That's the biggest loss in NFL history - maybe all of sports other than USA over USSR

The consequences of the loss are monumental - you take the greatest season in NFL history - and arguably the greatest team of all time - and simply throw that all in the trash - I just don't see another loss with this kind of significance.

SB III was a MUCH bigger loss

Superbowl III was the Colts loss?

This is so true....I don't know how you can recover from a loss like that.

Agree.

Think the Bosox coming back being down 0-3 in a post season series was bigger than tonight

The Pats threw away an undefeated season and a legacy - all the Yanks did was choke the WS

The AFL at that point was at least on a par with the NFL; the Chiefs crushed the Vikings in the SB the next year.

Yes, the Red Sox win after being down to 3-0 to the Yanks was a bigger win than the Giants win - but the Pats loss was the biggest loss I can recall

Not true Seymor. There were much bigger upsets. Pats were only 12 point favorites and the Rams were 14 over us a couple of years ago. It is a biggie but not the biggest. No way. patriots were flawed and almost lost a 3 or 4 times. Undefeated yes but they were beatable and we finally lost. Not the biggest ever or anything like that. A 12 point favorite is a 12 point favorite. Jets with Namath were much more underdogs and the Rams a few years ago too whether you want to buy it or not.

To compare it to the Russians getting beat is not even remotely close. I can list many many upsets bigger.

Buster Douglas over Mike Tyson was a far bigger upset. So was Florida over the Yankees, and U of Miami over Nebraska in the Orange Bowl in '84. Don't forget about the '69 Mets and the 1990 A's over Cinci.

can't recall what the ml was for the Yanks to win that series after being up 3-0

gonna say it was higher than 4-1

if there was a line

whormoan · Feb 3, 2008

BoSox were +1400 to win the series when they were down 3-0.

App St over Michigan was a bigger upset too.

There are a million upsets bigger than this. This post is not remotely accurate. They were undefeated yes but beatable. a 12 point favorite loses at times. Like tonight.

Going by pointspreads, the Pats win over the Rams was a bigger one.

Stanford +41 over USC OUTRIGHT! Yeah Harbaugh
