What one Panthers game would you most want to go back in time to see?


Matt Foley

Recommended Posts

I know the obvious answer is the Super Bowl, but I think that's the wrong answer. For one, the Panthers lost in heartbreaking fashion. How about these choices?

A. The Hall of Fame game versus Jax

B. The win over Pittsburgh that sealed the division in 96

C. The win over Dallas in the playoffs that year

D. The win at St. Louis in the 03 playoffs

E. The win at Philly the next week to clinch a spot in the SB

I think if I was a lifelong Panthers fan, it would be a trip to go back and watch that first game in Canton. Just to see how far the franchise has come. But the other options would be great, too. If I had to pick another one it would be E.

NFC championship game against St. Louis... epic

NFC Champ game was against the Eagles, we played the Rams in the divisional round. However the game against the Rams would be likely be my choice too! That was an amazing game. Another game I'd consider is the game against Tampa Bay in 2003. It was the 2nd game of the season, they were the reigning champs and we were in there house and we blocked the extra point with 0:00 on the clock and took it to OT for the win.

It was the night before. Wonder where the hot one is now?

was it? Thought it was after the game. That would be even better then so I could just sleep in and catch the game on the hotel tele with the lovelies.

Geez, you guys' memories are off. The St. Louis game wasn't the NFC Championship, and the Tampa game with the blocked kicks was in Tampa. LOL

Yep, I was actually at that game. Everyone kept asking who Kris Jenkins was, I let them know he was the guy that replaced Sapp in the pro bowl.

    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important. 
    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?
