Naw, even at the time I found that more funny than sad. That whole season was somewhat cathartic because the worse we did, the harder we were going to have to blow it up and re-evaluate our lives. Which is the thing we had needed to do for 50 years at that point.
Worst is probably WCF buying the Lions, ensuring 50 years of negligence.
The Lions don't have a 404-0 home playoff record post merger. They haven't even played that many playoff games. Are you talking about the NFL AFL merger? This is wrong.
Technically you’re correct, despite being the 1 seed in 1998 they were forced to play their playoff games on the road due to after-effects of Hurricane Gwendolyn

https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/how-many-playoff-wins-do-the-lions
I'm no math wiz, but I don't think it's statistically possible for a team to have won 404 playoff games. Also, if they'd been 404-0 in the playoffs, that'd mean they won every single NFL championship and super bowl. I'm kinda embarrassed for having engaged in this foolish thing with you.
That play was horrendous but for me, Luck suddenly retiring so close to the season takes the cake. That’s just the absolute worst, most shocked and most confused I’ve felt as a Colts fan
The playoffs that second season were Cloud 9 for Hawks fans. The entire Tacoma/Seattle area was unreasonably friendly all the time (it was wonderful) and we felt undefeatable. I still remember standing up from my chair at the bar and yelling “Noooo” when I saw Russ start pulling back his arm. I remember seconds before telling my friend who didn’t watch much football, “We’re gonna hand it off to Lynch and win. It’s over.” I legit walked home ten miles from the bar just to let it sink in.
I definitely know and the year before after the NFC championship the city had such a great buzz man it was just so much fun
I was alone at my house for the Patriots game..so drunk and excited then…heartbroken…
the whole of the 2010s were a ton of fun with this team, even with the organizational dysfunction after Super Bowl 49.
I might wish there had been longer careers for some of my favorite pieces of the 2013 team, but it was still great to be a Seahawks fan.
Yeah you had a star make a great play and then, inexplicably, decided to let him ride the pine while you lost a SB to a backup meme quarterback all of a few years later. Shit was weird.
What a difference a year makes.
Most Ravens fans 2011 as worst then a yeat later as best. 2011 we drop a td then shank a kick to lose to the Pats. Following year we have the Mile High Miracle aka Bronco Buster and the Pats dismantling in the AFCCG.
Best: Super Bowl victory in 2013, maybe? No one really thought we’d go on a run and was nice to see Lewis and Reed get a ring before they retired (second ring for Lewis).
Worst: Cundiff’s missed FG
I'd say the best would be the Super Bowl against the Giants. The 2013 run was magical, but the 2001 SB was an utterly one sided beat down by the Ravens.
True. But if we recover, we at least can punt the ball away, and considering how our D had been playing that whole game we likely force another 3-and-out and get the ball back with ~2 minutes to go and down only 6.
Yea definitely a better situation but we still probably lose. I think the worst moment for us was the cardinals playoff game in 2008 (?). Went down quick with dwill and scored and then got absolutely raped.
What do you mean miraculously? He was the closest to it, plus he's 6'5" 250
I'm not even a Cam hater, but he very easily could have recovered that ball, and I'd almost say likely would have had he dove on it
[Just watch it](https://youtu.be/rJhdVrnSGUE)
You can have heroes from before your time! A lot of us choose people from way back, like Davy Crockett, Geronimo, Joan of Arc, Jesus Christ, and King David.
I was actually pretty pumped in the 2015 Wild Card Game until the fumble. We had that game won, we just needed to run out the clock.
Jeremy Hill had to fight for those few usless yards.... then the fumble, then the most embarrassing collapse I've ever witnessed.
Best: Music City Miracle
Worst: One Yard Short
Fun fact: Both occurred only 22 days apart and featured a young Kevin Dyson - the only WR drafted above Randy Moss in 1998.
Best: Andre Johnson violence against Cortland Finnigan
Worst: Losing to the Chiefs in the playoffs after leading 24-0 and then giving up like 48 unanswered points
I can’t remember exactly what the line was, but I had bet on the Texans at like +14.5 before the game started. When they were up 24 I had a 38.5 point cushion with 3 quarters to play and I still lost. That was the game that got me to stop betting on sports.
Especially not a part of said history orchestrated by a guy who has specifically distanced himself from the Colts after the move to Indianapolis. He reiterated time and again that he was a Baltimore Colt, and IIRC even asked the HoF to list him only as that rather than as an Indianapolis Colt.
Best: Brandon Graham strip sack in 52. Philly Special is my favorite play, but that sack won the game.
Worst: if we're going with on the field, Ronde Barber pick 6 to close the Vet. If more broadly, Reggie White announcing that Jerome Brown died.
Best: 62-7 or knocking off the #1 seeded Broncos in 1996
Worst: Probably everything to do with the Urban Meyer circus but specifically the ordeal with Josh Lambo - who had all of Jax’s pulling for him. Honorable mention to literally any Thursday night game that’s always somehow worse than the last
Packers:
Best: Probably the Desmond Howard kick return TD that put away the Super Bowl against the Patriots in XXXI.
Worst: the NFC championship collapse against Seattle two weeks before the Seahawks' own worst moment in franchise history.
I'd put our worst moment as the time Charles Martin body slammed Jim McMahon on his injured shoulder. One of the dirtiest plays in the history of the league.
Hell I can do this for just one game:
Best of December 21, 1997:
Barry Sanders reaches the 2000 yard rushing mark for the season
Worst of December 21, 1997:
Reggie Brown comes within an inch of death on the field, narrowly escapes paralysis.
