@@ryankuypers1819 yeah, that was a rough way to go out. I legit felt bad for Bostick in the moment. My GF at the time was a packers fan and was talking sh*t throughout the game so I let hear about it at the end only to get the same treatment two week’s later 😂
The Bills' four straight Super Bowl losses has got to be the cruelest thing I've ever seen in sports, and I used to be a fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs. It boggles the mind that a team could make the final round for four straight years and lose *all* of them.
@@goldflame3390for sure. LeBron and the cavs were a 3-1 comeback away from having this happen against the warriors. I wish the bills could have got one their fans deserve it man. Them or the lions best get one this year or pissed.
Well the Leafs haven't a won a Cup since 1967 and have barely even won a playoff game since. They could well be the most horribly mismanaged and unluckiest franchise in sports history.
@@RicoCosta317 To be fair, the Leafs have won plenty of playoff games since '67; they made it to the Conference Finals four separate times in a decade (1993, '94, '99, and '02). But they haven't made the Cup Finals since '67, and they went two decades without so much as winning a series (before finally winning one last year) Still, losing four straight Super Bowls is a type of misery that not even the Leafs have felt. It's the hope that gets you, after all; to be good enough to make four straight championships but somehow not good enough to win any of them is a special type of hell.
I will never forget the trauma I experienced as a Bills fan during 13 seconds. When Gabe scored the go ahead touchdown, what I felt could only be described as unbridled happiness and joy that I had yet to experience in my life as a sports fan. That feeling would then be followed but the most intense stabbing loss I’ve ever felt. I proceeded to black out on my couch and woke up at 3 am still reeling.
as a Saints fan I ain't watching this. I look away every time they show the Minneapolis Miracle, and it's literally every. single. season. multiple times per season, and before every playoff game.
@@Stye-nz2ziThat’s pretty fair. At least Manning gave y’all some pretty great years. And ever since I’ve always rooted for the colts a little bit. Hopefully AR can give y’all some more consistency next year.
I have watched it several times. And if it does give a great example is that Marcus Williams.s forged himself to not let that missed tackle define him.
Not having the Bengals - Steelers 2015 playoff game on here is insane. As a Bengals fan it was the worst night of my life watching the first playoff win in 30 years slip away... I still think about it.
No bruh. Just no. You made a valiant attempt use the word “irony” correctly, I’ll give you that, however… “Irony” is the Chiefs proposing both teams get one possession in OT after losing in the playoffs to the Patriots without Mahomes ever getting a chance to touch the ball. The NFL denied the proposal. The very next season the Chiefs beat the Bills in the playoffs without Allen ever getting a chance to touch the ball in OT. That is irony. (Not to mention that the 49ers would have needed to score a TD in OT to make your point valid. They kicked a FG bruh.)
Honorable mention to Seahawks @ Vikings 2015, a terrible missed kick from Minnesota in the waning seconds of the Wild Card round. Mind you, the kicker was the only reason they put points up the entire game! When this happened, I was in the 8th grade and had a really great Science teacher. He was funny and wicked smart, and he'd start the day with news roundups and a bit of football talk. He's also a massive Vikings fan, and this year, he was excited. Of course, being in the Bay Area, he'd remind us that the Niners and Raiders were in the mix, but no one doubted his alliegance. He knew this team could do it this year. On the drive to school, I heard the playcall on the morning radio, and my heart sank. Literally the entire day he had people telling him they were so sorry, that was a terrible miss, they had nothing but empathy for him. But he smiled, said "we've been here before", and kept on trucking. To this day I am a Vikings fan for him and him alone. A cursed team. A team that cannot have nice things. But the team I want to see win it all regardless.
The funniest thing was that Blair Walsh would end up on the Seahawks two years later, after they parted ways with Steven Haushka (there's also a hilarious story there too, but that doesn't have anything to do with playoffs). He proceeded to be bad for the Seahawks and was cut after that year, his last year in the NFL.
As a fan of the Saints, I will never forgive Stefon Diggs. Fortunately since I'm also a Chiefs fan I got to see him lose in heartbreaking fashion just a couple years later.
As a Saints fan, having to go through heartbreaking playoffs losses is terrible but I could take that over blowing a big lead in the Super Bowl. Hi Atlanta.
I honestly think the beastquake game was just as bad as the other losses considering we were defending Champs and the Seahawks were like 7 and 9 or something lol.
The Vikings are heartbreak. They are the cruelty of hope. The Lions make you depressed, the Browns make you sad, the Jets make you laugh through tears. But the Vikings ... they make you believe. They make you open yourself to them. They will take you to the greatest height, and right when you finally start to believe, they will kick you off without a parachute. The Vikings are ranked near the top in all-time playoff appearances and division titles. They are remarkably consistent, having produced Super Bowl contenders every decade. Their players litter the Hall of Fame like stars in the sky. By almost every metric, the Vikings are one of the most successful teams in NFL history ... except in Super Bowl rings. Because cruelty, thy name is the Vikings.
My friend is a Vikings fan and I always quote Paul Allen's famous rant at Brett Favre's pick in New Orleans (The "This is not Detroit man, this is the Superbowl" line) He laughs every time and he said "Best to laugh at the pain of being a Vikings fan than to loathe sometimes "
If you, random person reading comments, don't believe this is true for the Vikings, then the proof is a 7-part, 8-hour docu-series by Jon Bois on the history of the Vikings. The series is a masterpiece.
Im a Raiders fan and i swear to god The Tuck Rule feels like it Cursed the Franchise and is one of the biggest episodes of the NFL rules having no consistency.
I think the Tuck rule is probably the greatest thing to happen to the Bucs I imagine it this way. If that didn't happen the Bucs might not have gotten Gruden. And if Brady didn't win he might not have later went to the Bucs since he might not have stayed the starter of the pats. That means both of the Bucs Superbowls gone. Now ik you're a raiders fan but I'm a Bucs fan and this seems like a butterfly effect. Another thing if we didn't get Gruden we might not have passed on Aaron Rodgers and drafted him that would be interesting.
I will almost never say this, but that's the one instance out of all the Patriots Super Bowl appearances where I think I would rather have seen them than their AFC championship opponent, because I don't think Jacksonville would've made it as exciting a game. It still might've been more palatable seeing Blake Bortles vs. Nick Foles though. All-time dream Super Bowl matchup
As an a lifelong Eagles fan right after the historic 2023 Historic Collapse, this video essay feels like an icy cold ice pack being applied to a burn. Phenomenal work here Mr. Perna as usual, really, really such a nice piece for people to enjoy forever.
Divisional is the first round of the playoffs where the real best teams face off. Wild Card has had plenty of thrilling games, but usually a lot of those less interesting games are just trimming the pretenders from the playoffs.
In all honesty, I have resigned myself to the fact that us Vikings fans don't deserve a Superbowl unless every other team wins it before us....I guess that's what happens when you're the great storyteller of the NFL. Always being groomed to make someone else look better and you're the person that they have to tell their story.....I'll still cheer this team on as I've always had since I was 4 years old, but what's the point of being hopeful for something that will inevitably crash down and will be stuck in an endless ocean?
