It's easy, and only takes a few moments.There's also that MNF game in the pouring rain against the Colts, when they ran back a kickoff to win the game - I think it was 1977 or 78. There were a ton of arrests, and there had been problems the year before ( I think a Jets game?) with a MNF game too. The town of Foxborough decided to ban MNF games and that stayed in effect for 10 or 15 years.
SNF game vs the Jets in 2002 that the pats lost
another one is the 03 opener in buffalo.
another bad one was SNF against the colts in 06

That was the Joe Washington game. I think he returned a punt and a kickoff for TDs as well as run for another. It was pouring, water was puddling all over the turf.....it was an ugly game.
We left angry and drunk.
Do you mean 1997?!?for me it was December 2007. The Patriots had worked their way back from 6-5 and were at 9-5 when the Steelers came to town. A win and the Patriots would clinch the #2 seed for the 2nd straight year, not a bad accomplishment for Pete Carroll in his 1st year replacing the immortal Bill Parcells.
The Patriots had it won. They led 21-13, less than 2 minutes remaining and with the ball at midfield. How nice 10-5 would be, the magic of 1996 was back.
Then...for reasons known only to God himself, Drew Bledsoe decides to throw it to a linebacker.......
the rest is history. we lose in OT. finish at #3. lose 7-6 at Pittsburgh when Hall of Famer gets the ball stripped by Vrabel.
That was my worst regular season loss as a Patriots fan because it was such a waste, and so stupid.
Any more nominations?
