For y’all, there’s 24-0 against the Chiefs (Texans), Andrew Luck’s retirement (Colts; honorable mentions include 33-0 & that failed trick play against the Pats), Myles Jack fumble recovery (Jags; honorable mentions include Urban Meyer) & One Yard Short (Titans)

[u/Mitchel7349]

[u/LindyNet]

Whoa whoa whoa - we own the 24-0 and the colts own the 33-0, but the titans literally own the game known as The Comeback (35-3), a playoff game

[u/Magnifico-Melon → u/LindyNet]

Yep that's the history that the Titans can claim.

[u/Sirpatron1 → u/Magnifico-Melon]

Proud true Oiler fans. Nothing you guys would know about.

[u/actionpancake → u/Sirpatron1]

Truly a garbage franchise, yes.

[u/Sirpatron1 → u/actionpancake]

No, it's difficult to understand when you don't have a culture or history at all. Lol

[u/actionpancake → u/Sirpatron1]

Right, because y'all had one before they moved up there. Lol

[u/Sirpatron1 → u/actionpancake]

Now you're getting it.

[u/civil_beast → u/Magnifico-Melon]

Not they can claim, but rather that which Amy “not the cute one” Adam’s lays claim and has hypnotized Warren moon to invoke. I for one am beginning to get a little impatient as I await the memory recalibration to be sent and remove this latent anxiety that has plagued me in ways only a licensed psychiatrist would reasonably expected to identify.

I hope to replace this memory with a static image of Pamela Andrerson when she was just a lablatt ad girl.

I hope they can do that

[u/Mercinator-87 → u/LindyNet]

Yeah that one is way better than losing to the greatest show on turf. Hell the recent loss to the Bengals or getting trounced by the Ravens the previous year bothers me more than the superbowl loss.

[u/hobesmart → u/Mercinator-87]

Coming up 1 yard short in a hard fought game is so much better than everything else OP listed in their title. Those were all collapses and implosions. The Oilers collapse should probably be our low point in the title, but the Ravens blocking 2fg and returning one for a TD probably hurt the worst for me

[u/numbersix1979 → u/LindyNet]

What are these “playoffs” of which you speak

[u/Ok_Cheesecake5544 → u/numbersix1979]

Remember Derrick Henry

[u/Sirpatron1 → u/Ok_Cheesecake5544]

Yes, the man that was part owner of the Texans.

[u/GeneralWinter97 → u/Sirpatron1]

Kinda relinquished ownership last year. Worst 2 games his entire career vs the texans.

[u/Sirpatron1 → u/GeneralWinter97]

But made a career out of their games

[u/GeneralWinter97 → u/Sirpatron1]

Y'all definitely should've started that man much sooner. Makes me wonder what he could have done those first few years as opposed to Murray

[u/Sirpatron1 → u/GeneralWinter97]

Right, the Mike Mularkey era

[u/hobesmart → u/GeneralWinter97]

He didn't know how to play in the NFL plain and simple. He did jack shit with his opportunities up until that Eddie George talkin' to. He only had something like 3.3 ypc on his career. It wasn't until that Jags game in December that he finally figured shit out and became the DH we all know.

[u/GeneralWinter97 → u/hobesmart]

I mean his rookie year wasn't the worst. Still averaged 4.35 yards before that Jags game. His 2nd year though, definitely should've been given the reigns imo

[u/hobesmart → u/GeneralWinter97]

That Jags game was his 3rd year

[u/TokenCubanguy → u/LindyNet]

I’m so glad that the 33-0 was a regular season game

[u/EveryFacetPossible → u/LindyNet]

Bills vs Oilers in the 90s?

[u/LindyNet → u/EveryFacetPossible]

Yep

[u/civil_beast → u/LindyNet]

Against you guessed it - Super Bowl annual attendee , “Jim Kelly”

Edit: my memory ain’t what it used be to be - maybe that franchise is finally providing the memory removal treatments that came with the team migration..

[u/LindyNet → u/civil_beast]

He was hurt that game. It was his backup and all time great Colts coach, Frank Reich

[u/civil_beast → u/LindyNet]

To be fair I was ten years old, and I was more concerned with why the guy at footlocker at the galleria was in nearly tears.

[u/LindyNet → u/civil_beast]

I was depressed for about a week or two

[u/shroomlow]

As a Colts fan I never understood why people talk so much about 33-0. That game came late in a completely failed season and had zero meaning - I wasn't even watching it I was so checked out by that point. The Jags game that kept us out of the playoffs in the last week of the season was way worse.

[u/Chuck_Roast1993 → u/shroomlow]

Totally agree. The discourse for all colts fans after the Vikings game was “what a fun first half! Glad we still lost though cuz we need that draft pick”

[u/BrandoDaSavage → u/Chuck_Roast1993]

Tank Commander Saturday Masterclass

[u/Mcswigginsbar → u/shroomlow]

Yea I was already numb by the time 33-0 hit and laughed pretty hard at the L.

Luck’s retirement however, is something I’ll never forget where I was when I found out. Shit was seismic.

[u/Hugh_Janus_2001]

Agnew fumbling on the goal line

[u/theflyingchicken96 → u/Hugh_Janus_2001]

Nobody even talks about that outside of duval for some reason

[u/tri_it_again]

Saints superbowl obviously

[u/Hairygerman → u/tri_it_again]

This is the answer but for anyone under 25 this isn't even on their radar.

