This was my first NFL game. I took my dad. We had so much crap talking to us as we walked to the stadium from the parking lot. We wore our Panthers jerseys but refused to talk crap back, because of obvious reasons. We had seats right behind the Panthers bench. Everybody behind the benches had to stand to see the action. Good ol Qualcomm 😆 Anyway, I knew my Panthers had to win that game. I couldn't go 0-1 on my first NFL experience. I knew Delhomme would throw the winning TD on the final play. That set the tone for a magical season, until they choked to Arizona in the playoffs. I still reminisce and cherish the memories from that day and that season.
Delhomme was underrated IMO, he was clutch and had one of the best pump fakes I’ve seen from any qb, not just this play either. The Tommy John surgery killed his arm
From 04-10 The Chargers & The Panthers were 2 of the most disappointing teams in the NFL they both had so much potential but always folded in big games
I’m a Steelers fan, but I always tuned in to watch the Panthers during this time, loved the Steve Smith and Muhsin Muhammad duo, Delhomme was a hot shot gunslinger, and Jon Beason was one of my favorite defensive players in the league at the time.
The year the Chargers started 4-8 and made the playoffs after winning their final 4 games to finish 8-8 and the Broncos imploding late in the year going 8-5 to 8-8 and lead to the firing of Mike Shanahan.
When he was linebackers coach even though he was the bears dc the year before the team that lost to the colts in the super bowl , strange career demotion
@@erocs9747 , Ron Rivera was then promoted sometime in the middle of the season to be the Chargers Def. Coordinator. The defense improved under his watch but there were several Charger defenders that would be lost for the year, namely Shawne Merrimen after this game.
man, i remember this game. i had to look it up and watch. going with my brother, dad and little cousin back in the day. we were all little teenagers lol such a heartbreaking loss for my cousins first ever chargers game but such a good damn game ! nostalgic as hell watching this !
This was the year the released his elite lead blocker lorenzo neal and even though he had a good year this was when lt started aging also and i think the marty years who were heavy run teams also caught up to him all those hits even though they had turner and sproles backing him up...
Underrated game on opening day that I'm sure a lot of folks forgot about. Two playoff bound teams going down to the wire. This was Jake's last year as a viable starter before he fell off. Regardless, he played well in crunch time without Steve Smith who if I remember correctly was hurt. John Fox's Panthers were a running team, but Jake was good enough to sometimes get the Panthers out of trouble.
This was the year when Vincent Jackson first really started reaching his potential, and quentin jammer was very underrated I'm his prime and the best name for a corner lmao former top 5 pick from Texas
Man that blocking group was just nasty. A couple of elite technicians with Gross and Kalil, then some maulers in Wharton, Vincent, and Otah. Plus King and Hoover busting heads.
His arm died. That Tommy John surgery only lasted so long. Those throws he was making in this game, eventually turned into ducks by the time we played Arizona in the playoffs.
Ehhh Jake couldnt have won that. The story of the game was Larry fitzeald and boldin exposing the Panthers corners. Lucas and Gamble were trash at this point in their careers
The Panthers were just a weird team that year. No winning record in 2006 or 2007, no winning record in 2009 or 2010 (worst record in the league that year), and yet, they get a first round bye in 2008 with Jake Delhomme at QB, who only threw 15 touchdowns in 16 starts One of the weirdest one-season wonders in recent years
Had Delhomme stayed healthy in 06 and 07, they would’ve made the playoffs in both years. They easily could’ve made the playoffs in 06 if he didn’t get hurt in those three games. The six seed in the NFC had the same record as them too. In 07, he was off to his best start of his career before he got injured and the Bucs took advantage in a weak division so I would’nt consider 2008 a weird year for the Panthers, it was a year where they finally got back on track before they fell off in 09
Did one of the commentators laugh at the final touchdown? Ive been a long time Panther fan. I live in SD and when I finally got a chance to see them it was awesome!!! Wish they had defense like this old line up now. Their old defense killed it! Kris Jenkins, Julius Peppers, Chris Gamble, Mike after dinner Minter! Funny thing is Ive lived in SD pretty much my whole life and was never a Charger fan.
LMAO this was the "Rosario Dawson" game - before they went off the air they said that Dante Rosario was the player of the game, and they showed him on camera, but the FOX graphic had his name as Rosario Dawson. LOLOLOL
Panthers fan. I was at that game. I think after the final play only people you can hear were the players down there screaming and a few panthers fans like me. Place went silent. Ahh good times.
DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart were so fun to watch. I’ll never forget Double Trouble torching the Bucs defense on MNF which ultimately led to Jon Gruden fired. I wish they could’ve got a super bowl ring with the panthers too.
Still remember being at my sisters' house watching the game. They were talking crap thinking we had the game sealed, then that shyt happens! Lol!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was at the game and for many years misplays and mistakes have caused them alot of games in the pasts playoffs and trips to super bowls and head coaches.
Man I was at this game surrounded by a few annoying Charger fans who kept talking smack to me. They didn't have much to say when I pointed at the scoreboard at the end. Never experienced such sudden switch from noise to silence. Could hear a pin drop when Rosario caught the ball.
What’s with the audio of these older games with the crowd sounding like it’s filtered through a tin can? I don’t remember it sounding like this back then
Oh I miss the good old days where the Chargers had a good offense where they had Quarterback Philip Rivers and the tight-end Antonio Gates and the greatest RB of all time LaDamien Tomlinson
Fo those who forget how good marcus mcneil was then look up his rookie year credentials, as good as a offensive lineman rookie year as anyone this century, except maybe Quentin Nelson
I'm a Chargers fan and I've know we've played since then but yesterday's game and keeping you guys the only three points felt like I finally got paid back for this game.... And we made you guys bench. Bryce young😅
Who knows muhsin Muhammad. Two time pro bowler /first team all pro honors in 2004 / nfl receptions leader in 2000/ led the league in receiving touchdowns and receiving yards in 2004
Such a hot and cold QB granted panthers never provided for him or Cam properly but yeah was it 6 picks against Arizona in the playoffs that year…? Yeah that game was just abysmal I will never forget that
Rivers games always come down to having the ball with less than four minutes and down by 4+. Here we are, in san diego, and the QB in that same position is not only wearing 17, but is also playing against the chargers 😂
2008 was a year of transition for the SAN DIEGO Chargers. LT was declining in this year. He was taking some brutal hits nothing like his previous 7 years. They let go of Michael "Burner" Turner and he went on to have some monster years in Atlanta. The Chargers defense was not as disciplined under Ted Cottrell as they were under Marty & Wade Phillips. Norv Turner was a top offensive mind tutoring Philip Rivers but as a HC he didn't have the detail that Marty did. The Chargers lost in so many brutal ways like this comeback by Carolina. the Ed Hochuli game in Denver. But the 2008 Chargers ended on a roll to make the playoffs. Also F--You Dean Spanos. Worse owner in Pro Sports !!!
Dude you can barely hear the announcer those fans are so loud. Its a literal frenzy down there. Wont have that in LA..... Im a falcons fan i know loud.. we pump that shit right into the stadium lol
Dude, get out! The Chargers had the most blacked out games in NFL history when they were in San Diego. From 2011-2013, by far had that lead. If I can recall correctly, in 2012 they had every single game except one game blackedout. There was even a Monday Night Football game that had to be bought by local businesses or commercial sponsors. They had to buy tickets just so the game could be watched in the local markets. That's pretty fcuking bad! After 2010, fans just quit going to the stadiums. It was pretty pathetic.
@@samw.8734 Yeah thye stopped going cuz Spanos kept threatening to move the team and nothing got done with the stadium situation. When the Chargers were competitive and making the playoffs, the Q was rocking. Now they have 2k fans (maybe) in a soccer stadium with the rest of it empty or rooting for the other team.
@@abruzz0 What you just mentioned has no relevance towards anything. Dean has been threatening that since the 90s. But no! You know what San Diego decided to do instead? They gave the shitty San Diego Padres one over them. You know where their priorities are. The city council could give two shyts about the Chargers. They never rectified anything with Dean. Now Dean moved them to LA. Fcuk SD's stupid corporate @$$holes. You are lucky he didn't move them to Mexico then that would give someone something to bytch about.

