To each his own, but I feel that this is a positive thread as I was immediately over the loss on Sunday with it ranking 10 out of 11 on my list. And we are very privileged to only have 11 playoff losses in twenty years. The Bills have two in twenty years with zero wins!
I was at the 05, 06, 07, 11, 13, 17 games on your list.
The Broncos loss in 05 was the end of the "win every big game" era. Jerome Bettis was going to quit football without a ring in 04 after the Pats beat them, but Charlie Weis told him that he ought to consider giving it 1 more season.Bruschi had his stroke later on.
The Colts 06 loss was a missed Super Bowl win because the Pats would have annihilated the Lovie Smith/Rex Grossman Bears in Miami. It was 90 degrees in that Dome heat full blast. The previous week the Pats narrowly beat Marty Schottenheimer's 14 -2 Chargers. The lights out game. Troy Brown broke up and interception that would have likely sealed the Chargers win. Nick Kaeding missed a FG and time ran out. I was at that game too.
The 07 Giants loss. I had placed a Super Bowl bet in Vegas on NE and I was minutes away from holding a winner of a ticket. I was going to drive across the Hoover Dam (first time) and on to Vegas and then home. Instead, I got caught in a snow and ice storm through NM and the panhandle of TX. Long miserable trip home.
The 11 Giants loss made me wonder if Brady had lost it. Gronk got hurt the game prior vs the Ravens. Right from the get go intentional grounding set the tone for a bad day.
The 13 Broncos loss was similar to the 19 team. Brady had no WRs. Slater was out there playing WR to show how thin the Pats were. Im not one to back down from a fight, but the Seahawks would have likely destroyed that Pats team. Not as bad as the Broncos, but still a resounding loss.
The 17 Eagles loss may as well been at the North Pole. What a dumb spot for a Super Bowl. I could not get a ticket in my price limit. I wound up watching the game at a bar with Snoop Dogs body guards.
