2003 NFC Championship Panthers vs Eagles Highlights (3 Ints by Ricky Manning).

[@Phillygoat1983]

This game made the Eagles grab T.O

[@tibora13]

I remember the rematch with carolina, Terrell Owens vs Ricky Manning. T.O. made Ricky Manning look like a toddler in that game.

[@robinhoodhustsle1356]

@@tibora13 it wasn’t really Ricky manning. It was the panthers pass rush making mcnabb antsy.

[@joshlight6892]

@@robinhoodhustsle1356 not really. Yeah McNabb was pressured all game, the Eagles O-Line was absolute shit in this game. But the interceptions weren't really the result of pressure, they were Trash and Stinkston getting outmuscled. On that last one to this day I have no idea how Thrash managed to knock that ball that far in the air to where the Panthers could gobble it up.

[@flames24lightning]

Still amazing to think that my Panthers could go from 1-15 to NFC Champions in just two years.

[@evanhullinger2900]

Got to give alot of credit to John Fox for turning around that team with a physical defense and a power running game. It was a great turnaround for what he did for them.

It should be a statue of Foster stretching across the goal line outside of the Panthers stadium..that was legendary

[@JahNuhThunDeeTheOneAndOnly]

These Eagles may have had a more complete team on paper, but the Panthers had playmakers at receiver and that made all the difference in this game!

[@joshlight6892]

Actually this Eagles team overachieved to get as far as they did. They had no real pass rush and couldn't stop the run. I don't even know how they did as good as they did. ND Kalu was their best pass rusher. People also forget Westbrook their best weapon was hurt for the playoffs, he could very well have made the difference.

[@neonbible08]

Didn’t help that mcnabb had his ribs broke on a late hit

[@jackcarraway4707]

I'm a Patriots fan and I actually groaned against Carolina winning. I was more intimidated by them than Philly.

[@MrEOM41]

We didn’t have TO this season ofcourse Panthers with Steve Smith Mario Manninham and that Running game would make them more intimidating

[@Pondscapes]

Let’s go Panthers!

[@Sephiroth766]

Eagles fans blame McNabb for this game and I won't say he played well in this game but at least 2 of those Int's were not his fault. He had no receivers and was pressured the whole game.

[@andy.philly9309]

Eagles couldn’t win 3 straight nfc championships because they had no big time weapons. Not going to win anything if your wr are Pinkston and James thrash. If we had T.O the eagles would’ve won at least 1 Super Bowl out of those 4 years

[@edwardfights4900]

@@andy.philly9309 Face it. Those teams just weren't any good.

[@edwardfights4900]

[@joshlight6892]

@@edwardfights4900 teams that aren't any good don't win 12 games. Yes those teams had holes that were always exploited in the end but acting like they were dreck is just silly. The 2004 squad was good enough to win it all but couldn't get out of their own way against the Pats, and the '04 Pats were one of the best teams in NFL history. and they still only lost by a FG.

[@BoosterGoldEarth6]

Not to mention the Patriots were cheating.

[@MrEOM41]

Wierd time to be an Eagles fan, like we knew we’d make it to the Nfc championship game but not confident about winning it… well atleast til the 2004-05 season.

[@fortynights1513]

Eagles were a pretty good team, but the NFC was rather down some of those years. In particular in 2004 when they made the Super Bowl and Philly and Atlanta both played 8-8 teams in the divisional round.

[@blainealexander5091]

[@joshlight6892]

How Greg Favors was not penalized for that hit on McNabb to this day still baffles me. He had clearly been down for two full seconds that was a dirty and unnecessary hit. Much as I couldn't stand the Patriots I'm glad the Panthers lost and have never won jack shit, I hope they never do because of this play alone.

[@FocusOnThisTV]

I literally lost my voice over that

[@xmmaddenhighlights3962]

No whistle was blown bro blame the officials not him Carolina was way too physical for the eagles.

[@joshlight6892]

@@xmmaddenhighlights3962 I blame both. It was a dirty hit. should have been suspended at not allowed to play in the Super Bowl.

[@xmmaddenhighlights3962]

@@joshlight6892 dayum maybe the eagles line should have protected the QB better 😂 Jake delhomme wasn't touched

[@joshlight6892]

@@xmmaddenhighlights3962 None of this is even close to the point. McNabb was down for a full two seconds. Yeah give that kind of time anyone can lay a hit on a QB lying on the ground. I guess you are saying once the play is over everyone is just fair game, endless brawls are okay. Lets just have an endless brawl everywhere on the field instead of a football game. But I must say, it worked out pretty good in the end. At least the Eagles have a ring now, and Carolina has two Super Bowl losses and is the joke of the NFL now. Karma does work sometimes.

[@Riles3152]

Anybody remember why McNabb didn't finish the game?

[@BoosterGoldEarth6]

Broken Ribs

[@easynscalebachmannlayoutsm3084]

This 2003 Eagles team fianlly got exposed in the NFC championship game, the receivers were DS all year and the front seven on defense was average at best they were very fortunate that they played in a weak NFC east that year.

[@evanhullinger2900]

Man did Cris Collinsworth really rub salt in the wounds of the Eagles in this game. It's no wonder why he's such an Eagle hater. One of the most biased and most hated commentator in our sport today.

[@jona_toro5282]

He really had guts to hate the Eagles, even when they finally won a SB

[@Phinal_Flash]

He sounded so disappointed when Brady's hail mary pass fell incomplete at the end of Super Bowl 52.

[@robinhoodhustsle1356]

He was so right about the bummy WRs everyone knew that what held the team back

[@stevenstocker7425]

Just like most of Philadelphia sports fans

[@joshlight6892]

Everyone on those old Bengals teams whether it was Solomon Wilcotts, Boomer Esiason, or Cris Collinsworth all had it in for the Eagles for some reason. Did something happen back then between the Bengals and Eagles I'm not aware? They weren't the victims of one of Buddy's bounty bowls were they?

[@joelarochelle5106]

These Eagles teams were such losers.

[@reallytho1943]

You could tell the panthers were out to hurt Mcnabb couldn’t tell you how many times I seen him get sacked and a panthers player come in and jump on him very aggressively, a lot of non roughing the passer calls , Mcnabb got hurt and panthers go to Super Bowl kinda like how purdy got hurt feel like eagles we’re supposed to win but Mcnabb being unable to play they switched script just like purdy last year #NFLScripted #NFLPredetermined

[@DumbAndDumberMC]

😂😂 ok suuuuuuure

[@joshlight6892]

Big difference. Purdy was hit while he was still standing, he got hit just the wrong way, Reddick clearly did nothing intentional. McNabb got hit by Favors after he was clearly down.

[@reallytho1943]

@@joshlight6892 there is a couple of times that happens especially in the first half and exactly purdy got his elbow hit mid throw Mcnabb was hit multiple times and then had others jumping and landing on him while he was already down whice he ended up breaking his ribss tried to play through it got more hurt 😞

@@joshlight6892 as for purdy I don’t think they intentionally hurt him like the panthers seemed to I just think the QBs getting hurted affected the originally planned outcome
