I'll even it up Chosen1. I like your thinking here.

Concur with the Kansas City Chiefs one.

Death of Bill Walsh. He had been retired. Sure its sad but no one lives for ever. His contributions were over by that point.

Bucky I respect your opinion but I still would not change my pick. I think certain figures mean so much to certain franchises that the loss of them no matter how long after they may have retired it is still considered a tragic loss to that teams fans.

I mean take the Celtics for example I am sure that a large portion nof their fans took the death of Red as being a tragic loss for the Celtics

no way for the Cardinals its def the MNF game. The div game was unexpected to begin with and we were just happy to get that far at that point

I think the Super 41 loss to the Colts for the Bears was just the only thing you could have chosen. Yet they expected to be underdogs.

honestly I know some cardinals fans and that game seemed to be just another game to them. I mean come on the Cardinals were what 1 and 4 going in to the game? They were expected to lose so nobody really had their hopes up it was just a meaningless game in one of many in Cardinals history. The one I picked though well I will explain in my coming arguments

yes chosen1 i like your thinking by using the word "loss" in a different meaning. But Sean Taylor was a loss but it drove them to the playoffs. Will come back for arguemtns.

Reyes4MVP *Free brooms* | 07/13/08, 08:32 PM - I am from the Md and DC area and know first hand how bad the area took the death of Taylor it was taken worse than any loss that has happened in the entire time I have been living. Plus from a play standpoint it has a much longer reach impact than just one game

Barry Sanders retirement was, and is, the biggest loss of the last 30+ years for Detroit football. The lions had, scince i became a fan, always had a team of respect, a team that played hard, regardless of their record or standing. Barry realized were the franchise was headed, and after he retired, the team has the worst record in pro football, and are trying to re-define their football heritage. Unfortunatley, most fans agree that as long as the team is owned by the Ford family, and Matt Millen is in charge, hope is very low.

Any superbowl loss should be up there

<-------------

Do you know how pumped Baltimore was for that Colts game? We still have left over T-Shirts EVERYWHERE

The Vikings 1998 game was just a nother choke

Bengals should be 2005 season, the wild card loss to the Steelers at home over the regular season loss to the Broncos.

Bucs should be the NFC chapionship that they lost to the Rams who went on to win the Super Bowl. That loss by I think 5 points hurts. 5 points from the Super Bowl.

Chosen1 - you are exactly right about that Dolphins loss. The blowout was bad but the fact that it was Marino's final game makes it far worse.

Death of Bill Walsh. He had been retired. Sure its sad but no one lives for ever. His contributions were over by that point.

Sadly too many people think like you do in this area. If you are a fan of the game then the loss of Walsh resounds from any franchise. He is one of the greatest coaches ever. If he stayed there who knows what else the 49ers would have done. His one regret is that he left the game in his opinion too soon.

c note | 07/13/08, 11:11 PM - yea the Dolphins one to me one of my picks that I liked the most. He was the face of the Dolphins franchise and one of if not the greatest qb of all time so to watch him go out the way he did was terrible. I mean he went out on the bench and was pulled in his last game and they put Damon Huard in
