this isnt even in my top 10. They've won me 3 Super Bowls. the losses that occurred when I wondered if we'd ever win one hurt much, much more.
id rank them
Game 6 1986
Bruins, too many men on the ice, 1979
Roughing the passer, 1976
Pedro game 2003 ( although the Patriots OT win at Miami just days later saved us a long winter of pain, in fact the Patriots never lost again and won a Super Bowl. HOW can we not love a team like THAT)
Not sure if this even makes my top ten, we were competitive up to the last drive and really believed they would win, for me the trampling by the Bears in the SB was the worse along with the '96 Parcellian exit loss in that SB. There are too many great memories in this run, I know we will be back and will look different in the future.. we will also look better.
For football, I'd have to say Oakland in 78 was worse. I believe Oakland had been 13-1 and the one loss was when they were destroyed by the Pats.
I can't say the SB losses, because we were big underdogs in both cases.
The loss to the Steelers 7-6 was really bad -- the 7 came from a 40 yard run by Kordell, when Collins pulled up because he did not want to be flagged for hitting out of bounds. Pats were missing Martin, Glenn, and the TE and could not move the ball. I thought Pete Carroll had that defense in better shape than the SB team the year before.
What about the loss to the Jets at home in 2002 that knocked us out of the playoffs?
I'd say Oakland, Colts, Steelers.
Didnt anyone say BILL BUCKNER........
But, sunday's game will forever be burnt in my memory...As the worst, the most painful, and the one that we let get away that never should have been.
Not even close for me. This team made it further than it should have, further than it did last year. I looked upon this year as a "rebuilder" and loved the ride.
1. '86. Nuff Said.
2. AAron Boone
I was too young to remember Buckner, so it's only competition is the 03 ALCS.
This one will sting for a while.