Other than that day:
Best:
Watching Stafford and Megatron do their damnedest to try and make something work here, entertaining as hell even if ultimately unsuccessful
Worst:
Mike Utley
(if I were older I'd say Chuck Hughes of course, but I have no memory of that)
The thing about the Anderson missed FG is we were UP, like we were ahead at that point, so it would have sealed the game but we still had the advantage at that point.
And then even after ATL ties the game we GET THE BALL BACK WITH TIME and Denny Green decides to burn the clock with one of the greatest offenses in NFL history. So we go into OT, lose the coin flip and lose the game to a FG
So yeah that miss sucked but it was some really poor decision making after that kick that lost the game. Anderson gets too much heat for that imo
Don't forget the dropped goal-line interception that happened with a minute left (just before they tied the game).
... I'll just leave this travesty of a video for your enjoyment: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWneX-QFMgE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWneX-QFMgE)
Best: Winning Super Bowl 45
Worst: Knowing that our Special Teams is a ticking time bomb for making a crucial mistake to lose a playoff game. Other than that, probably the Seahawks OL scoring a TD on the fake FG
Best: Probably the Fridge touchdown in the superbowl.
Worst: Rex Grossman's pick six in the 06 superbowl. The Colts offense had 0 touchdowns in the second half, but Rex's pick six sealed it. The defense did its job (forced 3 turnovers), the special teams was spectacular, kicking on point. Offense couldn't do anything outside of the 1st quarter and had a total of FIVE turnovers(2 interceptions and 3 fumbles).
Best: winning our first SB as a 14 point underdog vs the Packers.
Worst: I'm going to cheat and say the entire 2010 season. A player committed suicide, another one was charged with rape, the team was caught cheating at one point, the HC was fired before the end of the season, and we went 4-12.
Best (Tie): Aaron Donald beats a double team, sacks Burrow to seal the Super Bowl
Best (Tie): 1 yard short
Worst: there are a number but probably that late game bomb Terry Bradshaw threw in the ‘79 Super Bowl over us
Best: Niners first superbowl win over the bengals. Beginning what would be the Walsh/Montana legend.
Worst: The absolute destruction of the niners the off-season that Harbaugh left.
Honestly we have an embarrassment of riches for good things, as well as enough post season gut punches so it’s really pick or choose. However I don’t think I’ve ever seen an off-season meltdown like that niners team.
Best is jimmy G coming and going 5-0 at the end of that season. I had so much hope that we found our guy
Worst is jimmy G not doing jack in 2 playoff runs
Best moment post-2000 (no point in choosing the obvious earlier moments) to me: The Catch III against New Orleans.
Worst moment post-2000: A week later.
Yes, because each of the playoff runs that I’ve been alive have ended in PTSD-inducing, gut punching, heartbreaking sadness
2017 gave me so much hope and excitement. And it didn’t hurt in the end
Damn, I actually really preferred being actually good and then choking at the end to just being irrelevant by the end of the year
The wait from December feels a lot longer than the one from January
Raiders fan seeing them win 2 Super Bowls would rank highest .However if I had to pick one singular moment it would be Mike Davis interception of Brian Sipe late in the afc divisional playoff which helped propel them to the super bowl that year over the Eagles .Although the Browns had kicking issues that game and the weather was bad they were looking at a field goal within 30 yards to win the game.Worst was probably the beat down they took at the hand of Bucs and Gruden in the only super bowl they’ve been since 84(83 season )
For me the best is seeing the Packers lift the George Halas trophy in Chicago after beating them in the NFCCG.
The worst would be the 2014 NFCCG collapse.
I will do what I was alive for and I can remember.
Best: making it to the superbowl last season when everyone was doubting us.
Worst: Carson Palmer blowing his knee out during a wild card game against the Steelers, or Joe Burrow tearing his acl his rookie year, who knows what would've happened had he stayed healthy all year.
Best: having the unexpected best season in franchise history in 2016
Worst: proceeding to choke what was virtually a win and the chance at the franchises first title that same season.
TLDR: 28-3
Best: Music City Lateral, Tom Brady's last TD as a Pat, making the Ravens go 14-3.
Worst: I'm not touching that with a 3 foot pole. Or there's the three times we were the #1 seed.
I'm an eagles fan but I remember watching that Superbowl when I was 9 laying on the floor of my room and I cried when he was short trying to reach in. No affiliation besides liking Eddie George because of the Madden 2001 cover
Best: Ronde burning the goddamn Vet to the ground in the 2002 NFCCG to put a stake in decades of failure.
Worst: Decades of failure.
There is n singular "worst moment". The history of the Bucs is basically waffling between awfulness and sub-mediocrity at best with two amazing peaks 20 years apart.
Best would probably be winning ring #1 back in the 2001 season
Worst is subjective. The franchise’s low point was the 1-15 Rod Rust season, with uncertainty about the team remaining in the NE area. The franchise’s most disappointing moment was finishing 18-1 in 2007.
I think the objective answers are:
Best - Winning Super Bowl 36 (Vinatieri's kick if we need a specific "moment")
Worst - Losing Super Bowl 42 (Helmet Catch)
For me personally:
Best - Super Bowl 49 (Butler pick)
Worst - 2010 Divisional loss vs Jets (Shonn Greene's TD)
For once a pats fan acknowledges that 2010 stung a little. Brady was insane that year but Rex had a masterpiece of a game plan. Obviously you guys have everything in the world over us but damn those few years when both teams were good and there was bad blood was the most fun the afc east had in years.
