And yet your Bears always seem to come up short when they play the Packers at the end of the season when there is something on the line (playoffs, NFC North title, Super Bowl).
NFL's Top 10 Most Heartbreaking Losses???

- Start date
And yet your Bears always seem to come up short when they play the Packers at the end of the season when there is something on the line (playoffs, NFC North title, Super Bowl).
in 2013 season week 10 at home losing 21-19 to Lions and week 13 at Vikings losing in OT 23-20 hurt worse than GB at home because we should have won those games. Win 1 or both of those games and week 17 doesn't matter. That is what I meant about the missed opportunities earlier.
Edit - And you guys aren't even in position to win that game if James Anderson scoops the fumble and scores. Instead Cobb picks it up and runs it in. That play described our D the 2nd half of year. again not heart break disgust

If Rodgers hadn't chipped his collar bone on a freak play...... yawn!
to be fair for me 85% was out of thin air just to be nice. It is 100% in this particular thread...
Guilty Your honor. I also listened to Marty Tirell for yrs, Matty when he was in Des Moines and still listen to Miller and Brinson on radio.
I am well aware of the old saying "never underestimate the predictability of stupidity" but I like it when people over come so I keep going back like a mouse to the cheese. (which probably makes me in a way predictably stupid in that regard, become what I hate, I know)
The game itself wasn't so heartbreaking. Indy got badly outplayed and were very fortunate to even be in position to tie the game at the end of regulation. Shoot, even on that last drive the refs gifted Manning as second chance by screwing up what appeared to be a game clinching INT by Polamalu.
What was heartbreaking about it was that was the year that Tony Dungy's oldest son committed suicide late in the season. Dungy was back on the sidelines for that game, but it was clear that the air had gone out of the team. How he found the strength to get back to the team as quickly as he did is beyond me to this day.
You bring up a good point. There are times when a season can be heart breaking for any number of reasons that don't have anything to do with one game specifically. Yet they hurt just as much or more because there may be lasting effects for a bad season or bad coaches or GM tenure

I love pompous. holier than thou, think they know it alls. Do speak to us like Moses after God chose to give HIM the 10 Commandments because according to you "CYcoFan", you clearly are the "Chosen One".
Dude sorry if I came off that way.
If you go back and look thru this thread I wasn't trying to tell Fans of teams which were more heart breaking, merely asking questions. I am an NFL fan and was like a giddy school girl being able to think back about a lot of games. If the Fail Mary is in your personal top 10 that is one thing. But it takes facts and an argument to say it belongs in the NFL's All Time Top 10 and by definition you can't use opinion to support an argument.
So the Fail Mary is in your top 10, just like Magic man is in my Bears one, but the Magic man game is not all time top 10 in nfl. I will admit to that. The magic man game was a personal exp for me that maybe a few Bears fans shared. Which is different from my heart breaking for Vikings fans that I hate when Gary Anderson misses a kick. You get it. Not even I will make fun of Vikes fans for that, that game is off limits. And if I feel that way then maybe other NFL non Vikings fans agree which would put it on an ALL TIME NFL list.
Thank you.... I'm just trying to provoke some interesting conversation is all. I think the same old same old gets boring so I try to be a little different is all.
