#4) Vs the Patriots in the AFC CG in 2004 (in retrospect it's fine of course with '05 and '08 and '10, but man the Steelers can't beat the Pats in the playoffs since the mid-90s)

Losing the Super Bowl to the Packers was a let down but Rodgers is cool and it'd be silly to care too much about it after all the recent success.

I'm waiting to see a Bills fan post. Which of the four sb losses was the worst? The 1st, because it was the closest? The 4th, because it kept on building up each year after year? Or maybe peak sadness was achieved by the time they lost the 3rd, and had no feeling left by the time they lost number 4.

So many questions!

The wild-card loss is pretty high up there, also like the two or three Thanksgiving losses before Detroit finally won one a couple years ago. And the Week 17 game @ Lambeau in 2011 where Matt Flynn torched Detroit and Titus Young was robbed of the game-winning TD, thus beginning his descent to madness.

I'd probably have an easier time narrowing down the five best Lions wins than choosing the five worst losses.

1. BEN ROETHLISBERGER IS AN ENEMY OF PEACE, JUSTICE, AND THE AMERICAN WAY.

Nothing will ever compare to that, but the 2006 Bears game was pretty loving bad. I mean, Dennis Green probably thought it was the worst loss of his career.

quote:

The Bears are what we thought they were. They're what we thought they were. We played them in preseason—who the hell takes a third game of the preseason like it's bullshit? Bullshit! We played them in the third game—everybody played three quarters—the Bears are who we thought they were! That's why we took the drat field. Now if you want to crown them, then crown their rear end! But they are who we thought they were! And we let 'em off the hook!
The Cards were bad for most of my life so most of the games were losses. I mean, they've reached the playoffs four times in my lifetime, it's not like the stock of heartbreaking losses is very big.

Oh, and the Texans, since my heart is really in Houston. Though I didn't really care about them until 2008. But then again, neither did anyone else!

3. Anything in the "Schaub just can't stop throwing pick sixes what the gently caress is happening" month. Holy poo poo that was bad.

2. 2006, one of the best Ravens teams to take the field hold Peyton to zero touchdowns and lose the game because the offense and zombie McNair die.

5.Loss of Gronk for 2012 - I'm pretty convinced this cost the Pats the Superbowl.
4.Superbowl 46 - I wasn't really as convinced this was our year. The team was pretty beat up going into the playoffs and was pretty lucky to make it to the Superbowl. Gronk was hurt and their receiving options outside of Welker / Hernandez were limited.
3. 2010 Afc Divisional v Jets - This team was better than the 2011 version on both sides of the ball. The team had so much momentum, and of all teams to lose it all again, the Jets...ugh. They were healthy too.
2. 2006 AFCCG - Honestly this might even be number 1 for me. I didn't even talk to people for a few days. gently caress that game. Makes me wish we put up 100 on the Colts today.

Baltimore Ravens

1. 2011 AFC Championship Game: Billy Cundiff just got fired but I'm pretty sure Bisciotti had Lee Evans secretly killed

2. 2010 Ravens@Steelers Divisional Game: Looked great all year and we somehow lost despite being up 14 at the half.

3. 2010 Steelers@Ravens: Ravens controlled the whole game up until the final five minutes, Polomalu strip sacks Flacco for a TD. This game led directly to us having to go to Pittsburgh for the divisional game a month later. I was at this game, it was my birthday :(

4. 2008 AFC Championship Game: Sure Flacco was a rookie and it was fun just to be there but Pittsburgh feasting on our misery on the way to a Super Bowl win sucked, especially when we would have shithoused the Cardinals.

5. 2006 Divisional Game: Should have been Ravens/Chargers for the AFCC but recently released Baltimore hero Matt Stover kills us as a relief kicker when the best Ravens team ever loses again to Indy with Peyton throwing zero TDs.

6. 07 MNF Pats@Ravens: Would have ended the New England undefeated bid in its tracks if it weren't Rex Ryan taking a loving timeout.

7. 03 Wildcard Titans@Ravens: Close loss to the Titans when Ravens/Titans was the roughest rivalry in the land. Maybe it was because it was the first playoff game in a while or because I was still young but this poo poo really hurt.

posting in this thread as a Steelers fan seems wrong, but the game that made me the most mad of all time was the divisional playoff loss against Tenessee, which featured the Titans getting a total BS roughing the kicker call on a missed FG in overtime, giving them another chance to kick the FG and win.

Aw hunny, these came out GREAT!
1.) 2006 AFC Divisional game against the Patriots. Chargers are 14-2, top seed in the AFC, hosting an inferior Patriots team. LaDainian Tomlinson, reigning MVP and Rushing champion runs all over the Patriots in the first half. Chargers have a two score lead with under five minutes to go, Patriots ball. Tom Brady throws an interception to Marlon McCree. All he has to do is bat it down or fall down, and the Chargers all but win the game. Instead he tries to run it back, gets stripped by Troy Brown, the Patriots recover, and suddenly have a first down because of the change of possession. New England drives down to score, then the Chargers go three and out, the Pats get the ball again, and win the game. The Patriots do the Lights Out dance in the middle of the field, LdT flips out, and within two weeks, the Chargers have lost their OC, DC, and fired their head coach, replacing Marty Schottenheimer with Norv Turner. It is the worst loss I've ever sat through and being there in person was the icing on the poo poo cake. Ugh.