I don’t think any team that’s made it to the superbowl deserves to complain. Vikings have made it four times and no way is the Vikings more tragic than the bills four times back to back
As a RN4L fan ... Tom Brady knows his legacy was built off the made up rule called *The Tuck Rule* (never been the same) 🤮 But, The firing of Josh McDaniels (The 🤡 with No integrity) from our team was a dream come true. And redemption draws near ... THE RAIDER WAY IS BACK ... LET'S GO RAIDERS 2024 ànd BEYOND 3x+🏆🏈
Scott Norwood wide right, 3 blowout Super Bowl loses, the Music City Miracle and 13 seconds will forever be seared into my brain. These experiences prepared me to always expect suffering in life.
Watching the same cities win championships every year in all sports makes it all worse too. It’s like 2 people standing at a roulette table and both putting chips on only 1 number each yet 1 guy keeps winning and the other never does. It’s incomprehensible.
Matt Walsh 😂😂😂😂 wrong lolcow, you're thinking of Blair Walsh Matt Walsh is the one who thinks 16 year olds should have his babies and wrestles Nazis in diapers
My dad was an Oilers fan back in the day and he refuses to talk about it..maybe I’ll get a Warren Moon or Earl Campbell jersey for him for Father’s Day
That Seattle/GB championship game is still the most insane comeback I've seen (at least to me). Wilson went from playing the worst game of his life to suddenly the best. Unfortunately, I do believe Seattle used up all their luck in that game. Had they had the proper luck, Jermaine Kearse would have gotten up from his insane Super Bowl catch and gotten a TD right then and there.
2011 Patriots vs. Ravens has to be the most heartbreaking loss I've seen as a Ravens fan (though 2019 was close). Lee Evans dropping a go ahead TD and Billy Cundiff absolutely shanking a potentially game tying field goal within seconds.
I’m sure every Ravens fan knows exactly where they were when the field goal was shanked. I was in Westminster, CO in a Chili’s with some of my boys and dropped my ribs. Absolutely crushed 😅
2011 was full of heartbreakers. Steelers lose in OT to Tim Tebow. Packers 15-1 season goes one and done. New Orleans goes down to The Catch III. Cudniff shanks the FG. Williams fumbling twice to set up all ten of the Giants second half/OT points.
I have to believe that the only reason Perna left that one off is that the Ravens won the SB the next year, but that loss still haunts us. I'm surprised he left off the Mile High Miracle though. The Broncos wouldn't win for another 3 years after that one.
As a life-long Bengals fan, I gotta say the worst playoff loss we ever had (not counting Super Bowls) was the Wild Card matchup against the Steelers from 2015. We had a backup QB, we weren’t favored to win, the Steelers had the 3rd best offense in the entire league that year, and it rained all night long at then-Paul Brown Stadium. You could honestly fast forward the first 3 quarters of the game, but the fourth quarter was where the game got insanely exciting! Down by 15, we rallied back to take a 1-point lead, Big Ben throws a INT with less than 2 minutes left in the game. All we have to do is just get a first down to force Pittsburgh to burn through all of their timeouts, and we win the game! Then… disaster struck! Jeremy Hill fumbles the ball! Then Burfict and Pacman happen. Oh, God! To this day, I still don’t know how or why Joey Porter didn’t get an unsportsmanlike penalty for going onto field during that whole fiasco with Pacman and the refs. Burfict and Pacman get flagged. Cool. I understand. But they’ve should flagged Porter as well to offset 15 yards of the 30 yards in penalties that were assessed to us for Burfict’s and Pacman’s fouls. Doing that, it would’ve made Boswell’s kick at the end of the game a 50-yarder instead of a 35 yarder. And, with that distance, in the rain, against the wind, Boswell probably doesn’t make that kick and we still win the game. That was an absolute devastating way to lose a playoff game! 1/19 | 5:00 p.m. | EST
@@dirkdiggler4567 I'm a Steelers fan and I fully agree Porter should of gotten flagged but Boswell has kicked a few 50 yarders in snow, rain and colder weather but doesn't mean he would always The worse loss as a Steelers fan was the 2001 to the Patriots because not only because of the story of the team already planning to fly to New Orleans and buying tickets and luggages before the game, no one thought the pats would beat Oakland or even be relevant in that season, but had Cowher had Amos starting instead of Bettis and had Kordell do play action from the beginning instead of in the third quarter they might of won that game The 1994 loss to the chargers not so much as I was a Steelers fan at that point for two years and didn't fully develop my fandom deep enough then The 1997 loss to the broncos didn't because Denver was in the AFC championship game the season prior and it stung but I was realistic
I would think the 2005 Wild Card game against Pittsburg would be the most heart breaking. Had Palmer not been injured by a dirty hit who knows how far the Bengals would have gone.
@@Rockhound6165 when he was hurt we didn't expect to win. We all thought the the 2015 game was over and won. After the heartbreak of the previous playoff losses to finally get over the hump against a hated rival to have it ripped out from under us with seconds left was far worse in a way I can't begin to express
I'm a Packers fan that lives in WI but I was born in MN to a family of deeply devoted Vikings fans. That 1998 playoff loss, the way my family went from exhilarated to crushed in a heartbeat, is why I started rooting for the Packers and to this day can't stand the Vikings. All that team does is bring sadness and heartache to that fanbase.
I worked at a neutral Packers / Vikings bar in Minneapolis (we had too many Wisconsin biker patrons to be a purely Vikings bar). My favorite part of working at a neutral bar was wearing my Steelers jersey, and no matter who won the GB v MN games, the tips were great.
re: Bills Oilers, my sister had several friends and family members over to watch this game. In the third quarter everyone got up (except my sister and sister in law) and went to the racetrack. Haha, they missed the greatest comeback in Bills history. What a great job Brandon on getting and narrating all these highlights. Loved it.
Patrick mahomes has erased the generational trauma of chiefs fans. But between Len Eliot, "Marty ball", the "no punt " game, Mariota competing a td to himself, Jamal Charles concussion game; there were quite a few terrible playoff losses.
As a Chief's fan I wasn't surprised the Chargers failed to win with Marty at the helm. He could get you a 12 win season, but he choked in the playoffs...every year!
The rest of the league will never get it, but that's why this dynasty has been so cathartic. 50 years of failure, incompetence, and heartbreak, and in the end it's all worth it. We were there. We saw the games. We know the pain.
Those logos just get better and better. That girl has the ability to draw them as horribly as possible, and yet still capture the essence of the team while being identifiable. That will never be a playoff heartbreaking loss.
Perna, great video and hey, thanks for showing the Tebow game to put another dagger in the hearts of us Steelers fans. You truly are a cruel and bitter Broncos fan.
@@tomjones2056 Probably right but what does that have to do with this game? It was one of the toughest losses in Steelers playoff history, especially considering that Tebow was basically out of the league by next season.
If Bass had made the FG, the game is tied with 103 seconds, and Mahomes has 2 timeouts. Do you think he doesn't drive down the field and win the game anyway?
