Heaps to name. Choke jobs and classics
2014/15
Lions choke at Dallas
Dallas gets robbed at Green Bay { Bryant no catch } although the Lions were perhaps robbed the week before
Green Bay chokes at Seattle { onside kick } were up 21-6 or so late on, or the margin was at least 15, and they choked. Crazy game
Superbowl that Season Sea Hawks throw on first down instead of handing the ball to Lynch to run it and they * it.
2009/10 Wild Card Game
Green Bay 45-51 Arizona O.T - After that loss though like many I had the Pack as Superbowl Winners the following season. After a hot start then stumble, they found their way again. They were 15-1 late on that season. I could see them winning it as I did the Giants in 2012 and Ravens in 2013. Both got hot at the right time.
2010/11
Pats get upset on their home deck to the Jets. Smashed. The also got poleaxed the previous year to the Ravens who ran riot early and then it was too late.
SeaHawks knocking out the Saints that year was also a goody. I think they got in the playoffs with a 7-9 record. That would be my tip, 8-8 my next guess. Anyway they gave it to them in Seattle.
Also 2010/11
A regular season game. The Ginats gave up a 21 point 4th quarter lead and got swept aside with about 5 minutes to play. Coughlin was spewing and rightfully so. I think the Eagles lost to lowly Minnesota the next week.
Speaking of which, the Championship game of 2009/10 at New Orleans was a classic where Farve ****ed it at the end and got intercepted. That was in overtime, and had he converted the pass and down they would of had a F.G to win it. He got picked off, and the rest is history. Saints also smashed the Giants 48-35 in the regular season.
2011/12
49ers had a shootout with Green Bay and got the chocolates where Kaepernick ran amok. They also had a high scoring playoff match with the Saints perhaps the week later, or perhaps the next year. I think it was the next week.
We had the famous missed field goal of 2011/12 where the Ravens ****ed it at the end from close range to win it against the Pats and go into the Superbowl. They did them there the next year in New England though. I had them and the 9ers a year before they made the big dance as the 9ers also lost by about a FG at home the Giants in the Championship game.
2012/13
Sea Hawks at Falcons and 9ers at Falcons were good contests.
Heaps of good games. Pats collapsing in 2008 to the Giants. Santonio Holmes epic catch in 09 at the end vs Zona. Superbowl in 2017 and 2018 classics too. Many, many great contests. Will add more at a later date.
What games live long in your memory?
