Seattle Seahawks I seriously can't remember any real painful losses in the 70's or 80's because there were so few playoff games in that era and failure was the norm. The first Seahawks game i went to was 10/8/78 against the Vikings and Vikings won 28-29. I was a Vikings fan before the Seahawks were formed so I was conflicted in that one. Then the 90's were mostly just mediocrity. Worst Loss Experienced at the Stadium 11/6/2010. NYG 41 - SEA 7 It was 35-0 at halftime. Only Seahawks game I have left before the game was over Ugliest Game 10/23/2011 CLE 6 - SEA 3 Tavaris Jackson and Marshawn Lynch are out with injuries, so it's the Charlie Whitehurst Experience and the score reflects the ineptitude on offense. Most Painful 1/13/2013 ATL 30 - SEA 28 Divisional playoff game. Seahawks were down 20-0 at halftime, end up taking the lead by one with 30 seconds to go and Matt Ryan marches the Falcons down the field and they kick the game winning FG as time expires. Super Bowl XL 2/5/2006 PIT 21 - SEA 10 Bad play, bad calls, Jerramy Stevens, just a bad game all around.

This is the worst for me since it's the one I remember most vividly. It was early in the game but the Bengals were in full control. I'm pretty certain the play here was the 60 yard bomb to Chris Henry (RIP) on which he got hurt trying to catch the pass too. That team was ridiculous offensively that year and probably would've coasted to a SB win instead of the Steelers. Chad Johnson was still a legit burner WR, Chris Henry was catching anything thrown at him, Housh was ridiculous in the slot and Rudi Johnson had a 1500 yard season.

Obviously others have touched on some of the Bills greatest hits but this game I remember at the time just completely broke my mind. The Bills were playing the Jets and were pounding them with Marshawn Lynch all day. They had a 3 point lead and it was the two minute warning. So the idea would be to run maybe pick up the first down or at worst bleed clock and punt. Instead of doing that Dick Jauron (one of the most boring human beings to ever live) was seized suddenly by mania and overruled his Offensive coordinator and ran some like naked bootleg with JP Losman. When the ball was snapped it was like loving bats flew out of the screen. The Jets blew that play to Kingdom come. They destroyed Losman and the ball pops out and the Jets are batting it around like a seal with a beach ball and run it in for a touchdown. imagine watching this in real time It was almost like a precursor to the buttfumble. I just remember having tunnel vision I was so angry and I think the reason I was so angry was because I think the play call struck me as historically bad. I would love to hire a lich to dig up Dick Jauron so I could have him explain what kind of demons were inside his mind at the time. Edit: forgot to mention: It was Second and 5 with under two minutes!!! poo poo was even worse than I remembered pasaluki fucked around with this message at 07:33 on Jan 22, 2015 |

He got hurt making the longest reception in Marvin's playoff history, on the first offensive snap by the Bengals. And Larry Foote danced on the field when he saw the injuries. I would probably spit on that guy if I ever saw him, it remains the shittiest thing I've ever seen on a football field.

Seeing the Patriots mentioned so frequently in here makes me realize that if I supported an AFC team there's no way in hell I'd be cheering for the Pats in a week Edit: As an Eagles fan, I'm pretty well covered in this thread already. The NFCCG losses are one massive high school-length blur of sadness and angst to me (Joe Jurevicius is still running, that fucker), and theoretically I should hate the Patriots forever for costing us our only legitimate chance at a Super Bowl in the foreseeable future, but I guess I'm just wired oddly because to me no Eagles loss — unexpected, playoff-related, whatever — is ever as bad as their most recent loss to either the Giants or Cowboys.

