Love him or hate him Steve Smith was one of the best, tough old school receivers of all-time.

Nfl should have a TV channel that shows throwback games

That Keenan McCardell catch was damn incredible

"They can take they ass back to Tampa"-Steve Smith 😂😂😂

Im a simple man; i see a new nfl throwback video, pre-2012, i click like

I wish they would let teams play and be this physical

This was the game that officially solidified the Bucs-Panthers rivalry. We have to remember that, not two years earlier, both teams were in different divisions (Tampa in the NFC Central and Carolina in the NFC West). In 2002, when the league realigned, the Bucs won the Super Bowl, but their primary division rival that year was Atlanta with Michael Vick's electric play. Then in Week 2 of 2003, the Panthers shock the Bucs in their home opener after the Bucs missed an extra point at the end of regulation that would've won the game. Flash forward eight weeks later and we get this gem of a game, and the two teams have hated each other ever since.

I don’t know what was more obnoxious and peak Fox: the laser blast sound every snap or the booth of “Mitchell”-era Joe Buck, along with both Aikman AND Collinsworth

As a Panthers fan, this is just sweet to see great game 👌

I met Ricky Proehl three years ago at a flag football tournament. Real nice guy. Signed my Rams football for me

This channel's great. Completely debunks everyone who says "bandwagon." Carolina was nice from '03-'05 with Jake Delhomme. I went to school with Dan Morgan at JP Taravella in Coral Springs,Florida. He was our rb and played for the U as a linebacker where he played the same position for Carolina. Great rivalry for both teams.

This was the biggest game in Carolina since 96 playoffs. Playoff atmosphere.

Some more ideas for this week: Colts-Titans 2003 week 14 (the two co MVPs) Chiefs-Raiders: 1999 season finale, 2005 week 9 (Larry Johnson last second TD) Cowboys-Redskins 2012 (either game)

This was when both teams were very good.

I met Keenan McCardell at target in Ashburn, VA when he was a WR coach. He was a gracious super nice guy.

This was a gem of a game I don't even remember existing at the time. Thanks for the upload.

Steve Smith so underated he was a nightmare on that field my 🐐💯

Thank you so much for this; very nostalgic. I must've been in 2nd grade when this game was played.

And Julius Peppers is STILL dominating

That was a damn good Panthers team.

Wow! I was 21 in the Navy when I watched this game.

Saints didn’t make a smart decision by starting Aaron Brooks over Jake Delhomme in the early 2000’s and Jake really proved his worth this season.

Lol. At around 1:57, they show Steve Smith's stats. That wasn't even him in the picture.

The Throw, The Catch, The Touchdown, The Steve Smith Sr.

Holy fucking shit, I have been trying to find this game for years. Thank you thank you THANK YOU.

This was the game I knew Carolina was legit...and the champion Bucs were in deep deep trouble.

This was legit the last stand of the SB era Bucs

Damn I totally forgot about how underrated mushin Mohammad was

Panthers were tough physical team that season. Softened up in the Superbowl

This was a really good NFC South matchup. You don't really see those nowadays.

Daylight come AND YOU GOTTA DELHOMME

Even as a saints fan I love this

Got to love this,I miss this

Man I miss Jake and Smitty :(

Only god was watching the Tampa Bay Buccaneers wear their white uniforms and pewter pants and played an NFL game with the eventual Super Bowl 38 runner-up, the Carolina Panthers in Week 10 of the 2003 NFL season.

Early 2000s NFL was the best

I completely forgot about John Kasay. Out of all the legends on the field Peppers was the last to retire.

The Colts comeback was something but this was probably the end of the legendary Bucs defense they got torched this game. They were a good defense for a few years after but never were they the same as the 2002 team.

good physical, rough game. great era of the NFL.

It's Raider week. Do the '97 Gerbac to Risen MNF game.

@13:56...this catch does not get enough love! McCardell was a great receiver, one of the most underrated of all-time!

Back when the nfl was smashmouth style!!

seems like yesterday, loved that Panther team!!

Please please please upload more games from the Panthers 2003 season!! @NFL Throwback

Nobody can bored an exciting game better than Nasally Joe Buck.

ice up son

I absolutely love Cam Newton, but Jake Delhomme, man, he was my favorite Panthers QB of all time. Jake wasn’t better than Cam, but dammit if the 2003 Panthers (11-5) face the 2015 Panthers(15-1), the 2003 Panthers would win. My fellow Panther fans know what I mean.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers-🏈 AFC West (1976) NFC Central (1977 - 2001) NFC South (2002 - present) Carolina Panthers-🏈 NFC West (1995 - 2001) NFC South (2002 - present)

This was my son's first NFL game. He loved it!