As a Saints fan i can understand the pain of playoff losses and thanks for reminding me of the last time we actually had a chance to get Drew another ring. Besides i needed a reason to drink today and you gave me that
My biggest heartbreak as a Bengals fan was when Ja’Marr made Ramsey fall over on the route and was wide open for a walk off TD in the SB… but we decided not to block Aaron Donald and we lost 😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔
Great list. My most heartbreaking playoff experience as a Jets fan was the 2010 AFC Championship against the Steelers. I don't remember much about the game per se, but I remember it being my freshman year of college in Western New York, prime Bills country, and just being mocked by Bills and Steelers fans for the next month. People even threw Steelers terrible towels at me. It was infuriating and I just told myself "No big deal, this team looks so close to going all the way. We got to the championship two years in a row." And the Jets have never made it back to the playoffs since. 13 seasons have passed. I've gone from an 18 year old to a 31 year old. I am in pain. And every passing year makes the memory of the 2009-2010 seasons that much more bittersweet. A close second would be the 1998 AFC Championship when the Broncos beat the Jets. I don't remember much about that, I was only 6 and not paying attention, but the Broncos made my mom cry and I hated them more than any other team for a while after that. It speaks volumes about how great of a content creator Perna is to make me follow his content in spite of being a Broncos fan. (Joking of course, I've got nothing against the Broncos so long as the Bills, Dolphins, and Pats exist).
Those were painful. Even the ones where teams I didn't like were involved. All that hard work all season down the drain in seconds. And you are so witty and energetic that one has to watch the whole thing. Thanks.
Long before Russell Wilson's goal line interception, Matt Hasselback gave us the absolute gem of, "We want the ball, we're gonna score" minutes before throwing a pick six in overtime.
Don't forget the other controversy around the Music City Miracle... benching Doug Flutie, their starter all year who got them there, in favor of backup Rob Johnson 😂
As a browns fan, i was curious to see your perspective on the 80’s losses. My mom always tells me stories about how she hate the broncos and the ravens with every fiber in her being. Good analysis.
I think the Music City miracle was flagged for illegal forward pass, but they reviewed and determined it wasn't. He throws the ball in front of the line and it ends up on it
1) it wasn’t flagged. They did review it to see if there was a penalty, and honestly called it correctly (it’s *very* close, but it at best is a lateral) 2) yours was the first comment I found scrolling about the music city miracle.
@JCDavis314 I don't get the second point, what are you trying to say there? But, I rewatched it like 10 times and to me it looks like it was caught a little behind where it was thrown. Either way, too close to overturn (and it made for a great story)
@@Snickerdoodle06 the second point is that if you look up any clip of the music city miracle, let alone mention it, you’re going to find a bunch of Bills fans in the comments who will try to convince you it was a foreword pass.
Oh my gosh, I love these "history lessons"! Please make more of it❤ I'm from Germany, and I have been following the NFL since around 1996, 1997, but never that closely. So this kind of content is perfect for me to catch up 😊
The recent success of the Chiefs gives some recency bias, but boy oh boy, before 2019 we were a TORTURED fan base let me tell ya. So many playoff heartbreaks they each have a name. The no-punt game. 38-10. The no-TD game. Forward Progress game aka Marcus Mariota game. Dee Ford Offsides game. Lin Elliott game. etc. Winning that 2019 Super Bowl and that playoff run was like exorcising a lifetime's worth of demons as a Chiefs fan.
Came to the comments to look for this. I still have difficulty forgiving Dee Ford’s offsides. I know Lin Elliot missed 3 FGs in a game we lost by 3, but at least he had to physically kick them. All Dee Ford had to do was not line up offside. How fucking hard is that?? To make matters worse, I remember him getting called for that same penalty several times in the previous season, so he should’ve been absolutely frigging aware of it! Ok, I need to go calm down now…
I saw most of those games live. It is interesting that no games from the 60s and 70s made this clip, which might have been worthy of this feature. Highlight: Seeing Moon lose to the Bills since I was on the reverse end of the outcome when Moon was winning CFL championships in the 80s. Lowlight: Having started to follow the Raiders (as a 2nd team) since my Bengals were always out of the playoffs in the 90s and early 2000s, the Raiders loss to NE was a lowlight. Great work Perna!
There's a little bit of context around the "13 Seconds" game that might be relevant -- the Chiefs lost the AFC Championship Mahomes' first year as a starter to Tom Brady's Pats (after the game sealing interception was called back because Dee Ford was lined up offsides) because the Pats won the coin toss and scored first. The Chiefs proposed the rule change to give both teams a possession in the offseason, and no other team supported the change. We were told if we want to win, just play defense.
For Montreal Canadian, its a slow, long and painful bandaid removal. Being from the most dominant and legendary franchise in Hockey history to never even getting close to gain the cup ever again. With the 2020-2021 playoff run, that just rubbing it even further. With Price out of comission and the Tank Bowl ongoing, being a Habs fan is rough nowdays.
"No Super Bowls" Oh, so we don't get to watch the highlights of the time the Seahawks crushed the soul from the Broncos in the Super Bowl? Or when the Patriots broke the Hawks the following year? Or the infamous 28-3 for the Falcons? *sigh* You're no fun sometimes Perna.
Youse kids is ALL wrong.....the Rodger Craig Fumble of 1990, with Niners leading the hated Giants 13-12 late, kept the Niners from three-peating and thus becoming inarguably the greatest franchise in NFL history. That one still hurts.
Don’t worry, you guys got your revenge in the 2002 wild card game with the fumbled snap on the last second FG after blowing a 24 point lead IT WAS PASS INTERFERENCE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A FREE PLAY AND ANOTHER CHANCE AT A WINNING KICK I’m sorry, I got distracted there for a second…
@@KryptoKai72 Incredible observation, you must be a detective. Well we don't have one, but I'd rather have none than one with an asterisk next to it. Haven't done so well since then have ya though? Wierd.
I was in middle school for the 2006 Cowboys/Seahawks game. The amount of swearing my family tossed at the tv after Romo's fumble will be engrained in my head.
The Vikings loss in the 98 championship game scarred me for life. Absolutely sick to my stomach and, to this day when I’m reminded of it, those feelings come back fresh.. Good Gawd that was the worst..
Missing Ravens heartbreaks in this video -The 2011 afc championship Ravens @ Patriots was gutwrenching. Patriots took lead late in the third, and Ravens Lee Evans failed to make the game-winning touchdown on 2nd & 1 and Billy Cundiff missed a 32-yard field goal with 0:11 left in regulation, which would have sent the game into overtime.
Old guy here. Well well well. To all the folks who say the Chiefs get all the breaks, I offer this tidbit. When KC played the Patriots in the AFC championship game in Kansas City in 2019, after MaHomes phenomenal season, they lost in overtime to the Brady led Patriots. NOBODY gave 2 excrements about MaHomes not getting a chance at possessing the ball after KC lost the coin toss. Fast forward to the Buffalo game with KC in the divisional round in 2022, where the Chiefs tie the game with 13 seconds left, then win the coin toss, then score the winning in overtime to defeat the Bills. The EXACT same scenario that benefitted Brady, now benefitted MaHomes, and left Josh Allen and the Bills in the Chiefs spot of 2019. What was the NFL response after that season. They changed the fricken overtime rules for the playoffs for the VERY NEXT season!!!! They didn’t want to address after the Chiefs loss, but they did for the Bills. Interesting to say the least.
