Captain Caveman Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Who's working on this for us? https://subwayrecord.wordpress.com/2015/10/27/every-browns-loss-since-1999-ranked/
quinnearlysghost88 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) Deadspin just linked an article to a Cleveland fan who compiled the worst 100 Browns losses since 1999 with some commentary. It's really funny and very familiar (untimed downs from penalties, losing games in the final seconds, shaky ref calls, collapses in the final seconds, unsung players becoming heroes). I think with the bye week, we should, for cathartic reasons only, put together our worst losses in some or no particular order. Maybe not 100, but God knows that would be easy, but maybe top 50. And then start a poll to rank. I'll start it right off: 2004 Pittsburgh 29 Bills 24: In the last game of the season, with the Bills only needing to defeat the Steelers third-stringers AT HOME on an unseasonably warm January in Buffalo to make the playoffs, they let nobody Brian St. Pierre pick up a 4th and 1 late in the 4th quarter, keep a drive alive, waste four more minutes of clock and tack on 3 more points. St. Pierre was 0 for 1 with -3 yards rushing because of the victory kneel downs. Here's the Browns article: https://subwayrecord.wordpress.com/2015/10/27/every-browns-loss-since-1999-ranked/ Edited October 29, 2015 by quinnearlysghost88

26CornerBlitz Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 2014 Week 16 Loss to the Raiders. Dare I say, wide right? Since 2001.
Nanker Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 An arbitrary cutoff date if ever I heard one. Let the truth come out!
Jauronimo Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) Browns beat Buffalo 6-3 in the game that almost killed football. 2009 Skins game in Toronto 2011 Bills lose to Ravens in ot as forward progress rules are suspended. 2010 Bills Jets December 2008. Losman naked bootleg right, fumbles on 3rd and 1. Returned for a td with 1:54 remaining. Edited October 29, 2015 by Jauronimo
Best Player Available Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 last week wasn't to shabby on the suckitude scale.
quinnearlysghost88 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Rogers Centre 2013: 34-31 OT Falcons Bills: It was like the Chandler and Stevie fumbles were happening in an alternate universe.
quinnearlysghost88 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I know it doesn't fall within the year parameters, but the Bills lost to the Jags in Jim Kelly's last game ever at home in the wild card during a game that was blacked out on TV by a GW field goal that hit an upright and went in.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I would argue that the Bills have the most heart-breaking improbable losses--more so that the Browns. The Browns just lose. We are about to win, and then blow it at the end. I could make a list of the most gut-wrenching losses that happened just on opening days, let alone all year.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 2014 Week 16 Loss to the Raiders. Since 2001.
quinnearlysghost88 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Worst loss is some what vague. Worst loss in what way? I'd agree with the OP in the loss to Pittsburgh's 3rd stringers in 2004 because had we won that game we would've been in the playoffs. There aren't too many other significant losses since 2001 because we've been so bad for so long. You'll know a worst loss when you see one. Like, maybe, 2007 Sunday Night Football Bills/Pats 56-10. There were more Pats fans than Bills fans in the lower bowl.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Okay-- here it is. These are just our opening day losses: 2013: GW FG by the Patriots as time expires 2009: GW TD by the Patriots with 50 seconds left (after Pats trailed by 15 points with 2 minutes left) (1 point loss)2007: GW FG by Broncos as time expires (1 point loss)2006: Patriots score 12 unanswered points late in the game, win 19-172004: Jax beats us on last play of game2002: Opening kick of OT returned for a TD--Jets win
Tenhigh Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 You should expand this to include any game since Kelly left. If so, you have the Music City forward laterally and the most ironic 0-31 drubbing a team has ever received. It's almost like they decided that that was the exact score they wanted to beat us by.
Talley56 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Interestingly, 2 losses to the Browns would probably easily be in our top 5 (MNF game in 2008, had a winning record up until this loss, 29-27 loss, Trent throws three interceptions in 1st quarter) and of course (6-3 loss in 2009 at home to winless Browns, most pathetic game ever played).
3rdand12 Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 last week wasn't to shabby on the suckitude scale. it registered in Rochester. But if it hasn't become a blur of suckiness/ bill-sy oe'r all this many year, then perhaps you take it all to seriously my friends like a duck and water. let it roll next week we'll get em!
Roc Bronson Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 last week wasn't to shabby on the suckitude scale. The exact game I was going for. You have to be on suicide watch after losing to the Jags..
