Worst Moment In Your Teams History?

[FirstTimer]

The Bears and Steelers were tied for the #1 pick after getting the worst records in the league that year. The Bears lost the coin-toss and the Steelers got the #1 pick.

They drafted a guy named Terry Bradshaw.

2nd....is losing the super bowl with Grossman at QB I think.

Honestly those Bears teams though were trash and they had horrible front office management. Even if we got Bradshaw(one of the more overrated QB's in NFL History IMO) I doubt it would have mattered much. The Bears would have sucked anyways. They never would have put talent around Bradshaw the way the Steelers did and Bradshaw would have been awful.

The raiders made it to the AFC championship game and lost to the bills 51-3 in 1990. That memory still stings pretty bad.

1999 NFC Championship:

We held the greatest show on turf to 5 points and all that changed on one 30-yard pass. Credit to Kurt Warner though. Brian Kelly was playing flawless coverage and Warner just put it in a spot where either Proehl would come down with it or it was going out of bounds. We lose 11-6

not that bad, because Bradshaw sucked ass and got lucky to be put in the all-time perfect position. He is the Trent Dilfer of the 70's all he had to do was handoff to Harris and let the D Win.

you are offically a fucktard toolbox. Bradshaw won 2 super bowl MVP's, 4 trophies in all and is in the HoF. Dilfer is holding Chris Berman's Jock on ESPN. Don't hate winners.

The worst moment for a Lions fan has to be Reggie Brown. Dude had great potential and lost it all on the field. Almost died, too.

Losing to the Titans 33-14 in the 2000 AFC Championship game, watching them celebrate a trip to the Super Bowl after the season we had was just terrible.

Recently was the 2007 season, losing to the Patriots in the playoffs. We were coming off such a big win in Pittsburgh, and everyone was saying "If one team is going to beat the Patriots its Jacksonville" and then we go up to New England and lose by 11. I felt like shit that night and did for the next week.

January, 2003. Giants up 38-14 on the 49ers in the NFC Wildcard game & go on to lose 39-38.

I still blame my wife for that one. When it was 38-14 I came to the dinner table & the game was on the tv in the kitchen. She hands me a plate & I sit down to eat & keep watching. When she sits down, she sees the score, grabs the remote & changes the channel figuring it's in the bag. I shout "What are you doing?" She's like, it's 38-14, the game's over," but she turns back quick. By that time the Niners had already scored. I told her, "See, what you did?" And the rest is history.

I seriously considered divorce after that game but I hung on to her anyway.

There are countless times in the Browns history that could be considered the worst.

I was just starting to get into football and the day after my birthday in 1995, Cleveland was sold to Baltimore.

Since then the only worst time I can think of is holding a lead in the 2001 playoffs against the Steelers and watching them come back and win it in the fourth quarter.

Obviously, you're not old enough to remember "The Drive" and "The Drive II". Surprised no Browns fans have mentioned those, yet.

Those moments are the stuff that require decades of therapy to deal with...

As for staying on topic: I would have to say the Jags loss to the Patriots during the Playoffs.

I knew coming in with all the hype and the bullshit that the media (ESPN) put behind the game, a jinx/curse was going to be over the game.

4 quarters later and a whole lot of Jacksonville fans (including me) are left wondering "what if?" as the team continues to rebuild towards 2nd place in the division.

The entire 2005 season.

Hurricane Katrina hit a week and a half before Week 1, and the Saints bolted to San Antonio. Owner Tom Benson tried his damndest to keep the team there and San Antonio government officials didn't do a very good job of hiding there desire to keep the Saints while New Orleans was at its lowest.

The team played 4 games at LSU, and sold 60,000+ tickets for the first. Then, after the game, Benson accused Saints fans of trying to kill him on the way out of Tiger Stadium, and said he would not come back to Louisiana (a local news camera had footage of Benson leaving, and he was never threatened -- in fact he attacked the camera man). Anyway, after that first game, there was no more than 20,000-30,000 fans for the next three games in Tiger Stadium.

All the talking heads in the national media were saying how the Saints would never play in New Orleans again, and pretty much everyone around here, including local media, had kind of come to the realization that would happen, especially with the Superdome taking on extensive damage and Benson firing one of the few people in the front office that confronted him about trying to keep the team in San Antonio.

For all the concern of rebuilding the city, the thought of the Saints not coming back made for some pretty depressing times in south Louisiana.

Paul Tagliabue stepped in, though, forced Benson to come back to New Orleans, and since then, there's a 35,000+ waiting list for season tickets. And the team just reached an agreement with the state to stay through at least 2025.

I had considered...but the move to Baltimore was strictly 100% greed...and we have never recovered from it. 20 straight years of selling out games...and he moves? Seriously. My blood pressure jumps thinking about it.

I was actually tempted to put watching Baltimore win the SB...

I have to think you are using a bit of revisionist history here. I'm no expert, but, from what I remember, Modell had no choice but to move the team to Baltimore. Municipal stadium was falling apart and it began costing more money to renovate than it was worth. The constant work on the stadium is what drained Modell. In fact, Modell often had to resort to taking out loans to pay out signing bonuses to Andre Rison and a few other players. Plain and simple, Modell did not have a revenue stream in Municipal stadium. The Indians got Jacobs Field, the Cavs got Gund Arena and Modell was left shelling out cash to repair a dump of a stadium. Not saying I agree one way or another, but, I can see why Modell jumped at the opportunity to relocate to a city that was willing to build him a new stadium.