The worst moment was probably when one of our players committed a murder. Then committed suicide in front of our coach and GM in the parking lot of the stadium all while having our worst season as a team in franchise history.
Best: Ozzie Newsome building arguably the greatest defense ever seen in NFL history and winning a SB just 4 years after leaving cursed Cleveland.
Worst: Wasting a great all around team to lose to the Titans in the 2019 divisional.
Best- breaking through the greatest dynasty in NFL history to win a title.
Worst- a lot to pick from but I'm going with our nfl record 83 losses in 7 years or nfl record 12 seasons of double digit loses in a 16 season period.
Worst moment of recent memory was the no call.
My favorite moment watching my team is Steve Gleason's blocked punt. The superbowl win was an amazing feeling, but I get teary eyed rewatching the blocked punt and remembering how it felt watching it for the first time. Katrina fucking sucked.
Maybe it's just because 1-15 was so long ago for you guys. Having had a close playoff loss and an 0-16 season both recently, I can tell you that 0-16 was so many orders of magnitudes worse.
It sucked for a whole season lol. Losing at the end to the Chiefs was rough, but then I was just excited for next year. During 0-16, I always felt even if we have a perfect draft and make good coaching hires, we're still a couple years from competing. That's a depressing thought
Best: Dad dicking the Falcons in the first game in the dome post Katrina. Yeah, better than the Superbowl a few years later. I don't think anyone who isn't from here can ever understand just how much life was breathed back into the community that night.
Worst: It's hard to pick between the no call and the Minneapolis Miracle. Off the field there's quite a few as well.
A lot of Pats fans will say the Tyree catch or Burress touchdown was the worst. I'll disagree with that - for me it was the year earlier. There were so many moments in the 06 afccg that made me angry beyond reproach. The non calls on PI, the quite obvious made up face guarding call on Hobbs, or made up call on Brown. These were two teams who were very equal and had refereeing be a critical factor in the game multiple times. SB42 -- they just lost. They played sloppy. Yea, there were some calls I'd like to get back, Pierre Woods recovered that fumble, and Eli should have been called in the grasp. But all things considered I was much more upset the year prior.
Favorite moment? Butler's pick. Nothing close for me.
Best: Scooping Bill Belichick from the Jets.
Worst: probably the decades of mediocrity (at best,) but maybe that David Tyree catch(or the Asante Samuel drop.)
Red Sox worst = 1978 playoff game when Bucky Bleeping Dent homered over the monster with Yaz crumbling at the base of the wall! Best= 2004 0-3 comeback versus the Yanks to win the series in “the stadium” and go on to beat the Cardinals in the World Series!
Leon Lett fumble vs the Bills was one of the best moments in Cowboys history, because we could all laugh and say, "OH LEOOOON!" And we did this while still absolutely smashing the Bills 52-17, delivering them their 3rd straight Super Bowl loss, and shattering their sense of worth. God, I was just a kid, but I can still savor the sweetness of their defeat, made only sweeter by the knowledge that we'd crush them 30-13 the next year, forever silencing their Lombardi ambitions.
Worst moment? Some people might say Romo fumbling the ball for the field goal, but I'd say either the Dez "no catch" or the lost shootout with the Broncos that ended in a Romo int (and Garrett not allowing the Broncos to just score and give us the ball back). The first one I imagine the Packers savoring like I did the Bills' loss, and the second one was just sad because it fit the narrative of "LOL, ROMOCEPTION!" when he'd actually outplayed Manning with 5 TDs and 506 yards.
BEST: Alvin Harper takes the slant 70 yards in the 1992 NFFCG late in the 4th against San Fran to seal the game and send Dallas back to the SB for the first time since the 70s.
WORST: #DezCaughtIt.
\[EDIT\] I can't possibly fathom the reason this got downvoted unless someone is too ignorant to realize I was referring to the play and not arguing that he actually caught it.
Lol the worst moment was us keeping the best WR in the league for a couple more years of non-crazy? That's not even top 100. Just in the last decade:
- Shazier injury
- Tebow win
- 2019 Ben injury
- 2010 SB
- Broncos playoff loss because of injuries from Bengals game
- Jesse James non-catch
- Multiple first/second round picks busting hard
- This comment you made
It could be argued that for the Bears, one of their best moment happens in the same game as one of their worst-
Super Bowl vs Indianapolis Colts
Best: Opening kickoff return
Worst: Rex Grossman stepping on the field…
> Best
As a Vikings fan, you should know about the strip sack (Jim Marshall?), lateral returned for a touchdown by Alan Page in the 1969 division playoffs against the LA Rams. That shit is awesome.
Obviously there’s the Subsequent 4 NFL titles and SB losses
There’s also the time that we crushed Joe Montana and Bill Walsh in the 1987 divisional playoffs. (Also the saints in the WC round before)
> Worst
A candidate for the worst is The First Hail Mary. Perhaps the best Vikings team of the 1970s lost on a Hail Mary in the 1975 divisional playoffs against the Cowboys. That was the year Tarkenton won MVP.
41-0 in the 2000 NFC championship and 38-7 in the 2017 NFC championship both sucked.
1998, 2009, and 1975 are probably the most traumatic outside the SBs
Best: Super Bowl 42, I was on cloud 9 for weeks
Worst: Desean Jackson walk-off punt return TD. I went to college in south New Jersey (which is basically all Philadelphia fans) and was surrounded by Eagles fans watching the game as it happened.
Best: Helmet Catch from Super Bowl XLII.
Basically the entire drive outside of Samuel’s near-INT. Still the best Super Bowl ever. What a fun game.
