This is reminiscent of the 2017 NFC Championship, when the Vikings scored the first touchdown right away, then got obliterated for the next 55 minutes.
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
:(
And this is the game that signaled the end of Jake Delhomme’s run in Carolina 😔.
@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.
11 years later, and Larry Fitzgerald is STILL doing what he does. The guy is amazing.
@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.
I remember watching this game live Larry Fitzgerald had the GREATEST post season in NFL history for a receiver he did everything but win the Superbowl
I'm not even a Panthers fan but I felt so bad for Delhomme when I watched that game live. It was the self destruction of a career in slow motion and we all saw it unfold like a train wreck.
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.
One of the craziest upsets that no one ever talks about.
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.
Bruh Steve Smith is 5'9 look at how they triple covering him these kids don't know about agent#89 steve was different and this cards team was just on a mission
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.
Bruh no one gonna say anything about 3 1,000 yard receivers on Arizona? And people at the time said this could be one of the worst playoff teams of NFL history smh
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
It’s easy to forget how long deangelo Williams and jonathon Stewart played in Carolina. Damn
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
It was Jake delhomme's birthday worst game of his career and was never the same after this
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.
@@richardsinclair7661 the lies you tell old man LMFAOO
@@phonso5876 First, where's the lie? Cam's best season after the Panthers' Super Bowl run was in 2018 and the Panthers didn't do shit, then he imploded, got traded, looked good for like 2 games, and now he's retired.
Second, old? I'm 27. Third, you really responded to a four year old comment and tried to feel superior? Gtfoh.
Nobody gave Jake Dehome credit for almost WINNING a super bowl.
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.
Kurt Warner was incredible in the Playoffs. He's a legend in his own b/c nobody can brag about going from stocking groceries to leading two nobodies out of nowhere to the Super Bowl. He was my favorite player growing up and still is my favorite player ever.
Mine too #13 for ever
@@gunnervictorika9859 Capt. Kurt!
This was the best playoff run by a WR in NFL history, 546 yards and 7 td's whilst making every big play Arizona needed... The cardinals don't make it out of the wildcard without Fitz during that season.
Thank you for posting a game where the Cardinals actually won
I KNOW RIGHT
Yes
And to think the Cardinals finished 2nd in the Peyton Manning sweepstakes
Imagine Peyton Larry and Wes Walker
Jesus that offense would be scary but man it would be tough as hell to make the SB with the Seahawks 49ers Packers etc all still there
Jake Delhomme didn't deserve to go out like this. He created so much stability at QB for the Panthers
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!
Yo this was the Cards Superbowl year when they almost upset Pittsburgh!
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.
When it’s all said and done, Larry Fitz will be right behind Jerry Rice as the top 2nd best receiver to ever play this game
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
Edgerrin James left the Colts the year before they finally won the SB, but 3 years later miraculously got to a SB with the freaking Cards on a cinderella run, only to lose anyway to the very same team that had ripped the Colts hearts’ out his last year in Indy. Brutal that Edge didn’t get a ring
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
It's so strange too watch a NFL game from 2008 and realizing that neither of these teams win a Superbowl , Jake was underrated panthers QB....
We not gonna talk about how DOMINANT Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie was in this game
Ricardo Ollivierre with coverage
Larry Fitzgerald is that gentleman and stand up guy you want your daughter to marry lol
And to think 2 years later they collapsed to 2-14 with Jimmy Clausen at QB, which led to John Fox being fired.
The only receivers to have a better peak than playoff Fitz are Rice, Moss and Calvin Johnson
Fitz is ahead of Calvin in every category.... Bad comment
@@aarronvanburen8612
I was gonna say did Calvin Johnson ever play in the postseason?
Yes! Inject this Fitz in my veins
You can literally see Jake Delhomme’s confidence literally leave his body. You have to feel bad for him.
Ya he deserved ring he was like Brad johnson type
And then the following afternoon the Giants got beat by the Eagles making it the first time ever the 1 and 2 seeded teams from the same conference both lost in the divisional round.