As a Panthers fan, we took Jake and Cam for granted….but those two helped establish us as a legitimate NFL team. I thank them both.
And Kerry Collins in 1996
@@ericpackers1700 Don't forget the late Kevin Greene, Sam Mills, Chad Cota and the rest of those guys.
me too man. I still remember Jake's tearful goodbye to the team. I started crying along with him at the school library, LOL. love u brothaaa
Kerry Collins was a bust in Carolina. Look up his stats and w/l splits. The nfc title game doesn't negate that.
Dick Stockton and the NFL on FOX theme and graphics give me pure nostalgia for some reason and I love it

Jake Delhomme can be feast or famine, but when he’s on, he’s a pretty darn good quarterback!!
There's a very good reason he's in the Panthers Hall of Honor!
Delhomme was underrated IMO, he was clutch and had one of the best pump fakes I’ve seen from any qb, not just this play either. The Tommy John surgery killed his arm
Best qb in panther history

This feels like every game in Phillip Rivers career. Losing in the final seconds.
Classic Rivers. Did his job (3 TDs) only to be on the bench watching in agony as his defense and/or kicker blows the game.
Man that blocking group was just nasty. A couple of elite technicians with Gross and Kalil, then some maulers in Wharton, Vincent, and Otah. Plus King and Hoover busting heads.
The crowd noise is so much louder than the commentators
War eagle Auburn
It is worse now than it was at this time. Yeah, it is terribly imbalanced.
awesome!
Because the chargers actually have fans in San Diego and not in L.A.
The way his season started out, you'd never guess Delhomme would eventually choke his ass off in the playoffs.
It happens look at cam and most other qbs it happens.