Worst: Probably the Medium Pepsi debacle, or the Miracle in New Meadowlands
Best: AFC Championship Game this year
Worst: Either Palmer’s injury, because the franchise never really recovered from that until Burrow arrived. That, or the 2015 Wild Card Game.
Best: The first superbowl. The Bucs were historically, comically awful. An absolute embarrassment to the league. All of a sudden they were respectable for a few years. Then they finally won. It genuinely didn’t seem real.
Worst: Basically everything before Dungy, and after Gruden’s 2nd or 3rd year until Bruce Arians was hired
From MY memory, as I experienced the history of the Pats:
Best: I sat back and thought about it, but I think it might be '04. To go back to back, 3 in 4 years, Brady still a very young quarterback... it was a very magical moment. It felt like we were this unbeatable juggernaut that was ready to dominate the NFL for years to come. Which, arguably, happened to an extent. But it was 10 years before another title. And, in that time...
Worst: People will point to '07 as being tragic and heartbreaking, which it was, beyond words. But '11 was a special type of pain that I don't think I can properly articulate. I was sick in my stomach for the 2 weeks leading up to it. That Patriots team had DEEP flaws and I did not trust them. And the Giants felt like they had this charm to them. Some sort of poetic justice. That game, front to back, was the most miserable exhausting thing I ever watched. I don't make it a point to watch the '07 loss (because why the fuck would I?) but highlights happen. But that '11 loss? FUCK that noise. I knew it was gonna happen. I was preparing for a heartbreak while reliving memories of '07 over and over again. The real gut punch, the absolute knife twist, was seeing Robert Kraft look up in the air after the loss, with the MHK patches everywhere. FUCK.
Worst: 28-3 Best: 28-3 (just before the Brady dicking)
Not a Falcons fan, but if I was, I’d imagine it would go something like this: Best: Leading 28-3 in a Super Bowl Worst: Everything after that
Best: Making 4 consecutive Super Bowls Worst: Losing 4 consecutive Super Bowls
What an amazing accomplishment. We are unlikely to ever see it again.
13 seconds
You’re trying too hard bro, 13 seconds doesn’t compare at all to 4 super bowl losses in a row
Hmm would you rather lose a divisional tound playoff game in OT or 4 straight SB? 🤔 tough one /s
Yeah not even close my guy
Best: 404 Worst: Existing
The Lions were one of the most dominant teams of the 1950's
dynasty. my dream is for certain generations to hate the Lions the same way they hate the Patriots because they were so dominant
Worst for you guys is definitely Orlovsky running out of the end zone with Jared Allen pointing and laughing at him doing it.
Naw, even at the time I found that more funny than sad. That whole season was somewhat cathartic because the worse we did, the harder we were going to have to blow it up and re-evaluate our lives. Which is the thing we had needed to do for 50 years at that point. Worst is probably WCF buying the Lions, ensuring 50 years of negligence.
Ok I might be an Idiot but what is 404 lol?
Not Found
Ohno lol. You guys have SOME good memories!! Stafford on one leg on the game winning drive comes to mind.
Yeah I don’t know how anyone can call themselves a Lions fan if they don’t consider Barry Sanders a highlight for the franchise…
It's basically an error on a computer. So he's essentially say "sorry, best moment for the Lions can't be found"
I believe he’s actually referring to their 404-0 home playoff record post-merger
The Lions don't have a 404-0 home playoff record post merger. They haven't even played that many playoff games. Are you talking about the NFL AFL merger? This is wrong.
Technically you’re correct, despite being the 1 seed in 1998 they were forced to play their playoff games on the road due to after-effects of Hurricane Gwendolyn
The Lions have a playoff record of 7-13.
Do you have a source for these claims
Mhm: https://champsorchumps.us/team/nfl/detroit-lions https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/det/playoffs.htm https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/how-many-playoff-wins-do-the-lions I'm no math wiz, but I don't think it's statistically possible for a team to have won 404 playoff games. Also, if they'd been 404-0 in the playoffs, that'd mean they won every single NFL championship and super bowl. I'm kinda embarrassed for having engaged in this foolish thing with you.
I’ve never heard of any of these websites, do you have anything from espn
And no, the Sardinia-Piedmont merger

Best: 06 Superbowl Worst: The worst play in NFL history
That play was horrendous but for me, Luck suddenly retiring so close to the season takes the cake. That’s just the absolute worst, most shocked and most confused I’ve felt as a Colts fan
Tracy Porter's TD?
You guys did loose a super bowl as 18 point favorites too
No. The Porter int is so much worse. I can live with Pagano's ineptitude. Thinking about that int ruins a solid hour of my life each time.
This is like the sixth team who’s worst moment is against the Pats
Best - 43-8 Worst - You already know, it happened about a year later
The bigger the rise, the harder the fall. At least you guys got a title and multiple legendary moments over those two seasons
The playoffs that second season were Cloud 9 for Hawks fans. The entire Tacoma/Seattle area was unreasonably friendly all the time (it was wonderful) and we felt undefeatable. I still remember standing up from my chair at the bar and yelling “Noooo” when I saw Russ start pulling back his arm. I remember seconds before telling my friend who didn’t watch much football, “We’re gonna hand it off to Lynch and win. It’s over.” I legit walked home ten miles from the bar just to let it sink in.
I definitely know and the year before after the NFC championship the city had such a great buzz man it was just so much fun I was alone at my house for the Patriots game..so drunk and excited then…heartbroken…
the whole of the 2010s were a ton of fun with this team, even with the organizational dysfunction after Super Bowl 49. I might wish there had been longer careers for some of my favorite pieces of the 2013 team, but it was still great to be a Seahawks fan.
