808 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I'll take the bait. February 6, 2005. Super Bowl XXXIX. Game tied 14-14 to start the 4th quarter. Final score, 24-21. Thankfully Sir Paul McCartney had a nice half time performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing a superbowl is always rough, but is it really soul crushing to lose to the dynasty Patriots with your best player having a broken leg?

When your team hadn't been to the Super Bowl since 1980, and never won one before, absolutely yes. But for the sake of the poll, it has to be the most recent Super Bowl.

It remains the biggest game in New England franchise history, because of the immortality factor. The Patriots lit up that Giants defense in the final regular season game in New Jersey, but whether it was overconfidence or not, the Patriots couldn't execute.

The Giants probably gave the Patriots one of their 3 toughest games of the year and the Patriots were pretty banged up and not the same team they were the first half of the season and Brady went into that game with a nagging injury. The fact that it took pretty much a perfect game and the Giants still probably only won off of luck speaks volumes about how improbable it was. Either way I'd say the Tuck Rule is the biggest game in franchise history tbh. Even if the Patriots beat he Giants in 2007 it probably wouldn't even be the signature win of that season let alone franchise history. You'd look back to something like that great Colts game or the nail biter vs the Ravens before that Super Bowl game. It's more important to NFL history because it preserved the Miami perfect season, but that era of Patriots was already immortalized well before that and quite frankly the Brady/Belichick era in it's totality is more important than that single game. Hell that's not even the biggest Super Bowl upset the Patriots were apart of compared to the Rams game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancerman Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Anyways the worst loss vs the Patriots is probably the Seahawks. You're talking about a team that was looking to go into that dynasty territory. As a defensive team being the group that beat Brady and Manning in back to back Super Bowls would have been historic. A second Super Bowl probably makes a lot of the backfield HOF consideration worthy. They become one of the greatest defenses in history that you can put up with the Steel Curtain and 85 Bears. And the way their team imploded after. Rams for similar reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

August4th Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 01 title game by far for me most satisfying is the 07 superbowl... seating in front of a Pats fan in my 11th grade science class made it even better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
