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.

@@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.

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.

[@wicklebee]

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.

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.

[@khamjaninja.]

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.

[@thepubknight6144]

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 "

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

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.

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

[@JCDavis314]

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.

[@Snickerdoodle06]

@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)

[@JCDavis314]

@@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.

What about the Jakobi Jones game vs the broncos

[@chancellor05]

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.

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

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…

It should be required watching for every coach/player before every season! NEVER GIVE UP AND NEVER CELEBRATE TOO EARLY😢😂

[@EdgeyvonKarma]

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).

[@inappropriatejohnson]

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.

[@jman2050]

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…

[@bigbenravens]

how as a broncos fan could you forget about the mile high miracle when the ravens went on to win the superbowl?

[@OttawaRocks]

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!

[@ryanwhirty1915]

The Music City Miracle was a lateral, not a forward pass. The position of the two players on the field makes it seem like it was a forward pass, but when you factor in Wychek’s throwing motion and where Dyson caught the ball relative to his (Dyson’s) body, it went slightly backward. It was the right call. Anyway, going back further, the 1971 AFC Divisional playoff game between the Dolphins and Chiefs had to sting the Chiefs because it was a double overtime loss. But fate turned on the Dolphins 11 years later when they lost to the Air Coryell Chargers nearly 14 minutes into overtime. The game in Miami had been an absolute slugfest in searing heat, too. One player said after the game that it was the closest to death he’d ever felt.

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.

[@dfp_01]

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.