Happened in 2006 with the Chargers and Ravens.
Only real fans remember these beast
- Deangelo Williams
- Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie
- Steve Breaston
- Antrelle Rolle
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 am a cardinals fan but I felt bad for Delhomme. Poor guy :/ I know its sports but I am an empath lol
As a panthers fan living in Arizona, this game broke my heart 😭
Delhomme was a interception machine in this game
This year is so crazy, NY Giants become a seed 1 and lose to Eagles and Cardinals upsets a Panthers seed 2.
We went into the playoffs limping thanks to Burress shooting himself (literally).
This is one of the most painful memories in Panthers history😭😭😭our worst playoff game ever plus this was suppose to be a super bowl year for us
This is every panthers fans nightmare of game I almost threw up just thinking of how many ints this man threw
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
Cardinals had three 1,000 yard receivers. Super crazy.
Ya Steve breaston former Michigan guy on that crazy 2006 team
This game and playoff run was so big for all of us in Arizona. I still live in AZ, and was 10 during their big run. I don’t ever remember a time that our state was so united. This run cemented the legacy of Fitz as arguably the most beloved athlete that Arizona will ever have.
Panthers honestly didn’t even play bad, this is just the game that Jake Delhomme threw away lmao. You can’t do anything when your qb just gives the ball to the other team. His throws were terrible, why didn’t they run the ball
Ken Lucas kept getting cooked too
I’ll never forget this game. It’s the one that broke Jake’s confidence. He was NEVER the same after losing.
This team was better than the one that took them to the Super Bowl the 1st time. Look at the effort from the defense, all those turnovers and they held them to a lot of field goals. If not for Jake completely losing focus, they would’ve made it to the big game again.
Look I’m a saints fan but I got split loyalty here I go to ULL the college that jake Delhomme went and played same place as Charles tilman and Brandon stokely but i feel bad for jake I love him and I could tolerate the panthers then because of him I can’t stand Newton
Random Polish guy look at the bright side, at least Cam isn’t AB.
Vincent Vega yeah but I don’t like his celebrations tho it’s like he’s looking to piss someone off
Not a Panthers or Cardinals fan but I genuinely felt for Jake Delhomme here.
As a Panthers fan, I don’t know which loss was more painful, this one against the Cardinals or Super Bowl 50 against the Broncos 🤷🏻♂️ 😞
The super bowl hurt a lot
I remember Carolina being heavily favored in this game. Their ground game was lethal. You knew Arizona was going to the SB after this though. Was a very impressive win
That Carolina team was legit. Nasty defense, great running game. Delhomme picked the worst time to have his worst game. Lol picks thrown everywhere.
More playoff highlights please! 😃❤️
Larry Fitzgerald went absolutely STUPID in these playoffs!!! Dude is a fucking monster!
I was at this game as an 8 year old. I remember falling asleep.
This was effectively RIP Jake Delhomme, which was kind of a shame, he had a lot of talent but outside of 2003 it wasn't sustainable enough.
But at least Larry shined in this game. Everybody loves that guy. Can't believe how good he still is in 2019, hasn't lost a step!
Man Delhomme Was Bad This Game 😂😂🤦🏽♂️
This game marked
-The first ever divisional round playoff win for the Cardinals
-The first Cardinals road playoff win since 1998
-The first-ever Eastern Time Zone victory for the Cardinals since week 11 of the previous season
-Kurt Warner’s first and only career road playoff win
-The final playoff game for John Fox as Panthers head coach
-The final playoff game of Jake Delhomme’s career
-The Cardinals last win at Carolina to date
2011
crazy thing is, the panthers defense in the NFC championship in 2015 did this exact same thing that the cardinals did to us in 2008....
