The Legend of Playoff Fitz Grows! (Cardinals vs. Panthers 2008, NFC Divisional) 

@Sports Shorts He's one of my favorite players in the league. He always seems to have a great play against the Packers though. Even in 2018 the year the Cardinals won like 3 games, he had an amazing catch that helped pretty much ended the Packers playoff chances.

aww why you gotta bring that up

@@uub12 It's alright, I'm a Jags fan, so I know your pain :(

Saints did the same to the Cardinals in 2009 and the Steelers to the Chargers in 08 divisional. Remember those games so vividly.

Basically just the cardinals were on the road which made it even more crazy

:(

@Goy George Newton has a higher career completion percentage lol

Goy George bruh ur dumb Delhomme did some good stuff for us but Cam is our franchise qb

Ended up with the Browns in 2010 i believe. Then came Jimmy Clausen. Man was that a bad bad year for Carolina

@@lilmc5166 cam newton is fucking trash

David Anaya II If memory serves correctly, Delhomme’s slump continued into 2009 - he threw 4 interceptions in an opening loss to the Eagles and had 18 interceptions total (and a 59 rating) in his last year as a starter for the Panthers 😔. Sad way to end a memorable run with Carolina.

SPTO he was finished that’s pretty much why this happened lol

Yup. He was crying too. I felt for him

From what I remember I think it was his birthday during this game

@@hashslinginslasher Jeez! That makes it even worse if that's the case.

He not only had the 5 INT's but he lost a fumble and there was another pass that the Cardinal defender dropped.

And then the most devastating would-be Cinderella story Superbowl.

I'll talk about it til I'm blue in the face. Yup, Cards fan here.

@@Patrick-ho3st I was so happy when they lol

People forget how consistently good the Panthers used to be. They dominated the NFC South before the Saints.

Incorrect, the Panthers only made the playoffs 3 times in this era and won the NFC south only twice. In 2001 they went 1-15 and were themselves in the middle of a rebuild, because of that they quickly rebounded and went 11-5 in 2003. Missed in '04, went 11-5 in 2005 but failed to win the division, missed in '06 and '07, really their best year was '08 which was 12-4 and won the NFC South which was very competitive that year, Saints moving in, Falcons 11-5, Buc's on the final year of Gruden 9-3 before imploding in the last 4 games, but the Panthers fell in this game and that was the end. Year later 6-10 and collapsed to 2-14 in 2010. The Panthers had a lot of really quick rises and quick falls in their history, 12-4 in '96 and 4-12 in '98, 12-4 in '08 and 2-14 in 2010.

Mine too #13 for ever

@@gunnervictorika9859 Capt. Kurt!

And Thomas Davis. crazier when you think about his knee injuries

Johnath stewart was on the 2015 Superbowl roster. Peppers,steve Smith, delhomme where on the 2003 Superbowl roster

Damn Panthers really had some guys that stuck around

Alton Rodgers i played against his HS alma mater my senior year in 2010. He was a top hurdler back in high school and played at the local community college here in Santa Monica with Ochocinco (back when he was Chad Johnson). He was a man among men 💯

Go watch the NFC championship in 2006 (2005 season) and watch the seahawks put 4 on Smitty all game He had to return punts just to make plays, took one straight to the house he was so angry

@@ThirteenAmp factssss Steve is my goat the first wide out ever to get quadruple teamed and he was 5'9 if that doesn't tell them he was the best idk what will💯🐐

Couldn’t have said it better. On a mission.

The all seeing Eye same thing I’ve said for years. This game broke him, it was gut wrenching to watch and his career literally ended here.

@@EWUFBIiswatching It was good for Panthers because if his career didn't change there maybe they don't end up getting Cam a couple years later. Lol

@@justinpettit3432 Hard to say this is a good thing considering that Cam is out of Carolina now. Sure, he got them the one Super Bowl appearance, but he then proceeded to implode for the next few seasons before he finally got booted.

Exactly, if you three thousand yard receivers you got the best receiving core.