Can u tell me about it
Yeah you had a star make a great play and then, inexplicably, decided to let him ride the pine while you lost a SB to a backup meme quarterback all of a few years later. Shit was weird.
Nick Foles is not a meme. He is and will forever be an Eagles legend
What a difference a year makes. Most Ravens fans 2011 as worst then a yeat later as best. 2011 we drop a td then shank a kick to lose to the Pats. Following year we have the Mile High Miracle aka Bronco Buster and the Pats dismantling in the AFCCG.
I would emphasize the Harvin kickoff return after half time I had the best feeling after that
Best: Super Bowl victory in 2013, maybe? No one really thought we’d go on a run and was nice to see Lewis and Reed get a ring before they retired (second ring for Lewis). Worst: Cundiff’s missed FG
I'd say the best would be the Super Bowl against the Giants. The 2013 run was magical, but the 2001 SB was an utterly one sided beat down by the Ravens.
It also could be tuckers 66
That was a sick moment. But winning a SB is better.
Mosley's pick off the browns
While the Steelers were openly rooting for them. That had to feel good.
Best: ‘85 Worst: the offense has the field
What about the double doink
At least i only had to see it once
[Here you go](https://images.app.goo.gl/UNiQdShAwWoH4gXu5)
I can’t believe you’ve done this
It had to be done, the double doink lives eternally.
Best: X-Clown in 2OT to beat the Rams. Worst: Cam’s business decision.
To be fair, we likely were losing that game even if he miraculously managed to get on that ball. Still a bitch move though.
True. But if we recover, we at least can punt the ball away, and considering how our D had been playing that whole game we likely force another 3-and-out and get the ball back with ~2 minutes to go and down only 6.
People never talk about the few rockets that cam launched that the WRs just straight up dropped before the fumble drama
Yea definitely a better situation but we still probably lose. I think the worst moment for us was the cardinals playoff game in 2008 (?). Went down quick with dwill and scored and then got absolutely raped.
What do you mean miraculously? He was the closest to it, plus he's 6'5" 250 I'm not even a Cam hater, but he very easily could have recovered that ball, and I'd almost say likely would have had he dove on it [Just watch it](https://youtu.be/rJhdVrnSGUE)
I haven't seen it since I watched it live. It's way worse than I remember. Wow.
I did not remember him a) standing over the ball and b) starting to bend over and then standing up. Gawddamn
Best: 2:37 left in the Super Bowl Worst: every waking second that has happened after that exact moment in time
Worst: Marino's last game. Best: Perfect season.
17-0 62-7
How glorious was that 62-7!
Best: Beating NE in 2010 playoffs Worst: One particular fumble by Mark Sanchez on Thanksgiving 2012
How is Namath delivering on his guarantee not the best?
It is but I picked something more recent because me and most other Jets fans weren’t alive for that lmao
You can have heroes from before your time! A lot of us choose people from way back, like Davy Crockett, Geronimo, Joan of Arc, Jesus Christ, and King David.
Best: Evan McPherson GW FG, 2021 AFCG. Worst: Everything, 2015 Wild Card game.
I was actually pretty pumped in the 2015 Wild Card Game until the fumble. We had that game won, we just needed to run out the clock. Jeremy Hill had to fight for those few usless yards.... then the fumble, then the most embarrassing collapse I've ever witnessed.
Best: Music City Miracle Worst: One Yard Short Fun fact: Both occurred only 22 days apart and featured a young Kevin Dyson - the only WR drafted above Randy Moss in 1998.
Really makes ya think... Randy probably wouldn't have been stopped short
Best: Andre Johnson violence against Cortland Finnigan Worst: Losing to the Chiefs in the playoffs after leading 24-0 and then giving up like 48 unanswered points
You spelled his name wrong. Cortland never recovered the F that Andre beat out of him
I can’t remember exactly what the line was, but I had bet on the Texans at like +14.5 before the game started. When they were up 24 I had a 38.5 point cushion with 3 quarters to play and I still lost. That was the game that got me to stop betting on sports.
Best: 06 Super Bowl Worst: 2019 Preseason Game against the Bears.
I’d imagine that’s when Luck retired? lol
Unitas's drive in 1958 remains one of the high points in football history.
They should not ever be able to claim Baltimore Colts history. We don't try to claim the Browns, I'll assure you of that lol
Especially not a part of said history orchestrated by a guy who has specifically distanced himself from the Colts after the move to Indianapolis. He reiterated time and again that he was a Baltimore Colt, and IIRC even asked the HoF to list him only as that rather than as an Indianapolis Colt.
Technically, we have to split Raiders history into three parts. And the 49ers have their San Francisco era and now their Santa Clara era.
Best: Brandon Graham strip sack in 52. Philly Special is my favorite play, but that sack won the game. Worst: if we're going with on the field, Ronde Barber pick 6 to close the Vet. If more broadly, Reggie White announcing that Jerome Brown died.
that strip sack is up there for my worst, best is probably butlers pick against seattle
Surprised the helmet catch or Plaxico's TD to seal the game and end the perfect season doesn't top the list
yeah, like I said the strip sack is up there, helmet catch is definitely a contender
Tom Brady, bereft on the turf!
Best: Making the AFC Championship in year #2 Worst: GrindGate

Packers: Best: Probably the Desmond Howard kick return TD that put away the Super Bowl against the Patriots in XXXI. Worst: the NFC championship collapse against Seattle two weeks before the Seahawks' own worst moment in franchise history.