Packers vs Vikings underrated matches.

Recommend doing one for Panthers-Saints shootout in NO in 2015. That was a fun one to watch.

The NFC champs panthers, playing against the super bowl champs, bucs. This was a good game. Panthers went to super bowl this year but lost a good one

Wow. The refs screwed Tampa Bay on several calls. At least 2 roughing/personal fouls uncalled, defensive holding, and that catch by Keyshawn Johnson was a catch.

1:58 that ain't Steve Smith's picture.

2003 Was A Good Year For Football

Despite the fact we won, Delhomme looked absolutely awful. Overthrew Steve Smith and got picked off which was returned for a pick six, and then after Tampa just got a score, he threw yet ANOTHER pick. Glad enough to say that the defense and the rest of the offense bailed him out

At 1:59 they’re showing Steve smith stats but they put someone else’s picture lol

Delhomme was so so so bad . Noodle arm , no internal clock, no awareness Of pressure and terrible in clutch situations 😂

These teams were mighty chippy in this one.

God I keep having to remind myself the bucs won a superbowl, it almost feels like a blip in their history, like 0-26 to start, a lot of wasted years wearing orange, an all time great defense wins a championship, then right back to irrelevance

1:58 Mannnn that ain't Steve Smith.... Jesus Christmas son.

I was at this game shit was crazy fans fighting in the stands there was pure hatred from the field to the stands

Mike “After Dinner” Minter

Commentator, 15:20: "Forced to do what he doesn't do well." Jake: Watch this bruh.

Panthers were a scary team to play. I knew if Tampa was going to get a victory, they had to have a great offensive game plan helped out with many lucky breaks and the Panthers offense had to throw 2+ Interceptions, several big mistakes(not blocking a pass rusher for an easy sack, possible big runs ruined by running backs tripping over their own players receivers dropping easy deep balls, receivers running wrong routes. ,and multiple fumbles. When the Panthers offense and defense were playing at their best, tampa bay need to be flawless and many miracles

Even tho i'm a Bucs diehard, I respected the hell outta those '03 Panthers.

Anyone else notice @ 2:00 that's not a picture of steve smith..?

Joe Buck: And now Delhomme is forced to do what he doesn’t do well. Delhomme: leads a game winning drive against defending champs.

Ricky Proehl Shampoo with some big receptions. The Tampa Bay defense looked weaker than the one that dominated in the playoffs the year before.

This was when teams hated each other now teams are too nice this was hard nose football baby

when football was football

Ahhh, the fall of the champs. from a super bowl to 7-9. egos were very high on this team, too many kept trying to get on sportscenter instead of the proper play.

saw this game with pops

As a long time Bucs fan those were the good ol' days of Buc ball. Carolina at that time was a very good team. Steve Smith was a monster! Peppers too!

At 2:00 that is not Smith lol

Steve Smith is a absolute beast out there...#HOF

Anyone else notice they had the wrong picture for Steve Smith? 😂

I was 4 years old when I watched this game. Was anyone younger?

was this the game that Sap was dancing before the panthers started that game winning drive?

Ah...I remember this game. I was happy when the Carolina won because this was on my birthday week of Nov.14th!!! I hated Tampa Bay! #Goodtimes

Is there another Steve Smith that I don’t know about?

Charlotte was a much more beautiful place during that time ... The energy was incredible;)

1:59 that don’t look like Steve Smith at all

We almost had a reverse 5th down situation at 15:35. Also, this game very well summarizes the entire season of the 2003 Buccaneers.

Daylight come and you gotta Delhomme!

They always say the 4th quarter is the best

Gruden really wasted the defensive talent of that team. Defense kept them a lot of games just like the Dungy Era. If only Dungy had Keenan AND Keyshawn in Buc Ball

Damn, they couldn't even bother to get the right picture up for Smith at 1:59

Both teams were good in 03 im just suprised the Bucs didnt repeat as sb champs with the loaded squad they had.

this was true smashmouth football !

What a great game Go Panthers

That catch doesn’t get brought enough

So are we gonna ignore how that is NOT Steve Smith at 1:59?

1:59 idk who that man is but it is not steve smith

I still got smoke for Kasay for that SB😒

Anyone else hear the screaming fan at 5:16? Lol

Did Cris Collinsworth call Jake Delhomme “The Snake”?

Overall delhomme wasn’t really good he was average maybe above average but in the 4th quarter he was pretty clutch I believe he led every qb this yr with 4th quarter cbs

Also where’s Cam Newton?

We’ve owned Tampa and still do