@@bird_gang_az9598 Those receivers were good, but lets be honest. They were only as good as their QB. When Warner left, even Fitz sucked until Palmer came into town.

@@Sillysoft He didn’t suck lmao. You can’t throw the ball to yourself

They were 9-7 and had gotten BLOWN OUT by all the good teams they had played. No one saw this run coming.

I had forgotten about that, with I think it was Steve Breston maybe? Getting 1000 yards along with Fitz and Boldin

Although Edge never won a ring, he did receive one from Jim Irsay

@@marvinlynch1305that’s not same… winning one and just getting one isn’t the same

I KNOW RIGHT

Yes

Ricardo Ollivierre with coverage

because all he ever did was almost win...

@@tommyverno8750 true Statement

Thank you, almost doesn’t count smh.

Tommy Verno I’d say winning division titles and an NFC championship counts as winning, considering you’re playing at the highest level in the world. He has nothing to hang his head about, he’s accomplished more than 99.9999999999% of other American athletes.

@Smart Kid Jimmy And you discredit him by calling him Dehome and not Delhomme.

Randy Moss?

Moss died?

3rd, Randy Moss is the second best receiver of all time.

FuckingHateTwilight HOF Ring

Haha will his career is almost over and Randy is a lot better

He turned that franchise around. Let's not forget the year he took them to the Super Bowl came two years after the team went 1-15, losing 15 in a row. That says a lot!

FuckingHateTwilight Yeah i hope you guys can get juju a ring but here we are

The way this Cardinals was playing, I'm not sure I'd call it an upset.

Ya Steve breaston former Michigan guy on that crazy 2006 team

Ya he deserved ring he was like Brad johnson type

We went into the playoffs limping thanks to Burress shooting himself (literally).

2011

I remember this when I was 8 you and Atlanta lost to the cardinals

Meanwhile we won the superbowl day after beat the colts

​@@kamyriengillies1781oh yeah the cards destroyed us and the pathers

Patrick Nugent PREACH. But certainly not the worst loss for me. I cried after both Super Bowl Ls. But this one is for sure in my top 5 panther heartbreaks.

Vincent Vega completely understand that. Both of those outcomes were hard to accept.

At least in 1996 you beat Dallas

Deadly accurate too give him time in the pocket he will get you to playoffs every year

Happened in 2006 with the Chargers and Ravens.

Carson Palmar 2015 what about me

Fitz is ahead of Calvin in every category.... Bad comment

@@aarronvanburen8612 I was gonna say did Calvin Johnson ever play in the postseason?

Probably made you feel better

I think everyone remembers DRC considering he was in coverage on the Santonio Holmes play in the SB. Wasn't even bad coverage. Some things just can't be defended against. Then he went on to have a few good years with the Giants. Solid CB for a good while.

I remember that. That's a good suggestion. I was thinking 2001 bears vs either cleveland or san fransisco when mike brown returned 2 picks for game winning tds.

That's a trigger warning for Vikings fans.

Or Super Bowl 32

The super bowl hurt a lot

Its a top 5 superbowl but the fact we lost sucks.

Didn't they pick up Robert Alford last season? He was above average in Atlanta. Was injured or something.

@@andrewflynn113 yeah,he still on the team but he got injured early asf,what I'm wantin ta see is Pat P at CB1,someone like a Marcus Peters at CB2 && Alford playin in the slot CB,then we almost guaranteed a playoff appearance

Marcus Peters as a CB2? Bro you insane, no way he'd ever take a CB2 role or paystub when he's a bonafide CB1 on 25+ teams. Let that guy they drafted last year develop as CB2, he got the size for bigger receivers while Peterson has the athleticism for the fast ones, shift Alford to slot, and draft some OL help. Cards OL pretty below average, it helps that Murray is small and quick but he got sacked a helluva lot last year

@@andrewflynn113 i dont mean specifically Peters I jus mean someone LIKE that,like a one of the better "household" names is what I meant