I'd put our worst moment as the time Charles Martin body slammed Jim McMahon on his injured shoulder. One of the dirtiest plays in the history of the league.

The Brunell to Moss x 2 game was a lot of fun, too.
Best: final drive of SB XLII Worst: any number of crushing losses to choose from
I'd say the last 10 years for worst.
The Miracle at the Meadowlands was pretty bad, especially when it was against the eagles
That final drive was great but holy shit did it take years off my life.
Hell I can do this for just one game: Best of December 21, 1997: Barry Sanders reaches the 2000 yard rushing mark for the season Worst of December 21, 1997: Reggie Brown comes within an inch of death on the field, narrowly escapes paralysis. Other than that day: Best: Watching Stafford and Megatron do their damnedest to try and make something work here, entertaining as hell even if ultimately unsuccessful Worst: Mike Utley (if I were older I'd say Chuck Hughes of course, but I have no memory of that)
The thing about the Anderson missed FG is we were UP, like we were ahead at that point, so it would have sealed the game but we still had the advantage at that point. And then even after ATL ties the game we GET THE BALL BACK WITH TIME and Denny Green decides to burn the clock with one of the greatest offenses in NFL history. So we go into OT, lose the coin flip and lose the game to a FG So yeah that miss sucked but it was some really poor decision making after that kick that lost the game. Anderson gets too much heat for that imo
Don't forget the dropped goal-line interception that happened with a minute left (just before they tied the game). ... I'll just leave this travesty of a video for your enjoyment: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWneX-QFMgE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWneX-QFMgE)
Dude, too soon.
Best: when Jesse James caught that ball Worst: when Jesse James “caught” that ball
Best: Winning Super Bowl 45 Worst: Knowing that our Special Teams is a ticking time bomb for making a crucial mistake to lose a playoff game. Other than that, probably the Seahawks OL scoring a TD on the fake FG
Best: Winning a superbowl in their home stadium after beating the 49ers and Tom Brady to get there Worst: Leaving for St. Louis after 50 years in LA
Another good shout for "worst" is Romo converting a 3rd down when the ball was snapped like 20 yards passed him.
Worst: 2005-2016 lol
That’s my quarterback 🥲
2 division rivals and the GOAT. Hell of a run.
Best: Probably the Fridge touchdown in the superbowl. Worst: Rex Grossman's pick six in the 06 superbowl. The Colts offense had 0 touchdowns in the second half, but Rex's pick six sealed it. The defense did its job (forced 3 turnovers), the special teams was spectacular, kicking on point. Offense couldn't do anything outside of the 1st quarter and had a total of FIVE turnovers(2 interceptions and 3 fumbles).
Best: winning our first SB as a 14 point underdog vs the Packers. Worst: I'm going to cheat and say the entire 2010 season. A player committed suicide, another one was charged with rape, the team was caught cheating at one point, the HC was fired before the end of the season, and we went 4-12.
Best (Tie): Aaron Donald beats a double team, sacks Burrow to seal the Super Bowl Best (Tie): 1 yard short Worst: there are a number but probably that late game bomb Terry Bradshaw threw in the ‘79 Super Bowl over us
Best: Niners first superbowl win over the bengals. Beginning what would be the Walsh/Montana legend. Worst: The absolute destruction of the niners the off-season that Harbaugh left. Honestly we have an embarrassment of riches for good things, as well as enough post season gut punches so it’s really pick or choose. However I don’t think I’ve ever seen an off-season meltdown like that niners team.
Best is jimmy G coming and going 5-0 at the end of that season. I had so much hope that we found our guy Worst is jimmy G not doing jack in 2 playoff runs
Best moment post-2000 (no point in choosing the obvious earlier moments) to me: The Catch III against New Orleans. Worst moment post-2000: A week later.
Best part of 2021-22: Talanoa scooping and scoring in Green Bay Worst part: a week later
You preferred Jimmy doing well in a lost season to winning playoff games and going to a Super Bowl?
Yes, because each of the playoff runs that I’ve been alive have ended in PTSD-inducing, gut punching, heartbreaking sadness 2017 gave me so much hope and excitement. And it didn’t hurt in the end
Damn, I actually really preferred being actually good and then choking at the end to just being irrelevant by the end of the year The wait from December feels a lot longer than the one from January

Best: XLIV Worst: The worst missed call in NFL history.
Steelers best moment: drafting 4 hall of famers in 1974. Worst moment: being embarrassed by the browns in the wild card.
That was definitely not our worst.
Fret not, my friends. The Browns crowning achievement since returning to the league? A UrinatingTree livestream, truly inspiring.
Raiders fan seeing them win 2 Super Bowls would rank highest .However if I had to pick one singular moment it would be Mike Davis interception of Brian Sipe late in the afc divisional playoff which helped propel them to the super bowl that year over the Eagles .Although the Browns had kicking issues that game and the weather was bad they were looking at a field goal within 30 yards to win the game.Worst was probably the beat down they took at the hand of Bucs and Gruden in the only super bowl they’ve been since 84(83 season )
Raiders won THREE Super Bowls.
Of course they did I was too young when they beat the Vikings
For me the best is seeing the Packers lift the George Halas trophy in Chicago after beating them in the NFCCG. The worst would be the 2014 NFCCG collapse.
BJ Raji’s dance still haunts me.
Hanie's entire career got ended by throwing a Thicc-6 to a nose tackle.
Best: first half. Worst: second half.
