28-3
Since Tim Tebow got cut today, we'll show you his epic comeback against the Dolphins in 2011, with 2:52 to go in the fourth the Broncos needed a TD, and then they needed to recover an onside kick and score another TD, plus a 2 point conversion just to tie the game. If they managed to miraculously do all of this, then they had to somehow win it in overtime.
In 2001, Cleveland came back from deficits of 12-0 and 14-2 to beat the Seattle Mariners 15-14. That comeback loss prevented the Mariners from setting the single season wins record, leaving them tied with Chicago at 116. 116-46 that year - and one of the losses was a blown 12-run lead.
2004 ALCS and Super Bowl LI 😎
1993 Bills against the Oilers AFC Championship Game
I remember watching that 1993 Bills game and turning it off at halftime thinking it was over. I started watching a movie and when I turned it back to that channel the game was over and the Bills had won. I missed the entire comeback.
The "Heidi" game in 1968. Raiders scored 2 touchdowns in the final minute to stun the Jets.
that Bills game was a classic. I've told the story before: it was so bad that I turned up the volume, cracked a window and went outside to split some wood. I was doing OK until the comeback started and I found myself standing at the window and cheering. finally, I buried the axe in the chopping stump and went inside to watch the game.
..........
And that is the answer.
People forget 49ers vs New Orleans back in the 80s. Ali vs George foreman.
But let's keep hurting my feelings with 28 to 3 . 😆 I'm not mad at Brady or the pats ... Mad as heck at my team
28-3 cost me $12k but I feel bad for you too.
"I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Joe a little details please?
If we're talking seasons, the 2011 St. Louis Cardinals have a claim...
RIP Mom- 1932-2012
Falcon 120-1 to win the Super Bowl. One of my 5 customary $100 wagers before the season starts. 28-3 I was already booking my room to Biloxi to cash in the ticket.
In my best Forest Gump voice , and that’s all I have to say about that.
"I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
I hit the “LOL” only because of the Forrest Gump reference! Damn though that is an insanely difficult loss to deal with. I’m happy the Pats won but sorry it cost you that win
I was kicking myself for not putting it in earlier when it was 150-1. Lmao. I guess the different between $15k or $12k and zero doesn’t really matter.

2004 alcs red sox. not just a game. that whole series. then to go on and win the world series breaking the curse of the bambino.
Easy question . JAN 18, 2015. Seattle vs Green Bay. Seattle played absolutely horrible for like 55 minutes, then played great for 5 to steal the NFC Championship. I was there. The entire stadium was in complete shock on every step closer to tying and then eventually winning the game. Still can't believe a team that did nothing right did like 6 great things in a row....On side kick, punter throwing TD, Hail Mary no look 2 PT conversion and TD on 1st possession in OT. UNREAL. And Russell Wilson was absolutely horrible the entire game. I think he had 4 picks and could have had 7 easily.
They lost because they played not to lose, they completely messed that up lol. They took the pedal off the gas, it was stupid
I do partially agree. Seattle stepped up on goal line stops early that kept the game from getting out of reach. Lynch was huge in that comeback win. But luck certainly ran out 2 weeks later. Seattle coaches got cute and tried to outsmart Bill B and we know how that turned out. OMG.
The Chiefs came back from a cumulative 44 points in 3 playoff games two years ago when they won the SB.
Hope everyone is doing well.
I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in June, on July 21 had my prostate removed. Slowly recovering, had
some complications so had a catheter for 24 days which really sucked. Good news is my urologist/surgeon said
cancer was confined to the prostate so I should be good now.
Reminder- have regular blood work done. My blood work showed elevated PSA level (prostate specific antigen)
which aroused suspicion that something might be wrong. Then had a prostate biopsy that confirmed cancer.
Going to be a fun year for football, this will make the Chiefs 3rd Super Bowl appearance in a row.
just now logging in for the day and i must say, it speaks volumes that there is all kinds of yapping taking place on other threads, but not a single response to this. smh
glad you are doing well bud. was wondering where you had been. damn near drove up to Kansas again and rolled down the window.
and you're right, it's all about staying on top of things. i'm thankful it was caught early and your prognosis is a good one. will keep you in my prayers. great to see you back -- don't be a stranger.
you'll never be able to outrun a bad diet
Thanks Galaxy, really appreciate the kind words and prayers.
