05 Monday night game against the Packers was a ton of fun with Fosters crazy long stiff arm. 
 

8. The game where we FINALLY started Foster against the Falcons and Vick met Thomas Davis.

The 02 Lions game with our top pick vs their top pick was very cathartic.

There's that, but there are many layers onto it. There's the Seahawks fan at Hooters before the game complimenting me on my Luke sweater, and my resisting the urge to say "fug off, man," plus the fan yelling "MALCOLM BUTLER, LOOKING FOR A MALCOLM BUTLER" as we walked into the stadium. Then, there's Luke's pick-six, Cam's touchdown pass to Olsen, the 31-0 first half and their inevitable comeback, crushed by Thomas Davis.

How about games when the Panthers put somebody out of the game... Career even...

Michael Irving and Deon Sanders - Both put into Charlotte Memorial Hospital that night.

Dante Culpepper.

Donovan McNabb (playoffs)

Chris Simms (If I remember correctly Jenkins busted his spleen.)

If anybody can remember more or make corrections thx.

We used to be scary.

 

 

 

It wasn't KJ it was AL Wallace...

I can't believe I didn't think to include your #3 game in my list.  Awesome!  I still wish I could find the video from the last play of Charger fans at home so excited, then so deflated with that walk-off TD.

Also, I got to attend your #8 game.  By the end, I was actually hoping the Falcons would get the ball more because I was so enjoying TD and the D beating up on Michael Vick.

If you're speaking of weird ones, you gotta include Jake's butt hanging out when he tore his pants but still finished the drive with a TD.

Games that season always seemed to follow that same pattern: Get up big in the first half, fail to adjust at halftime and pray we'd built up a big enough lead that they couldn't overcome it.

The Seattle playoff game was arguably the pinnacle of that model.

Yeah was that the 2nd Falcons 05 game I think?

Might've been.  It was the home game.  So, I may have right year/wrong game from the one you were speaking of.

I got very, very drunk in the Falcons stadium when we absolutely whooped them to secure the king of poop mountain in 2014. When Tre Boston returned that pick 6 I was going nuts and giving it to all the Falcons fans leaving the whole quarter. Fun times! 

[Killah_Ray]

X-Clown is always gonna be number one short of us ever winning the Super Bowl, but just to add a couple of different ones that are more recent, the Thanksgiving game vs the Cowboys was amazing considering I was watching with a bunch of Cowboys fans, and the 13 game vs Pats was a damn good one.

 

I only vaguely remember the first playoff win vs the Cowboys since I was only 9 and everyone else was a Cowboys fan in my house so I remember lots of hatred from them and that's about it.

That was a fun one!  Before the game, Falcons forum was talking so much trash about Cam and saying Matt Ryan was so much better of a QB.  It was fun afterwards to say "Yeah, I guess you're right.  After all, Matt did score just as many points for the Panthers as Cam did."