Wasn't it a playoff game between the Steelers and Patriots where Jesse James got a touchdown, but they said it wasn't, but if it happened today it would have been? Wasn't that a playoff game? If it was, that game pisses me off more than the Broncos game.
The first time i cried over a football game was the 2009 NFCCG. "Why do you even ponder passing? You can take a knee and try a 56 yard field goal. This aint detroit man, this is the Superbowl!!!"
As a Pats fan, we broke a lot of teams hearts especially in SB but to be humble SB42 really hurts and there's ridiculous LUCK on the Giants final drive
Man i was so happy you did this. I put off watching it till i got my food cooked and sat down with the headphones on just enjoying everyones pain n misery while reliving the moments i watched then BAM! Hit me with the Oiler game 😢🤦😭 EVERY year before my sons football season I made him watch that game! Yes, sadly Years ago right here in Houston, Tx Walmart had that damn game on VHS and I bought it! It should be required watching for every coach/player before every season! NEVER GIVE UP AND NEVER CELEBRATE TOO EARLY😢😂
So how much more pain as a Bills fan needs to be endured before victory. I witnessed the Superbowls, the music city forward lateral, 13seconds just name it.
Man I know I’m late but finding this channel is like when I found Jomboy when he was little. I love the sports guys coming out UA-cam. Loving the content Brandon ❤️
my first season as a football (Cowboys) fan was 2006. I was 13. It ended in that pants-shitting moment where Romo fumbled the game winning field goal snap against the seahawks and tried to run the ball in, only to be tackled at the 1-yard line. That shit was my first dose of true pain as a football fan. It prepped me for all the cowboys playoff chokes to come.
The insane thing about that Bills comeback vs. the Oilers is that it was complete within 1qtr. They trailed 35-3 going into the 3rd qtr and by the beginning of the 4th qtr. they were up 38-35. 5 td in roughly 15 minutes. Thats what was possible with that hurry up offense that they mastered.
Yeah, imo that's the only one that tops the Chiefs' comeback against the Texans in 2019, where they trailed 24-0 in the second quarter and led 28-24 at the half. The Oilers/Titans franchise had a much more rollercoaster-esque postseason in 1999 than 1992 though, because the Miracle Wycheck TD immediately preceded the One Yard Short Super Bowl. The thrill of victory, and the agony of defeat.
As a fellow Broncos' fan I feel a disservice was done by not bringing up the mile high miracle. I went to that game in the bitter cold and felt the pain of that loss in a way that changed my life. It was pay back for that franchise that got burned by us twice moved on and came back to put my hart on ice on that horrible day.
The Bills and Vikings with the pain-off of the century
We truly are one and the same (vikes fan)

The Bills' four straight Super Bowl losses has got to be the cruelest thing I've ever seen in sports, and I used to be a fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs. It boggles the mind that a team could make the final round for four straight years and lose *all* of them.
Incomprehensible. Like, do you feel any hope the fourth time, after three consecutive losses? That's an entire presidential term!
@@goldflame3390for sure. LeBron and the cavs were a 3-1 comeback away from having this happen against the warriors. I wish the bills could have got one their fans deserve it man. Them or the lions best get one this year or pissed.
Well the Leafs haven't a won a Cup since 1967 and have barely even won a playoff game since. They could well be the most horribly mismanaged and unluckiest franchise in sports history.
@@RicoCosta317 The Detroit Lions have that beat by a decade, with only 2 playoff wins since.
@@RicoCosta317 To be fair, the Leafs have won plenty of playoff games since '67; they made it to the Conference Finals four separate times in a decade (1993, '94, '99, and '02).
But they haven't made the Cup Finals since '67, and they went two decades without so much as winning a series (before finally winning one last year)
Still, losing four straight Super Bowls is a type of misery that not even the Leafs have felt. It's the hope that gets you, after all; to be good enough to make four straight championships but somehow not good enough to win any of them is a special type of hell.
I will never forget the trauma I experienced as a Bills fan during 13 seconds. When Gabe scored the go ahead touchdown, what I felt could only be described as unbridled happiness and joy that I had yet to experience in my life as a sports fan. That feeling would then be followed but the most intense stabbing loss I’ve ever felt. I proceeded to black out on my couch and woke up at 3 am still reeling.
Wanna see us do it again
Have someone say 'shoulda ran it' to you as a hawks fan...fml
I didn't sleep for 3 days
It was one of the greatest shoot-out games, ever. So don't be so down. Cause this weekend, the Chiefs are going to repeat it.
That's the announcers fault. "bills win!" He said
as a Saints fan I ain't watching this. I look away every time they show the Minneapolis Miracle, and it's literally every. single. season. multiple times per season, and before every playoff game.
As a colts fan, watching that onside kick every playoff game and Superbowl is pretty old at this point as well.
@@Stye-nz2ziThat’s pretty fair. At least Manning gave y’all some pretty great years. And ever since I’ve always rooted for the colts a little bit. Hopefully AR can give y’all some more consistency next year.

From the highest of highs to the lowest of lows in under five minutes, between Burficts interception and the two penalties.
@@fromthehaven94 it was awful. I'm not excusing the other penalties but if Jeremy Hill doesn't fumble we win the game

I will always say that is the most fucked up game I've ever seen. Not even a fan but.... like wow.... just wow
Dude the irony of the OT change rule in the playoffs for the Bills then led to the chiefs being able to respond in the SB is kind of crazy
No bruh. Just no. You made a valiant attempt use the word “irony” correctly, I’ll give you that, however…
“Irony” is the Chiefs proposing both teams get one possession in OT after losing in the playoffs to the Patriots without Mahomes ever getting a chance to touch the ball.
The NFL denied the proposal.
The very next season the Chiefs beat the Bills in the playoffs without Allen ever getting a chance to touch the ball in OT.
That is irony.
(Not to mention that the 49ers would have needed to score a TD in OT to make your point valid. They kicked a FG bruh.)
Honorable mention to Seahawks @ Vikings 2015, a terrible missed kick from Minnesota in the waning seconds of the Wild Card round. Mind you, the kicker was the only reason they put points up the entire game!
When this happened, I was in the 8th grade and had a really great Science teacher. He was funny and wicked smart, and he'd start the day with news roundups and a bit of football talk. He's also a massive Vikings fan, and this year, he was excited. Of course, being in the Bay Area, he'd remind us that the Niners and Raiders were in the mix, but no one doubted his alliegance. He knew this team could do it this year.
On the drive to school, I heard the playcall on the morning radio, and my heart sank. Literally the entire day he had people telling him they were so sorry, that was a terrible miss, they had nothing but empathy for him. But he smiled, said "we've been here before", and kept on trucking. To this day I am a Vikings fan for him and him alone. A cursed team. A team that cannot have nice things. But the team I want to see win it all regardless.
