All three of those are on my list of horrible Dolphins losses too, but another set of three that haunt me includes:

01/02/1982 - Chargers 41 Dolphins 38 OT - Greatest game ever played and toughest loss to take; Winslow killed us

Superbowl 17 - Skins 27 Dolphins 17

Superbowl 19 - 49ers 38 Dolphins 16 - Marino loses only Superbowl game appearance

Not to make you feel old, but I was born 7 months after the super bowl loss to the 49ers. I picked games that I could remember!

As a packer fan I would have rather lost in regulation to a field goal than in OT the way we did. 2 no calls on the final play (roughing the passer hands to the face, and facemask penalty) is annoying but we missed our shot on the first play of OT, so it is what it is. Not the toughest loss but makes you angry when everyone sees something the refs missed. The packers had a good season and i cant be too upset. We have a young nucleus and a top 5 QB, so I expect many great seasons to come.

As a Fins fan many come to mind, but my top three have to be........

1. Miracle at the Meadowlands 2001. Fins up big time in the 4th Quarter and blow the lead. The Jets took it into overtime and won!

2. 1994 Divisional Playoff game. Dolphins lost to San Diego 22-21

3. Dan Marino's last game. Losing the Jacksonville in the playoffs, Final score 62-7!

All three of those are on my list of horrible Dolphins losses too, but another set of three that haunt me includes:

01/02/1982 - Chargers 41 Dolphins 38 OT - Greatest game ever played and toughest loss to take; Winslow killed us

Superbowl 17 - Skins 27 Dolphins 17

The Vikings have historically had a lot of PostSeason misfortunes. I'm wondering if this year will be the same !

It wouldn't surprise me at all. The Vikes have a recent history of starting off like a gridiron wrecking machine and going in the tank one they've made the playoffs. I expect more of the same in the weeks ahead.

Packer fans here also

2004 NFC divisional playoff game vs Eagles....

The season seemed like it was meant to be.
1.Favre's dad passed away.
2.A few days later my dad (a HUGE Packers fan) passed away.
3.The Packers squeak into the playoffs as Josh McNown leads the Cards back to an improbable win in the last few seconds to knock out the Vikings (greatest radio call in history...can hear the pain in the Vikings announcers voice)
1st round
4.Pack beat Seahawks in OT as Al Harris tells Matt "We want the ball and we're going to score " Hasselbeck to s*ck it by taking back his pass for the winning TD.
Divisional round.
5.Pack are up a FG with time running out. McNabb converts a 4th & 26 do or die pass down the middle of the field to continue the drive and tie the score.
in OT Favre throws a "no look" pass 40 yrds down field with no WR in sight. Dawkins intercepts it over his shoulder like a punt.
Eagles kick FG to win.
Only time I've ever cried after a game.

The Minnesota Vikings have never recovered or been the same since this horrible loss (see photo below of Gary Anderson missing his only field goal all season--if he had made it, the Vikings would have gone to the Super Bowl):

January 17, 1999
NFC: Atlanta Falcons 30, Minnesota Vikings 27 (OT)

Since we're talkin football here, the worst or saddest game in my memory was the Bears loss to the Redskins in the first round of the playoffs in 1987. The loss was essentially the end of that dominant team although they did manage to get killed again in the playoffs in 1988 to the Niners.

The saddest moment of that game was seeing the greatest football player I ever saw finishing his career alone and in tears on the bench as the clock ran out.

Ah, yes ! A very painful loss. Sweetness' last game, and the second straight year losing to the Redskins in the first round of the Playoffs. I remember the sadness after that game, and that picture of walter on the bench with his head in his hands.

Packers at Eagles 12/5/2004 47-17 Eagles

My first ever Packer game and worst game experience I went to. I was hassled by Eagles fans (who are the worst fans ever after my experience), had front row seats and left early it was brutal.

Being a Steelers fan, I have suffered through numerous losses which include:

1) 1994 AFC Championship Game against Chargers where they lost 17-13....3 more yards game.
2) Super Bowl XXX against Dallas Cowboys where they lost 27-17 and O'Donnell through the interceptions to Larry Brown
3) 1997 AFC Championship against Denver
4) 2001 AFC Championship against New England
5) 2004 AFC Championship against New England where they went 15-1 (New England went 14-2).

Numbers 1 and 4 on this list were toughest for me. I really thought the Steelers were going to go to Super Bowl XXIX against the 49ers (and lose), and I really thought the 2001 Steelers would have faced the Rams. In 2001, I thought the Steelers might win the Super Bowl as well.