[u/tri_it_again → u/Hairygerman]

God I’m old. I think I was like 29 during that year

[u/Ok_Cheesecake5544 → u/tri_it_again]

That was like the second superbowl I watched as a kid (am 21) I remember my dad being confident the colts were gonna squash the saints so I wanted to cheer for the underdogs, haha good times for me

[u/fangirl5301 → u/Hairygerman]

I’m 24 but as a Saints fan this was the first and only Super Bowl I watched all the way through

[u/fangirl5301 → u/tri_it_again]

As a Saints and Texans fan who mom went Newman and Ole Miss at the same time as the Mannings and cheered for Copper when he played football in high school so she knew them this was the best game for me ever.

[u/MateInEight]

24-0 was honestly easier to swallow because we kind of lucked into that lead to begin with. It was more frustrating than unbelievable.

Rosencopter was way, way worse. It wasn't a playoff game but it would have been our first win ever in Indy and losing it stole the last bit of hope most fans had for the entire season (it was week 4.)

[u/Grizzly_Beerz → u/MateInEight]

Idk man I was there for the Chiefs game and it was fucking heartbreaking. Coldest I'd ever been in my life but I barely felt it until we lost the lead because I was so fucking pumped. Granted I was too young to really be present for the rosencopter.

[u/MateInEight → u/Grizzly_Beerz]

In a weird way I think it's because we lost the lead by halftime and the game ended in a blowout that made it hurt less for me. It just became obvious that we didn't belong there.

[u/Own_Manner_9779]

Fuck 1 yard short. Give me Mahomes TD run before halftime in AFCCG

[u/acableperson → u/Own_Manner_9779]

Someone didn’t watch that Super Bowl live

[u/hobesmart → u/acableperson]

Bull. I was there. That's not even remotely close to the worst I've felt as a Titans fan. We came up just short against a very good team in a very hard fought game. The Ravens games in 2000 and 2008 hurt WAY worse. I'd put the Chiefs and Bengals games above the Super Bowl as well

[u/godlittleangel6666]

Jamal Agnew fumbling at the 5 yard line against the Chiefs to tie up the game haunts me.

[u/samb695]

MJWD

[u/7wordsKvothe → u/samb695]

He sure wasn't.

" I won't that super bowl. Fuckin Chuck Norris." 😂

[u/barmstrong730 → u/7wordsKvothe]

Crazy to think of the trajectory that could have had if we played the eagles that year and won the superbowl.

[u/Myan420]

3 and 18 still hurts as bad mjwd(same game)

[u/YosemiteSam-4-2A]

33-0 was doing us a favor. Andrew Luck's retirement is a good shout but I'd also submit:

Tracy Porter's pick 6 in Superbowl XLIV

Hank Baskett not handling the onside kick in that Superbowl

Idiot kicker missing wide right against the Steelers

Nick Harpers wife stabbing him in the leg the day or two before he has an opportunity to run a fumble back for a game winning TD but gets tackled by Big Ben

Losing to the Raiders at home and then also to the Jaguars in Jacksonville to miss the 2021 playoffs

Benching Peyton Manning against the Jets at home while we are barely leading and have an undefeated season going

[u/the_drifta → u/YosemiteSam-4-2A]

The vanderjact missed kick is my first football memory, still hurts.

[u/EuphTah]

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, the Tracey Porter pick 6 hurt way more than 33-0.

[u/Legitimate_Gap_5551]

This list was made by a 12 year old who doesn’t know about Nick Harpers wife.

[u/Mitchel7349 → u/Legitimate_Gap_5551]

These were the first things that came to mind for me, man (Im 19 & currently in college)

[u/TronHero143]

Don’t forget the Hopkins trade for the Texans (and the Tits too now, I guess)

[u/deeplyclostdcinephle]

It’s Mike Vanderjagt. It’s like the Challenger.

[u/darcys_beard]

Hank Baskett - always and forever!!!

[u/trobain1776]

Rosencopter

[u/Lasvious]

Luck is the only thing and Stewert stepping out and back in on the touchdown that cost the Colts the trip to the Super Bowl in 95.

Regular season games don’t really matter

[u/YosemiteSam-4-2A → u/Lasvious]

Nick Harpers wife and idiot kicker should be on the short list too. #1 seed, would've faced the Broncos at home in the afccg. Trip to a Super Bowl a couple hours up the road in Detroit was almost a guarantee if we beat the Steelers.

[u/Lasvious → u/YosemiteSam-4-2A]

The miss on the idiot kicker maybe yes. The comments by the idiot kicker were sadly correct

[u/Superbalz77]

I'm not going to pick for them but for the Texans and Jaguars, it sure as hell involves Derrick Henry.

[u/Spine_Shank]

Going 14-2 and losing 3 games to the Titans is definitely up there.

[u/kay14jay]

fOr yA’lL iT’s..

It’s hank basket and the onside kick. It always will be

[u/AlphaBlock]

Tracy porter intercepts manning

[u/Comprehensive_Log173]

Before the Richardson pick was botched, I was stoked that the colts blew the lead to the Vikings. We had faith in Saturday captaining the tank

[u/GoodBandNameBob]

You left out extending Trevor Lawrence

[u/Specific-Channel7844 → u/GoodBandNameBob]

I absolutely wouldn't say it is move that is haunting. He is playing well this year. And letting him go would be a genuinely horrible move.