The funniest thing was that Blair Walsh would end up on the Seahawks two years later, after they parted ways with Steven Haushka (there's also a hilarious story there too, but that doesn't have anything to do with playoffs). He proceeded to be bad for the Seahawks and was cut after that year, his last year in the NFL.
Thank you Perna, as a Vikings fan I was feeling a little too good today. I needed this to remind me that my life sucks.
As a fan of the Saints, I will never forgive Stefon Diggs. Fortunately since I'm also a Chiefs fan I got to see him lose in heartbreaking fashion just a couple years later.
As a Saints fan, having to go through heartbreaking playoffs losses is terrible but I could take that over blowing a big lead in the Super Bowl. Hi Atlanta.
Damn ya didn't have to do that lol
@@ealmond9046I don't care because Falcons suck and they deserve all the disrespect and misery. Dirty birds can eat my shorts.
Southern Fried HEAT
I honestly think the beastquake game was just as bad as the other losses considering we were defending Champs and the Seahawks were like 7 and 9 or something lol.
It's funny how for every incredible legendary play that everyone remembers, there's always one fanbase that can't enjoy it.@@jamellrobinson2325
The Vikings are heartbreak. They are the cruelty of hope.
The Lions make you depressed, the Browns make you sad, the Jets make you laugh through tears. But the Vikings ... they make you believe. They make you open yourself to them. They will take you to the greatest height, and right when you finally start to believe, they will kick you off without a parachute.
The Vikings are ranked near the top in all-time playoff appearances and division titles. They are remarkably consistent, having produced Super Bowl contenders every decade. Their players litter the Hall of Fame like stars in the sky. By almost every metric, the Vikings are one of the most successful teams in NFL history ... except in Super Bowl rings.
Because cruelty, thy name is the Vikings.
My friend is a Vikings fan and I always quote Paul Allen's famous rant at Brett Favre's pick in New Orleans (The "This is not Detroit man, this is the Superbowl" line)
He laughs every time and he said "Best to laugh at the pain of being a Vikings fan than to loathe sometimes "
If you, random person reading comments, don't believe this is true for the Vikings, then the proof is a 7-part, 8-hour docu-series by Jon Bois on the history of the Vikings. The series is a masterpiece.
@@Chuck_EL my favorite Paul Allen meltdown is..."Touch...touchdown! NO! NO!"
@@PhriedahIt's only been out for a short time and I think I've already watched it three times. Jon Bois is an absolutely masterful storyteller
That's because Hell is about despair and despair comes from hope. The Purple Incarnation of Satan feeds on its fans' hope.
Go Pack Go.
Im a Raiders fan and i swear to god The Tuck Rule feels like it Cursed the Franchise and is one of the biggest episodes of the NFL rules having no consistency.
It balances out the years of the Raiders cheating, moving and being an all around POS franchise.
@@michaelreich4827😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@michaelreich4827 you sound like your team ended below us in the division.....
I think the Tuck rule is probably the greatest thing to happen to the Bucs I imagine it this way. If that didn't happen the Bucs might not have gotten Gruden. And if Brady didn't win he might not have later went to the Bucs since he might not have stayed the starter of the pats. That means both of the Bucs Superbowls gone. Now ik you're a raiders fan but I'm a Bucs fan and this seems like a butterfly effect. Another thing if we didn't get Gruden we might not have passed on Aaron Rodgers and drafted him that would be interesting.
Let's be honest. Al Davis cursed the Raiders.
Thank you for bringing up 13 seconds again right before we face them on Sunday. I'm sure that it won't be a bad omen or anything .......
As a jags fan, the loss in the AFC Championship to the Pats in 2018 was gut wrenching
THIS
I will almost never say this, but that's the one instance out of all the Patriots Super Bowl appearances where I think I would rather have seen them than their AFC championship opponent, because I don't think Jacksonville would've made it as exciting a game. It still might've been more palatable seeing Blake Bortles vs. Nick Foles though. All-time dream Super Bowl matchup
As an a lifelong Eagles fan right after the historic 2023 Historic Collapse, this video essay feels like an icy cold ice pack being applied to a burn. Phenomenal work here Mr. Perna as usual, really, really such a nice piece for people to enjoy forever.

@@christophermanley3602 fair assessment
Yes the Divisional Round has historically had some truly heartbreaking losses
Divisional is the first round of the playoffs where the real best teams face off. Wild Card has had plenty of thrilling games, but usually a lot of those less interesting games are just trimming the pretenders from the playoffs.
@@alexanderliu9376 agreed. Only top teams make it to the divisional round

Bills fan here please no Perna
Seahawk fan here, I'm begging you...please don't. 😂
shoulda ran the ball😂
In all honesty, I have resigned myself to the fact that us Vikings fans don't deserve a Superbowl unless every other team wins it before us....I guess that's what happens when you're the great storyteller of the NFL. Always being groomed to make someone else look better and you're the person that they have to tell their story.....I'll still cheer this team on as I've always had since I was 4 years old, but what's the point of being hopeful for something that will inevitably crash down and will be stuck in an endless ocean?
I don’t think any team that’s made it to the superbowl deserves to complain. Vikings have made it four times and no way is the Vikings more tragic than the bills four times back to back
As a Lions fan, there's a good chance we'll get one before you guys go! 😂😊
@@nickfifteenlmaooo one good season and now you guys are allowed to talk shit? Can’t wait till I can scream same old lions 😂
I've been saying we will likely be the last team to win a Superbowl. MN sports is cursed.
@@imanoldurango8213 At least in one or two of those Superbowls, the Buffalo Bills had a chance to win. The Vikings were never close at any point.
That damn tuck rule still haunts me to this day. Was only a child when this happened but still remember every moment from it.
As a RN4L fan ... Tom Brady knows his legacy was built off the made up rule called *The Tuck Rule* (never been the same) 🤮 But, The firing of Josh McDaniels (The 🤡 with No integrity) from our team was a dream come true.
And redemption draws near ...
THE RAIDER WAY IS BACK ...
LET'S GO RAIDERS 2024 ànd BEYOND 3x+🏆🏈
Scott Norwood wide right, 3 blowout Super Bowl loses, the Music City Miracle and 13 seconds will forever be seared into my brain. These experiences prepared me to always expect suffering in life.
real
This year though, you will beat the Chiefs.....right?
@@sunny1992s I laughed because I'm not capable of expecting success. I love the Bills, but that doesn't mean I believe in them.
If we win the superbowl this year we can finally lay all of that to rest 😢😢
Watching the same cities win championships every year in all sports makes it all worse too. It’s like 2 people standing at a roulette table and both putting chips on only 1 number each yet 1 guy keeps winning and the other never does. It’s incomprehensible.
As a bills fan, that 13 second game still haunts me and makes me sick to this day.
Packers fans can't think about the 2014 Seahawks game without PTSD and piercing pain throughout the body.
I had to skip through that part
Sweet revenge for:
"We want the ball and we're gonna score"
You missed the Double Doink on Bears vs Eagles and Matt Walsh miss a 9 yard field goal vs Seattle. That's a heartbreaking moment
Pls don't remind me
Matt Walsh 😂😂😂😂 wrong lolcow, you're thinking of Blair Walsh
Matt Walsh is the one who thinks 16 year olds should have his babies and wrestles Nazis in diapers
Blair Walsh missed a 27 yarder
No Senor! No Senor!