Why is Arizona beating the panthers I’m so confused
Both teams were really good in 2008. I wasn't able to watch it but I did pick Arizona to win by a field goal. When I checked the final score, I was shocked as hell. Warner and Fitz were killing it along with that Cardinals defense. I felt bad for Jake Delhomme. I never expected him to commit 5 INTs. @15:17 It's was to see an NFL Europe reunion between Warner and Delhomme.
Some ideas for Week 3 of the 2019 Season:
Saints-Seahawks Beast Quake playoff game
Giants-Bucs 2007 Wild Card
Jets upset Tom Brady in Foxboro with Mark freaking Sanchez
Miami-Dallas Thanksgiving Leon Lett misplay
🙂
Larry Fitzgerald was a legit SUPERSTAR back then! Should’ve gotten that ring man
I remember being excited as a Giants fan thinking we were gonna play Cards in the cold of Giants Stadium feeling this was the much easier matchup. Little did I know that we wouldn’t even get the chance to play them cause Philly pulled off the upset.
2008 was such a great season! Only one team with a playoff bye survived Divisional weekend. The last McNabb/Dawk/Westbrook run in Philly. Arizona’s magical run, no New England, CJ2k and the Titans were a top seed over Manning’s Colts. Even Carolina was a fun team that year even with this awful loss above. One of the best seasons ever. Shame Pittsburgh won at the end though. Kind of a boring team to win the title in a crazy season.
Larry is everything you want from a player on and off the field. Legend!
I remember being so damn angry watching this
They go right down and score easy with Dwill and stewart and I'm like we bout to beat their ass
Then Jake just...goddamnit...they ran the ball 10 more times, after Dwill had a break out season with zero fumbles and 19 tds...
Then on defense they just passed Fitz off to the saftey constantly, hed run right past Gamble and gamble would just stay in the zone, and Fitz just tore us up
I remember watching this game as a kid... this brings back bad memories...
Jesus, I remember this shit. This game rocked. Super Bowl sucked tho.
Its a top 5 superbowl but the fact we lost sucks.
U need to do one of Antonio Brown and Leveon Bell best game together
As a Buccaneer fan this was one of my favorite games ever lol
13:22 when u know u just lost that Bojangles endorsement 🤣
Ahhh the days when Carolina sold out a stadium this and 2015. Lol my o my times have changed
Forget Super Bowl 38, Super Bowl 50, 1996 NFC Championship, or the loss to Atlanta that gave us our only regular season loss in 2015. This was without a doubt the hardest game for me to watch as a fan.
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
At least you didn't blow a 28-3 lead in the Superbowl
Kurt Warner was just one of the smartest QBs in the game man. Knew what he had to do and made good reads.
Deadly accurate too give him time in the pocket he will get you to playoffs every year
I don't care what anyone says, this man is Jerry Rice & Randy Moss level!!!
Delhomme sold bruh the passes he was making🤦🏾
7:24 Larry wanted a super bowl more than anything else in the world
Carolina has made the playoffs in 8 of it’s 27 seasons as a franchise. Arizona has made the playoffs in 5 of the last 27 seasons. Despite 1 team reaching the postseason less than once every 3 years and the other doing so less than once every 5 years, Carolina and Arizona have BOTH made the playoffs FOUR times. Not only that but they’ve played each other in the playoffs THREE times. Since 1995 there has been about a 10 percent chance that Carolina was one of the teams involved in any given NFC playoff game and about a 6 percent chance that Arizona was one of the 2 teams playing that day. Statistically there should’ve been around a 0.6 percent chance of the Panthers and Cardinals meeting in the playoffs. Yet they have done so in 3 different seasons. The Eagles and Seahawks have made the playoffs 12 and 14 times in the last 19 years. Philly has played 22 NFC postseason games and Seattle has played 24 of their own. They’ve faced each other exactly once in the playoffs. 2 teams that are constantly in the playoffs and usually win a game or 2 when they get there have faced each other once. One time in 46 combined games. 3 of the Panthers last 7 playoff matchups have been against a team that participated in just 6 percent of NFC postseason games. You know what else? The Cardinals have won 6 playoff games in their 5 postseason appearances since 1995. That’s 1 less than the Dolphins, Texans, Lions, and Bengals have won in their combined 24 playoff games and 2 of those wins were by the Texans against the Bengals.