2.) 2012 regular season, Broncos at Chargers. Peyton's first trip to San Diego as a member of the Broncos. The Chargers go up quick, and take a 24-3 halftime lead. Rivers then proceeds to have a complete and utter meltdown in the second half, throwing three interceptions and losing a fumble, as Denver scores 31 unanswered points and the Chargers lose 35-24.

3.) 2007 AFC Championship game against the Patriots. I expected us to lose this one, but it was a classic case of "If we would have been healthy". The Chargers make the playoffs as the three seed and host the Titans in the wild card round. After a hard-fought defensive game, they get their first playoff win since 1995, but at the cost of Antonio Gates getting his foot hurt (gently caress you Jeff Fisher). The Chargers then travel to Indianapolis as heavy underdogs to take on Peyton Manning. By halftime, both Philip Rivers and LaDainian Tomlinson are out, leaving the game in the hands of the backup QB and backup RB, Billy Volek and Michael Turner, to hold onto a lead. Well, they give up the lead rather quickly as Peyton did what Peyton does, but then Volek gathers the team together and marches down the field, running in the game winning touchdown himself and propelling the Chargers to the AFC Title game in New England. The Chargers are a MASH unit at this point. Tomlinson has two strained MCLs, Gates has a torn plantar fascia in his foot, Philip Rivers is playing with a torn ACL, Nate Kaeding has a broken plant leg. The Chargers go into the game against the undefeated Patriots and lose 21-12. It was a deflating end to the year.

4.) 2008 regular season game at Denver, also known as the "Dear Ed GUNS Hoculi" game. The Chargers are leading late in the fourth quarter while Denver is driving down to try and tie the game. Shaun Phillips gets around the tackle and hits Cutler from behind, causing him to lose the ball. Hochuli blows the play dead as an incomplete pass, even though it was a clear fumble and clear recovery by the Chargers, which would end the game. Because the play was ruled dead, the broncos retain possession. The Broncos then score the touchdown, and to cap it off, go for the two point conversion, get it, and win the game by a point. Then I write a letter.

5.) 2009 AFC Divisional playoff game against the Jets. The Chargers were the 2 seed in the playoffs, 13-3 in the regular season, and hosting Mark Sanchez and the Jets. The Chargers proceeded to play their worst game of the year, Rivers was off, Tomlinson had like 24 yards on the ground, and Nate Kaeding missed three chip shot field goals. The Chargers would lose to Mark Sanchez and Shonn Greene, 17-14.

Thanks for making me re-live my horrible team, OP

3- 2005 season loss to the Seahawks in the NFC championship
It sucked but the Seahawks were at home and the fans were getting so loud they couldn't even tee up the ball a kickoff a couple of times. It was really hard to imagine winning in that environment with the team we had.

2- 2003 Super Bowl vs. Patriots
Two great teams matched up in a great game that had absolutely everything you could want in a football game. Came down to a few key plays that ended up deciding it all. Still, it isn't the worst because it was at least a great game, one that many consider one of the best super bowls ever. Hard to feel AS bad about that, especially when compared to...

1- 2008 Divisional Rd Vs. the Cardinals
Holy poo poo, this game was just the absolute worst. We were the number 2 seed in the NFC and we had just played the giants, the number one seed, 2 weeks prior and matched up really well. The Panthers were supposed to roll over the Cardinals and they easily could have. Instead of leaning on the best running game in the league, Fox freaked out and had Jake go pass happy resulting in the worst birthday I think anyone's ever had. Kurt Warner and the Cards' offense took advantage of a gassed defense that didn't get to stay off of the field because Jake kept throwing picks and Fox kept doubling down. I can't remember anything more crushing in our history. At least with the super bowl you can look back and say it was a great game. With this game there was no positive to take out of it at all.

The Chargers in 2009 losing to the Jets, with the 06 loss against New England being a close second. Nothing else really compares to those two.

In 09 the Chargers weren't as good of a team as the 06 squad was and had injury problems, but from about week 7-onward they went on such a run that I felt like that team could go up against anybody and win that year. The running game really sucked that season due to a bad right side and Tomlinson being worn down, but Rivers and the receivers really carried them against some of the better defenses in the league that year. Then the Jets game happened and Nate Kaeding booted the game right out of the stadium. No, he wasn't the ONLY reason why they lost but when the kicker misses three FGs and then the team loses by THREE points, he deserves some blame.

06 was realistically their best chance to win a title but 09 feels worse to me. I think it's because it was Tomlinson's last real chance at getting a ring with San Diego.
