Never forget..

I remember Steve Young gushing about how we were unbeatable if we could run like that all the time. What an awesome game. Stiff-arms and jukes galore!

We ran it down their damn throats that game. I was so excited that they even moved it from Sunday to Monday night. Epic rushing attack. Vintage smash and dash.

i even hung around until the very last second of the game. i was one of maybe four people in my section still sitting around in the rain.

the weirdest part was the two cardinals fans who had actually flown in from arizona sitting in front of me leaving early when the game became a massacre. i mean what the hell-something like that is a once in a lifetime thing and i'd be out there bathing in it.

They couldn't quite digest what just happened....lol. They were probably like, "let's get a drink and make sense of this"

Wierdest part for me was this stevie wonder song (leaving for the city) playing in my car on my drive to my friend's place to watch the game....and towards the end of the game, I heard the same exact song being played at BofA Stadium in the TV...wierd poo man

I had this Jake poster up on my wall, and in third quarter it was on other side of the room.

I was there. Was the most miserable game I have ever been at. My girlfriend got mad at me and told me to quit acting like a baby. I said shut up bitch

I was at that game. First drive was run, run, run, pass, run and run some more. Touchdown. They come down and score on us and all of sudden it was Pass, pass, pass. No running. Seemed like Fox abandoned the ground game in the first quarter. Sucked.

I actually looked at the play sheet. We still ran quite a few times. They were just followed by ints everytime jake dropped back to pass

[toldozer]

Also i went to the game for a negative amount, that was my only positive. I was paid to watch that ass whipping.

[Marguide]

We still haven't recovered TBH.

Agree. You could just sense it that very night. You just knew deep down that it was the end of an era and we were facing a long road to recovery. We're still on that road.

yeah that's the game that the panthers front office/director of marketing decided it'd be a great idea to make up a bunch of white towels so panthers fans could wave surrender flags emblazoned with the panthers logo and show their fighting spirit

[MechaZain]

Literally the beginning of a sharp decline for the franchise and I'm glad to see we all agree it's the worst.

I have my Growl Towel still. With a buy one get one Planters peanut coupon. Also a Maxwell house coffee coupon. If you show your VIC card of course. Expires 1/27/09 valued at 1/100 of a cent. I spent $200 on a Club level seat because it was my first home playoff game and I wanted to live large. We were expecting snow to slow down Kurt Warner led offense but all we got was a few tears from the upper deck.

I was one of those idiots that truly believed we would come back in the second half. The Panthers had never been one and done in the playoffs, EVER. By the end of the game it was a funeral and I was the only person left in my pew. That was the first of what would become many times I felt embarassed to be a Panther fan.