My Falcons put up a good fight against Arizona in that wildcard round, but I didn't expect the Cardinals to put it on the Panthers like they did.
Probably made you feel better
delhomme was just 2000s kirk cousins
Yikes, what an awful memory on your 34th birthday for Delhomme.
No cake was consumed that night
I remember watching this game at my friends house and had DeAngelo Williams in a playoff fantasy league. I was honestly shocked AZ had killed them, even though I was living in AZ and surrounded by Cardinal fans at the time lol.
More like the Legend of playoff Delhomme. I knew he had a bad game but I forgot he threw 5 INTs in this game. My goodness.
Jakes performance reminded me of Eli Manning's performance against the Panthers in a wildcard game at the Meadowlands. It's like the defence were in the huddle with Eli that day, just as it seemed like they were in this game.
Carson Palmar 2015 what about me
I feel like the 2020 Cardinals roster is the BEST roster we've EVER had💯💯💯💯we are DEFINITELY Super Bowl contenders this season,legitimately,Larry STILL playin at this same amazing level,now you add HOPKINS!! AND you can't forget about Christian Kirk!! All I feel like we need is another really good corner across from Pat Pete && a more polished Tight End,maybe a few trades/signings at the O-Line and we gon be that much harder to beat come time for the Playoffs
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
Cam Newton more than returned the favor in 2015
Was there a particular reason that Warner stumbled a lot on handoffs/PA fakes?
i read somewhere that fitz has more tackles than drops in his career. he is a legend
One bad game can ruin a career. This is what happened to Jake Delhomme.
Proverbs 11:9
An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.
Proverbs 19:17
He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
They went on to lose to the STEELERS AHAHAHAHA
And your Steelers got obliterated at home by the Browns this year....those things happen.
The hyped game to a complete disaster
Panthers
Peppers Linebacker/DE (90)
Steve Smith WR (89)
D.Williams HB (34)
Stewart (28)
Cardinals
Kurt Warner QB (13)
Fitzgerald (11)
Boldin (81)
Docket (90)
Edgerrin James HB (32)
That double coverage catch @ 2:49. Vintage Fitz.
To me Larry Fitzgerald is the 2nd best ever (which isn't a diss because Rice was just an alien). Obviously didn't have the stats of Jerry Rice, but randy moss admittedly took some plays off, TO was drama, and Megatron didn't have his longevity. Plus he played with BUMS as qb for majority of his career and never complained. Larry will forever have my respect
The MVP for the Cards that day was Jake Delhomme.
Panthers played good game defensive game, car had more sacks and less penalties, less penalty yardage & both teams threw for nearly 200yds each but 1 team had 1turnover and car had 6turnovers all from Delhomme. Its a shame cuz Carolina was 3rd in NFL in rushing and had the great steve smith how finished 3rd in the NFL in receiving with only 14 games played.
3:54 0-5 in Eastern Time Zone. Got knocked around in Philly and New England
And people Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie had elite speed,length and put some of the best WRs in straight jackets 🔒!
I like how until that garbage time TD Delhomme had committed as many turnovers as his offense had scored points. Sweet Jesus, what a train wreck.
4:50 This was the pick that set the tone of the whole game
People have jake hell for this game but no Gave him hell more than himself. This wasn't all on him. It was a complete letdown after 1st quarter from everyone.
Let go cardinals
Completely forgot Edge James was the cardinals that year
Same
Gosh Panthers, we got our asses handed to us this game!
Uhhhh….I forgot the Cardinals used to be good with Warner, and then okay with Palmer lmaoooo
Hadn't lost a home game all season. Were coming off a biweek to a wildcard team that had been destroyed on the east coast consistently. How the hell did they lose?