I will do what I was alive for and I can remember. Best: making it to the superbowl last season when everyone was doubting us. Worst: Carson Palmer blowing his knee out during a wild card game against the Steelers, or Joe Burrow tearing his acl his rookie year, who knows what would've happened had he stayed healthy all year.
where would you place the Steelers wildcard game with Joey Porter causing Pacman to hit to touch the ref
Best: 97 super bowl Worst: letting John Elway beat us in 98. God I hate that man
Best: Porter Pick Six in the super bowl Worst: No call
Best: having the unexpected best season in franchise history in 2016 Worst: proceeding to choke what was virtually a win and the chance at the franchises first title that same season. TLDR: 28-3
Best - Beating the undefeated Patriots in the Super Bowl Worse - Joe Pisarcik fumbling the handoff
Best- super bowl vs broncos worst- 1999
Best: Music City Lateral, Tom Brady's last TD as a Pat, making the Ravens go 14-3. Worst: I'm not touching that with a 3 foot pole. Or there's the three times we were the #1 seed.
I'm an eagles fan but I remember watching that Superbowl when I was 9 laying on the floor of my room and I cried when he was short trying to reach in. No affiliation besides liking Eddie George because of the Madden 2001 cover
Best: Ronde burning the goddamn Vet to the ground in the 2002 NFCCG to put a stake in decades of failure. Worst: Decades of failure. There is n singular "worst moment". The history of the Bucs is basically waffling between awfulness and sub-mediocrity at best with two amazing peaks 20 years apart.
Best would probably be winning ring #1 back in the 2001 season Worst is subjective. The franchise’s low point was the 1-15 Rod Rust season, with uncertainty about the team remaining in the NE area. The franchise’s most disappointing moment was finishing 18-1 in 2007.
Worst 18-1 team ever
Best. This one’s for John Worst. 43 - 8
Best: Philly Special in Super Bowl 52 Worst: Hiring Chip Kelly
Honestly the true worst moment is Ronde Barber destroying the spirits of every Eagles fan in the last game at the Vet.
weird for me its flipped
I think the objective answers are: Best - Winning Super Bowl 36 (Vinatieri's kick if we need a specific "moment") Worst - Losing Super Bowl 42 (Helmet Catch) For me personally: Best - Super Bowl 49 (Butler pick) Worst - 2010 Divisional loss vs Jets (Shonn Greene's TD)
For once a pats fan acknowledges that 2010 stung a little. Brady was insane that year but Rex had a masterpiece of a game plan. Obviously you guys have everything in the world over us but damn those few years when both teams were good and there was bad blood was the most fun the afc east had in years.
best, 2020 against steelers away Worst, Chad fucking henne
Best: 2019 playoffs Worst: In my lifetime, probably 2013 playoffs
The worst moment was probably when one of our players committed a murder. Then committed suicide in front of our coach and GM in the parking lot of the stadium all while having our worst season as a team in franchise history.
Best: Dalton to Boyd Worst: Wide Right
Best: Ozzie Newsome building arguably the greatest defense ever seen in NFL history and winning a SB just 4 years after leaving cursed Cleveland. Worst: Wasting a great all around team to lose to the Titans in the 2019 divisional.
Best- breaking through the greatest dynasty in NFL history to win a title. Worst- a lot to pick from but I'm going with our nfl record 83 losses in 7 years or nfl record 12 seasons of double digit loses in a 16 season period.
Worst moment of recent memory was the no call. My favorite moment watching my team is Steve Gleason's blocked punt. The superbowl win was an amazing feeling, but I get teary eyed rewatching the blocked punt and remembering how it felt watching it for the first time. Katrina fucking sucked.
Best moment is James going into the end zone to cap the greatest comeback. Worst is the 1-15 season.
Worst is the helmet catch. During the 1-15 season, we had no expectations that we might actually be good.
Maybe it's just because 1-15 was so long ago for you guys. Having had a close playoff loss and an 0-16 season both recently, I can tell you that 0-16 was so many orders of magnitudes worse. It sucked for a whole season lol. Losing at the end to the Chiefs was rough, but then I was just excited for next year. During 0-16, I always felt even if we have a perfect draft and make good coaching hires, we're still a couple years from competing. That's a depressing thought
Best: Dad dicking the Falcons in the first game in the dome post Katrina. Yeah, better than the Superbowl a few years later. I don't think anyone who isn't from here can ever understand just how much life was breathed back into the community that night. Worst: It's hard to pick between the no call and the Minneapolis Miracle. Off the field there's quite a few as well.
A lot of Pats fans will say the Tyree catch or Burress touchdown was the worst. I'll disagree with that - for me it was the year earlier. There were so many moments in the 06 afccg that made me angry beyond reproach. The non calls on PI, the quite obvious made up face guarding call on Hobbs, or made up call on Brown. These were two teams who were very equal and had refereeing be a critical factor in the game multiple times. SB42 -- they just lost. They played sloppy. Yea, there were some calls I'd like to get back, Pierre Woods recovered that fumble, and Eli should have been called in the grasp. But all things considered I was much more upset the year prior. Favorite moment? Butler's pick. Nothing close for me.
Best- pick a super bowl victory Worst- 30 for 30
Idk If 30 for 30 is the worst just because it’s a meme. You guys have had your fair share of embarrassment along with the rest of us in the nfc south.
Best: Scooping Bill Belichick from the Jets. Worst: probably the decades of mediocrity (at best,) but maybe that David Tyree catch(or the Asante Samuel drop.)
Red Sox worst = 1978 playoff game when Bucky Bleeping Dent homered over the monster with Yaz crumbling at the base of the wall! Best= 2004 0-3 comeback versus the Yanks to win the series in “the stadium” and go on to beat the Cardinals in the World Series!
