As for worst, a lot of people have mentioned the 2-14 and 1-15 seasons, tragedies like what happened to Darrell Stingley and Robert Edwards, and the like. While I agree that all that sucked, for me the worst moments were those were it looked like, finally, at long last we were about to taste success, only to not only be denied, but to be humiliated and embarrassed at the same time:
- The 1985 season when we first made the Super Bowl (who can forget "Squish the Fish", only to not only be absolutely run over on the field, but also to have the newspapers reporting about drug use by Patriots players within a few days of the season ending.
- Chuck Fairbanks accepting a different job while still coaching the Patriots (with a game left in the regular season IIRC) and then being fired with games still left to be played.
- Ben Dreith.
- Parcells negotiating with the Jets (how many phone calls to Hempstead, NY?) during the weeks before SB31, leaking the story to Will McDonough so that it became not only a distraction to him but to the whole team and the fans, then turning his back on the team after losing the game and not even flying home with his, er, THE team.