I was so happy the double doink wasnt included. Dont ruin my happiness
I am a long time Chiefs fan. So I remember pre Mahomes years. 50 of them. 50 years of hell. 50 years of pain.
So right now is fantastic.
The Comback still still makes me cry. When you are up 35-3 with 13:00 minutes left in the third quarter, you just run the ball.
Not if you're the Run and Shoot, where running is optional.
Same here.. I will never get over that one...
As a Houstonian that loss will hurt so much. Just as much as that 24-0 blown lead against KC in 2019
My dad was an Oilers fan back in the day and he refuses to talk about it..maybe I’ll get a Warren Moon or Earl Campbell jersey for him for Father’s Day
@@imhotepnixon that was probably the lowest point in all of the major sports teams here in Houston, IMO
That Seattle/GB championship game is still the most insane comeback I've seen (at least to me). Wilson went from playing the worst game of his life to suddenly the best. Unfortunately, I do believe Seattle used up all their luck in that game. Had they had the proper luck, Jermaine Kearse would have gotten up from his insane Super Bowl catch and gotten a TD right then and there.
I'm kinda surprised the broncos playoff loss against elite flacco didn't make this list
Some elite prevent D
As a huge peyton fan ... that hail flacco killed me
The Jacoby Show you mean?
2011 Patriots vs. Ravens has to be the most heartbreaking loss I've seen as a Ravens fan (though 2019 was close). Lee Evans dropping a go ahead TD and Billy Cundiff absolutely shanking a potentially game tying field goal within seconds.
It haunts me
I’m sure every Ravens fan knows exactly where they were when the field goal was shanked. I was in Westminster, CO in a Chili’s with some of my boys and dropped my ribs. Absolutely crushed 😅
2011 was full of heartbreakers. Steelers lose in OT to Tim Tebow. Packers 15-1 season goes one and done. New Orleans goes down to The Catch III. Cudniff shanks the FG. Williams fumbling twice to set up all ten of the Giants second half/OT points.
I've been trying to repress this awful memory ever since... Thanks for bringing it back up...
I have to believe that the only reason Perna left that one off is that the Ravens won the SB the next year, but that loss still haunts us.
I'm surprised he left off the Mile High Miracle though. The Broncos wouldn't win for another 3 years after that one.
As a life-long Bengals fan, I gotta say the worst playoff loss we ever had (not counting Super Bowls) was the Wild Card matchup against the Steelers from 2015. We had a backup QB, we weren’t favored to win, the Steelers had the 3rd best offense in the entire league that year, and it rained all night long at then-Paul Brown Stadium. You could honestly fast forward the first 3 quarters of the game, but the fourth quarter was where the game got insanely exciting! Down by 15, we rallied back to take a 1-point lead, Big Ben throws a INT with less than 2 minutes left in the game. All we have to do is just get a first down to force Pittsburgh to burn through all of their timeouts, and we win the game! Then… disaster struck! Jeremy Hill fumbles the ball! Then Burfict and Pacman happen. Oh, God!
To this day, I still don’t know how or why Joey Porter didn’t get an unsportsmanlike penalty for going onto field during that whole fiasco with Pacman and the refs. Burfict and Pacman get flagged. Cool. I understand. But they’ve should flagged Porter as well to offset 15 yards of the 30 yards in penalties that were assessed to us for Burfict’s and Pacman’s fouls. Doing that, it would’ve made Boswell’s kick at the end of the game a 50-yarder instead of a 35 yarder. And, with that distance, in the rain, against the wind, Boswell probably doesn’t make that kick and we still win the game.
That was an absolute devastating way to lose a playoff game!
1/19 | 5:00 p.m. | EST
As a lifelong Bengals fan, that game literally made me quit watching football for a few years.
@@dirkdiggler4567
I'm a Steelers fan and I fully agree Porter should of gotten flagged but Boswell has kicked a few 50 yarders in snow, rain and colder weather but doesn't mean he would always
The worse loss as a Steelers fan was the 2001 to the Patriots because not only because of the story of the team already planning to fly to New Orleans and buying tickets and luggages before the game, no one thought the pats would beat Oakland or even be relevant in that season, but had Cowher had Amos starting instead of Bettis and had Kordell do play action from the beginning instead of in the third quarter they might of won that game
The 1994 loss to the chargers not so much as I was a Steelers fan at that point for two years and didn't fully develop my fandom deep enough then
The 1997 loss to the broncos didn't because Denver was in the AFC championship game the season prior and it stung but I was realistic
This loss caused me to shred every piece of Bengals gear I had. I swar I would never watch the Bengals again.
I was back for the start of 2016
I would think the 2005 Wild Card game against Pittsburg would be the most heart breaking. Had Palmer not been injured by a dirty hit who knows how far the Bengals would have gone.
@@Rockhound6165 when he was hurt we didn't expect to win. We all thought the the 2015 game was over and won. After the heartbreak of the previous playoff losses to finally get over the hump against a hated rival to have it ripped out from under us with seconds left was far worse in a way I can't begin to express
You forgot my Ravens vs Pats and the Lee Evans, Billy Cundiff choke
I'm a Packers fan that lives in WI but I was born in MN to a family of deeply devoted Vikings fans. That 1998 playoff loss, the way my family went from exhilarated to crushed in a heartbeat, is why I started rooting for the Packers and to this day can't stand the Vikings. All that team does is bring sadness and heartache to that fanbase.
You guys must have Thanksgiving across a security glass divider.
I worked at a neutral Packers / Vikings bar in Minneapolis (we had too many Wisconsin biker patrons to be a purely Vikings bar). My favorite part of working at a neutral bar was wearing my Steelers jersey, and no matter who won the GB v MN games, the tips were great.
But we all had the lions in our division the whole time. now they won. be nice to see GB at DET for NFC Championship.(COUGH) See GB at CHI for....
Sir, im a lifetime Bears fan. You only sniffed true heartbreak...i was born in it. 😂😂😂😂
@@thetrapboy i only remember the good stuff.
Special Teams haven’t been the same since Hester.
re: Bills Oilers, my sister had several friends and family members over to watch this game. In the third quarter everyone got up (except my sister and sister in law) and went to the racetrack. Haha, they missed the greatest comeback in Bills history. What a great job Brandon on getting and narrating all these highlights. Loved it.
It baffles me how franchises are so quick to blame the coach for any mistake and fire them. Even though they led the team to amazing records
Like Dan Quinn? When really the problem was Dimitroff, Sark and everyone else.
Patrick mahomes has erased the generational trauma of chiefs fans. But between Len Eliot, "Marty ball", the "no punt " game, Mariota competing a td to himself, Jamal Charles concussion game; there were quite a few terrible playoff losses.
As a Chief's fan I wasn't surprised the Chargers failed to win with Marty at the helm. He could get you a 12 win season, but he choked in the playoffs...every year!