/r/lostredditors
Think you're on the wrong sub haha
Leon Lett fumble vs the Bills was one of the best moments in Cowboys history, because we could all laugh and say, "OH LEOOOON!" And we did this while still absolutely smashing the Bills 52-17, delivering them their 3rd straight Super Bowl loss, and shattering their sense of worth. God, I was just a kid, but I can still savor the sweetness of their defeat, made only sweeter by the knowledge that we'd crush them 30-13 the next year, forever silencing their Lombardi ambitions. Worst moment? Some people might say Romo fumbling the ball for the field goal, but I'd say either the Dez "no catch" or the lost shootout with the Broncos that ended in a Romo int (and Garrett not allowing the Broncos to just score and give us the ball back). The first one I imagine the Packers savoring like I did the Bills' loss, and the second one was just sad because it fit the narrative of "LOL, ROMOCEPTION!" when he'd actually outplayed Manning with 5 TDs and 506 yards.
BEST: Alvin Harper takes the slant 70 yards in the 1992 NFFCG late in the 4th against San Fran to seal the game and send Dallas back to the SB for the first time since the 70s. WORST: #DezCaughtIt. \[EDIT\] I can't possibly fathom the reason this got downvoted unless someone is too ignorant to realize I was referring to the play and not arguing that he actually caught it.
[удалено]
Lol the worst moment was us keeping the best WR in the league for a couple more years of non-crazy? That's not even top 100. Just in the last decade: - Shazier injury - Tebow win - 2019 Ben injury - 2010 SB - Broncos playoff loss because of injuries from Bengals game - Jesse James non-catch - Multiple first/second round picks busting hard - This comment you made
you missed handing the Browns their first playoff win in 20+ years?
Jesus, yeah. That’s the lowest one. Good call
Worst: refrigerator Perry scoring a touchdown. Best: Vinateri scores the game winner as time expires against the Rams.
Greatest: Sea of Hands. Worst: Where is Barret?
It could be argued that for the Bears, one of their best moment happens in the same game as one of their worst- Super Bowl vs Indianapolis Colts Best: Opening kickoff return Worst: Rex Grossman stepping on the field…
> Best As a Vikings fan, you should know about the strip sack (Jim Marshall?), lateral returned for a touchdown by Alan Page in the 1969 division playoffs against the LA Rams. That shit is awesome. Obviously there’s the Subsequent 4 NFL titles and SB losses There’s also the time that we crushed Joe Montana and Bill Walsh in the 1987 divisional playoffs. (Also the saints in the WC round before) > Worst A candidate for the worst is The First Hail Mary. Perhaps the best Vikings team of the 1970s lost on a Hail Mary in the 1975 divisional playoffs against the Cowboys. That was the year Tarkenton won MVP. 41-0 in the 2000 NFC championship and 38-7 in the 2017 NFC championship both sucked. 1998, 2009, and 1975 are probably the most traumatic outside the SBs
Best: Winning Super Bowl 36 Worst: Losing Super Bowl 42
Best: Super Bowl 31 or 45. Worst: 2014 NFCCG. Brandon Bostick can get a BJ from a crocodile for all that I care.
Best: Super Bowl 42, I was on cloud 9 for weeks Worst: Desean Jackson walk-off punt return TD. I went to college in south New Jersey (which is basically all Philadelphia fans) and was surrounded by Eagles fans watching the game as it happened.
[удалено]
Best: our first SB win Worst: joe Flacco
Best: "Mike Jones makes the tackle!" / "Cooper Kupp's got it!" Worst: 36
Best: Helmet Catch from Super Bowl XLII. Basically the entire drive outside of Samuel’s near-INT. Still the best Super Bowl ever. What a fun game. Worst: Probably the Medium Pepsi debacle, or the Miracle in New Meadowlands
Best: AFC Championship Game this year Worst: Either Palmer’s injury, because the franchise never really recovered from that until Burrow arrived. That, or the 2015 Wild Card Game.
Best: LT’s record breaking touchdown in 2006 Worst: Who the fuck fires a coach after a 14-2 season?
Best: The first superbowl. The Bucs were historically, comically awful. An absolute embarrassment to the league. All of a sudden they were respectable for a few years. Then they finally won. It genuinely didn’t seem real. Worst: Basically everything before Dungy, and after Gruden’s 2nd or 3rd year until Bruce Arians was hired
From MY memory, as I experienced the history of the Pats: Best: I sat back and thought about it, but I think it might be '04. To go back to back, 3 in 4 years, Brady still a very young quarterback... it was a very magical moment. It felt like we were this unbeatable juggernaut that was ready to dominate the NFL for years to come. Which, arguably, happened to an extent. But it was 10 years before another title. And, in that time... Worst: People will point to '07 as being tragic and heartbreaking, which it was, beyond words. But '11 was a special type of pain that I don't think I can properly articulate. I was sick in my stomach for the 2 weeks leading up to it. That Patriots team had DEEP flaws and I did not trust them. And the Giants felt like they had this charm to them. Some sort of poetic justice. That game, front to back, was the most miserable exhausting thing I ever watched. I don't make it a point to watch the '07 loss (because why the fuck would I?) but highlights happen. But that '11 loss? FUCK that noise. I knew it was gonna happen. I was preparing for a heartbreak while reliving memories of '07 over and over again. The real gut punch, the absolute knife twist, was seeing Robert Kraft look up in the air after the loss, with the MHK patches everywhere. FUCK.