NY Giants: 1. 2003 Wild Card vs 49ers. Niners score 25 unanswered points to win 39-38, but the real heartbreaker was a really obvious non-pass interference call on the final play, which was a bad snap broken field goal attempt by the Giants to win with no time remaining. The NFL acknowledged that the no-call PI should have offset an ineligible receiver downfield and the Giants should have gotten one more try at the FG. gently caress those refs, gently caress TO for being good, gently caress Jim Fassel for being bad, and gently caress the whole team (but in particular Shaun Williams) for not being able to keep cool. They gifted the Niners several personal foul penalties because of their frustration and it added to the meltdown. 2. Super Bowl 35 vs Ravens 3. Miracle at the New Meadowlands I'm not old enough to remember the first Miracle at the Meadowlands and I'm extremely thankful for it.

Rogue Elephant posted:NY Giants: That '78 team was god awful and it was just one more bad loss in a season full of them where the Giants got their teeth kicked in. The only reason the game is memorable is -- yes -- the terrible fumble and the subsequent popularization of the "victory" formation, but it was also the nadir to 15 odd years of the Giants sucking. The next game was the season ticket parking lot bonfire and the "15 Years of Lousy Football — We've Had Enough." airplane banner flown over the stadium a few weeks later. The game wasn't so important that the Eagles won, but how they won and it became the straw that broke the camels back situation.

dolphins of miami The first one that came to mind was the shellacking by Jacksonville in Dan Marino's last game which is really just the dividing line between a phenomenally successful era for the Dolphins and a phenomenally terrible one. It was bad. The loss to the Patriots in the AFC Championship (1985? It was the year the Bears went to the Super Bowl and crushed the Patriots) was probably awful but I wasn't alive for it so I wouldn't know. The Dolphins never really got any closer than that ever again (well, 1992, but the Dolphins got wrecked in that game and the Pats loss was a pretty big upset, so w/e). The game the Dolphins blew against the Colts where the Dolphins had like a 3:1 time of possession advantage on them sucked especially because it added to the legend of Peyton Manning and loving ay do I get tired of that poo poo. There was also the loss to the Texans in 2003 which was kind of embarrassing I guess. Missing out on the playoffs after starting 9-5 was pretty awful but that wasn't one specific game. The Dolphins seem to be content failing in slow motion

That's fair, but when it comes to blowing something spectacularly, Week 17 vs. the Packers w/ Conte's blown coverage absolutely takes the cake. loving three fourth down conversions on the last drive, goddammit.

Seattle Seahawks A few posters have put in some suggestions. The top 3 are pretty unanimous and a few good options otherwise but trying to stick with "worst losses". 1. Super Bowl XL - vs Pittsburgh - Feb 05,2006 2. "We want the ball & we're going to score" - NFC WC, @ Green Bay, Jan 4, 2004 3. Mishap in the Meadowlands, - Dec 06,1998, @ NYJ, L 31-32 -------------------------------------- 4. 2006 Divisional Round @ Chicago, L 27-24 OT. The end of Shaun Alexander - couldn't convert 3rd & 1 nor 4th & 1 in the late 4th quarter near CHI 40 yard line and then Hasselbeck sacked at the CHI 45 as time ran out in regulation. 5. 1988 AFC Wild Card Game @ Houston, L 23-20 OT. First Seahawks playoff game I can remember. Failure to Moon & the Oilers. Felt like a great accomplishment to make playoffs for once but fitting to come out as another 80s-90s failure. Other notables by me or mentioned earlier: * 2004 - losing 3 times to the Rams, 1 game noted being previously up by 17 in the 4th at home and losing in ot. The playoff game ended at the STL 5 with a loss of downs. * 2012 Divisional Round vs ATL, yes Seahawks came back and then let ATL come back after that. It was draining but helped build the character for what was to come for the next seasons. * 6-3 Loss to Cleveland was an ugly game. No emotional ties to it. Part of a 7-9 season in 2011. * BO vs Boz game was another hyped game. Didn't mean much in the long term.

Surprise no Giants fans posted the Flipper Anderson playoff game. A bad PI call then Flipper catches one and runs out of the end zone and into the tunnel under the Meadowlands. Gut punch right there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3g1a4xo1DY Also: Matt Dodge. Serves us right for wasting a draft pick on a punter.