@@EmmaChihuahua81 Marty could get any 53 men to the playoffs, and lose every time.
The rest of the league will never get it, but that's why this dynasty has been so cathartic. 50 years of failure, incompetence, and heartbreak, and in the end it's all worth it. We were there. We saw the games. We know the pain.
It was the drive and the fumble to the older generation, now it's the no call helmet-to-helmet 💀
45 years of pain. As a Browns fan . That's why I hate Denver. Maybe in my lifetime I will experience a super bowl win or appearance for my Browns 😢😂😢
As a Failcons fan, I cried for you.
Those logos just get better and better. That girl has the ability to draw them as horribly as possible, and yet still capture the essence of the team while being identifiable. That will never be a playoff heartbreaking loss.
The 13 second game haunts me to this day.
Its Frank Wycheck, not Steve. May he rest in peace.
And it was also a backwards pass, no doubt about it. I don't know why he said there was doubt about it.
Definitely a backwards pass. And also came here to correct it as Frank. RIP
Perna, great video and hey, thanks for showing the Tebow game to put another dagger in the hearts of us Steelers fans. You truly are a cruel and bitter Broncos fan.
The idea that you had any chance against the pats is ridiculous
@@tomjones2056 Probably right but what does that have to do with this game? It was one of the toughest losses in Steelers playoff history, especially considering that Tebow was basically out of the league by next season.
For every tear of pain, there is screams of joy.
Bro the fact that the titans was In the the wild card with a 13 and 3 record is crazy
I love how the commanders are left out of this......
Because being a commanders fan is pain.
It's going to take a while to clear that Snyder Stench. . . .
Well you gotta make the playoffs first in order to lose in heartbreaking fashion…
Tyler bass dodged a bullet with this release date
If Bass had made the FG, the game is tied with 103 seconds, and Mahomes has 2 timeouts. Do you think he doesn't drive down the field and win the game anyway?
Watching Vinatieri make the game winner in SB 38 was the first time I cried for my team and was introduced to the pain that is being a Panthers fan
As a Saints fan i can understand the pain of playoff losses and thanks for reminding me of the last time we actually had a chance to get Drew another ring. Besides i needed a reason to drink today and you gave me that
A true Saints fan never needs a reason to drink (inb4 the "cheers, I'll drink to that" comments)
As a Failcons fan, I was *PISSED* because there’s no player I respect more than Drew and I would have DIED just to see a Brady-Brees Super Bowl.
The Immaculate Reception and The Tuck Rule are draped over the shoulders of Raider Nation like twin shrouds.
My biggest heartbreak as a Bengals fan was when Ja’Marr made Ramsey fall over on the route and was wide open for a walk off TD in the SB… but we decided not to block Aaron Donald and we lost 😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔
Great list. My most heartbreaking playoff experience as a Jets fan was the 2010 AFC Championship against the Steelers. I don't remember much about the game per se, but I remember it being my freshman year of college in Western New York, prime Bills country, and just being mocked by Bills and Steelers fans for the next month. People even threw Steelers terrible towels at me. It was infuriating and I just told myself "No big deal, this team looks so close to going all the way. We got to the championship two years in a row." And the Jets have never made it back to the playoffs since. 13 seasons have passed. I've gone from an 18 year old to a 31 year old. I am in pain. And every passing year makes the memory of the 2009-2010 seasons that much more bittersweet.
A close second would be the 1998 AFC Championship when the Broncos beat the Jets. I don't remember much about that, I was only 6 and not paying attention, but the Broncos made my mom cry and I hated them more than any other team for a while after that. It speaks volumes about how great of a content creator Perna is to make me follow his content in spite of being a Broncos fan. (Joking of course, I've got nothing against the Broncos so long as the Bills, Dolphins, and Pats exist).
The Steelers walkoff Troy Polamalu INT against a rookie Joe and rookie Harbaugh was so rough
Those were painful. Even the ones where teams I didn't like were involved. All that hard work all season down the drain in seconds. And you are so witty and energetic that one has to watch the whole thing. Thanks.
The Bills managed to continue their streak with another heartbreaker for the fans who now wish all their misery on kicker Tyler Bass. So close. Ouch.
I keep seeing this type of vids pop up right before the Bills vs chiefs game tomorrow and it’s making me worried 😆
That cardiac arrest line about the bills was something else lol
Long before Russell Wilson's goal line interception, Matt Hasselback gave us the absolute gem of, "We want the ball, we're gonna score" minutes before throwing a pick six in overtime.
It was beautiful.
Don't forget the other controversy around the Music City Miracle... benching Doug Flutie, their starter all year who got them there, in favor of backup Rob Johnson 😂
As a browns fan, i was curious to see your perspective on the 80’s losses. My mom always tells me stories about how she hate the broncos and the ravens with every fiber in her being. Good analysis.
I think the Music City miracle was flagged for illegal forward pass, but they reviewed and determined it wasn't. He throws the ball in front of the line and it ends up on it
1) it wasn’t flagged. They did review it to see if there was a penalty, and honestly called it correctly (it’s *very* close, but it at best is a lateral)
2) yours was the first comment I found scrolling about the music city miracle.
@JCDavis314 I don't get the second point, what are you trying to say there?
But, I rewatched it like 10 times and to me it looks like it was caught a little behind where it was thrown. Either way, too close to overturn (and it made for a great story)
@@Snickerdoodle06 the second point is that if you look up any clip of the music city miracle, let alone mention it, you’re going to find a bunch of Bills fans in the comments who will try to convince you it was a foreword pass.
@JCDavis314 ah I get you. Yeah it's very close lol. I can't blame people for being mad, but I think they got it right
Oh my gosh, I love these "history lessons"! Please make more of it❤
I'm from Germany, and I have been following the NFL since around 1996, 1997, but never that closely.
So this kind of content is perfect for me to catch up 😊
The recent success of the Chiefs gives some recency bias, but boy oh boy, before 2019 we were a TORTURED fan base let me tell ya. So many playoff heartbreaks they each have a name. The no-punt game. 38-10. The no-TD game. Forward Progress game aka Marcus Mariota game. Dee Ford Offsides game. Lin Elliott game. etc. Winning that 2019 Super Bowl and that playoff run was like exorcising a lifetime's worth of demons as a Chiefs fan.
Came to the comments to look for this. I still have difficulty forgiving Dee Ford’s offsides. I know Lin Elliot missed 3 FGs in a game we lost by 3, but at least he had to physically kick them.
All Dee Ford had to do was not line up offside. How fucking hard is that?? To make matters worse, I remember him getting called for that same penalty several times in the previous season, so he should’ve been absolutely frigging aware of it!
Ok, I need to go calm down now…
This channel matching up with “A Closer Look”. So well done Perna. Love it!!!!
how as a broncos fan could you forget about the mile high miracle when the ravens went on to win the superbowl?
I saw most of those games live. It is interesting that no games from the 60s and 70s made this clip, which might have been worthy of this feature.
Highlight:
Seeing Moon lose to the Bills since I was on the reverse end of the outcome when Moon was winning CFL championships in the 80s.
Lowlight:
Having started to follow the Raiders (as a 2nd team) since my Bengals were always out of the playoffs in the 90s and early 2000s, the Raiders loss to NE was a lowlight.
Great work Perna!
What about the Jakobi Jones game vs the broncos
There's a little bit of context around the "13 Seconds" game that might be relevant -- the Chiefs lost the AFC Championship Mahomes' first year as a starter to Tom Brady's Pats (after the game sealing interception was called back because Dee Ford was lined up offsides) because the Pats won the coin toss and scored first. The Chiefs proposed the rule change to give both teams a possession in the offseason, and no other team supported the change. We were told if we want to win, just play defense.
You can add new chapters to the packers and bills.. after this weekend
For Montreal Canadian, its a slow, long and painful bandaid removal.
Being from the most dominant and legendary franchise in Hockey history to never even getting close to gain the cup ever again.
With the 2020-2021 playoff run, that just rubbing it even further. With Price out of comission and the Tank Bowl ongoing, being a Habs fan is rough nowdays.
"No Super Bowls"
Oh, so we don't get to watch the highlights of the time the Seahawks crushed the soul from the Broncos in the Super Bowl?
Or when the Patriots broke the Hawks the following year?
Or the infamous 28-3 for the Falcons?
*sigh* You're no fun sometimes Perna.
As a philly I'm not a big fan of the last few minutes of that superbowl.
Ill never forget watching the Seattle/Green Bay comeback. Seeing the fake field goal pass to Gillium, standing up and cheering screaming 'WHO?!?!'
Youse kids is ALL wrong.....the Rodger Craig Fumble of 1990, with Niners leading the hated Giants 13-12 late, kept the Niners from three-peating and thus becoming inarguably the greatest franchise in NFL history. That one still hurts.
Don’t worry, you guys got your revenge in the 2002 wild card game with the fumbled snap on the last second FG after blowing a 24 point lead IT WAS PASS INTERFERENCE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A FREE PLAY AND ANOTHER CHANCE AT A WINNING KICK I’m sorry, I got distracted there for a second…
But then the Giants got revenge for 2002 with the 2011 NFCCG and the Kyle Williams muffed punts
As a Seahawks fan - We're good. We don't need an episode about heartbreaking Super Bowl losses. Thanks for the offer.

The Vikings loss in the 98 championship game scarred me for life. Absolutely sick to my stomach and, to this day when I’m reminded of it, those feelings come back fresh.. Good Gawd that was the worst..
Missing Ravens heartbreaks in this video -The 2011 afc championship Ravens @ Patriots was gutwrenching. Patriots took lead late in the third, and Ravens Lee Evans failed to make the game-winning touchdown on 2nd & 1 and Billy Cundiff missed a 32-yard field goal with 0:11 left in regulation, which would have sent the game into overtime.
Old guy here. Well well well. To all the folks who say the Chiefs get all the breaks, I offer this tidbit.
When KC played the Patriots in the AFC championship game in Kansas City in 2019, after MaHomes phenomenal season, they lost in overtime to the Brady led Patriots. NOBODY gave 2 excrements about MaHomes not getting a chance at possessing the ball after KC lost the coin toss.
Fast forward to the Buffalo game with KC in the divisional round in 2022, where the Chiefs tie the game with 13 seconds left, then win the coin toss, then score the winning in overtime to defeat the Bills.
The EXACT same scenario that benefitted Brady, now benefitted MaHomes, and left Josh Allen and the Bills in the Chiefs spot of 2019.
What was the NFL response after that season. They changed the fricken overtime rules for the playoffs for the VERY NEXT season!!!! They didn’t want to address after the Chiefs loss, but they did for the Bills. Interesting to say the least.
Tebow beating the Steelers hurts me more than anything. True pain in steeler country
On the other side, we saw one of the most spectacular plays in playoff history... Rest In Peace, Demaryius Thomas.
He's dead?
@@kenw2225 DT died back December of 2021 from a seizure.

Wasn't it a playoff game between the Steelers and Patriots where Jesse James got a touchdown, but they said it wasn't, but if it happened today it would have been? Wasn't that a playoff game? If it was, that game pisses me off more than the Broncos game.
The first time i cried over a football game was the 2009 NFCCG. "Why do you even ponder passing? You can take a knee and try a 56 yard field goal. This aint detroit man, this is the Superbowl!!!"

EVERY year before my sons football season I made him watch that game! Yes, sadly Years ago right here in Houston, Tx Walmart had that damn game on VHS and I bought it! It should be required watching for every coach/player before every season! NEVER GIVE UP AND NEVER CELEBRATE TOO EARLY😢😂
Not sure if it’s an all timer, but thanks for leaving the Double Doink off this list
So how much more pain as a Bills fan needs to be endured before victory. I witnessed the Superbowls, the music city forward lateral, 13seconds just name it.
If you have a Super Bowl win, you aren’t allowed to claim anything is heartbreaking.
Thank you for NOT forcing me to relive the Titans / Rams Super Bowl loss. I still have not recovered 😢
I would hand you a kleenex, but you seem to be a yard short from me to reach it.
Man I know I’m late but finding this channel is like when I found Jomboy when he was little. I love the sports guys coming out UA-cam. Loving the content Brandon ❤️
You cursed the bills perna 😢, you put diggs on the cover 😅
Love you BP, keep up the fantastic content!
my first season as a football (Cowboys) fan was 2006. I was 13. It ended in that pants-shitting moment where Romo fumbled the game winning field goal snap against the seahawks and tried to run the ball in, only to be tackled at the 1-yard line. That shit was my first dose of true pain as a football fan. It prepped me for all the cowboys playoff chokes to come.
The insane thing about that Bills comeback vs. the Oilers is that it was complete within 1qtr.
They trailed 35-3 going into the 3rd qtr and by the beginning of the 4th qtr. they were up 38-35.
5 td in roughly 15 minutes. Thats what was possible with that hurry up offense that they mastered.
Yeah, imo that's the only one that tops the Chiefs' comeback against the Texans in 2019, where they trailed 24-0 in the second quarter and led 28-24 at the half.
The Oilers/Titans franchise had a much more rollercoaster-esque postseason in 1999 than 1992 though, because the Miracle Wycheck TD immediately preceded the One Yard Short Super Bowl. The thrill of victory, and the agony of defeat.
1:42 I can only imagine a young Brandon making a vhs video about how this was the worst game ever
We need a sequel to this lol
I was only just getting into football when I watched the “13 Seconds Game” and it’s still one of the most insane things I’ve ever seen in football
As a fellow Broncos' fan I feel a disservice was done by not bringing up the mile high miracle. I went to that game in the bitter cold and felt the pain of that loss in a way that changed my life. It was pay back for that franchise that got burned by us twice moved on and came back to put my hart on ice on that horrible day.
So what I’m seeing is that the saints, bills, and Vikings, are both the luckiest and unluckiest teams in our great sport. God I love being a bills fan
11:44 didn’t Love just do this same throw to end the 9ers game?
You're the only sports talk I watch or listen to.
who else is coming back to this vid after the packers loss to niners 🙋♂️
