What are your favorite rival losses of all time?

[-King-]

Doesn't necessarily have to be a Chiefs rival or even an NFL team. Which loss by another team made you happiest?


How high does the Denver loss this year rank?

[texaschiefsfan]

Denver's latest collapse was pretty damn special. Although, their loss to Jacksonville in '96 was pretty sweet too.

I'm happy with any loss by the Cowboys as well, but that's only because I live around a bunch of delusional Dallas fans.

Any of the Denver SB losses. They thought they were a dynasty back then but got embarrassed on the biggest stage in front of the entire world.

The Patriots missing out on the perfect season.

Shit, can't believe I didn't think about that. It was the greatest loss in the history of the NFL.

There were bigger games, but the one that stands out to me: Chiefs-Raiders, MNF 1997?: Grbac to Rison. Completely destroyed that franchise for 2 years.

Dude, one of my favorite games ever. I think my dad was "outed" as a closet Chiefs fan that night. He is a die-hard St. Louis Cardinals fan and has always considered himself a Chicago Bears fan and tried to raise me as one. My dad does, has always and will always seethe with hatred towards the Chicago Cubs and especially their delusional, obnoxious fan base...and he raised me accordingly. When I was roughly 7 years old (in 1989-1990) I started noticing that the Cubs fans I talked shit to during Spring/Summer/Fall were also Bears fans and I didn't like the fact that I was rooting for the same football team as them. I had a difficult time rooting for them and there was a game where their kicker at the time, Kevin Butler, missed some frustrating field goals to lose to the Raiders of all teams. I was pissed and disgusted that I actually was, technically a Bears fans. It was that moment where I looked at my dad, who was cussing on the couch that I would never, ever, ever root for that "stupid freaking team" again and that I had a hard time liking them because many of the ****tard Cubs fans in my class were also Bears fans. My dad said under his breath, "hmmm....I never thought about that." A week or two later, we had this cereal box with the helmets of all of the NFL football teams at the time. By process of elimination, I crossed X'd out all of the teams that I thought were the lamest. I started with the Bears. Then went to the Raiders (was still butt-hurt from that game). Then to the Packers and Vikings since I already hated them (the Lions never hurt anyone). Ironically, I crossed the Broncos out very quickly simply because I hated John Elway and thought he has a stupid looking face. Crossed the 49ers out quickly because there were too many bandwagoners at the time. Ultimately, I selected the team who I thought had the coolest looking helmet. I got down to the Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals and chose the Chiefs. I was obviously destined to be a cursed football fan. I became just as or more die-hard about the Chiefs and constantly reminded Dad of how he rooted for a team that pretty much consisted of Cubs fans. Dad hated the Cubs and their fans much more than he liked the Cubs...and I knew it. Dad always "claimed" that he was a Bears fan, but I at least had him thinking, for his usually argumentative ass never had anything to say when I brought this to his attention...not to mention, he seemed to ALWAYS know more about what was going on with the Chiefs than he did with the Bears....sometimes he informed me of Chiefs news...which was odd. ANYWAYS, during the 1997 Raiders vs. Chiefs MNF Grbac to Rison game, I was supposed to be in bed...with the TV off, but was up watching the game and was literally on the edge of my seat the entire 4th quarter in case one of my parents came in my room and caught me awake and I had to flip the switch and jump into bed (since my TV was old school and didn't have a remote). When the Grbac to Rison catch occurred, I was cheering while trying to be as silent as possible and in a matter of seconds my dad barged in my room. My initial thought was, "oh shit, my dad caught me watching TV when I was supposed to be sleeping. I'm gonna be in deep shit." Instead of my dad chewing/spanking my ass, he starting hooting and howling and was like, "you'll never believe what the Chiefs just did!!! Grbac hit Rison for a game winning TD!!!! They just beat those ****ing Raiders!!!! It was awesome!!!!!" I said, "I know Dad"...and pointed at the TV that was still on in my room. He didn't get pissed. I asked if I could watch the post game stuff and he was like, "you bet your ass you can. Just don't wake up your mother and make sure you rub this win in to that Moss kid who rides your bus and loves the Raiders." I assured him I would. To this day, he STILL hasn't admitted that he is a closet "Bears converted to Chiefs fan," but he sure as hell acts like one....he never knows what is up with the Bears and is straight up apathetic when they play. However, he always knows what's up with the Chiefs and went on and on this year about how much he hates Cassel and thought ***** was a fraud. I think he's a Chiefs fan.....have thought so since that MNF game.

ANYWAYS.

My fave rival losses:

MNF 1997 Raiders vs. Chiefs. Grbac to Rison.
2005: Pittsburgh Steelers over Broncos.
2006: 49er over Broncos.
2003: Chiefs over Broncos.

MY FAVORITE OF ALL TIME:

October 14, 2003. Chicago Cubs vs. Florida Marlins.

Completely forgot about that. You couldn't wipe the smile off my face that day.

Yep. I ran around my man cave screaming like the Chiefs had won the SB.
G-Men have been on my good side ever since.

[Bugeater]

Oakland getting destroyed in the Super Bowl, The "Tuck Rule" game and Denver losing to Jacksonville in '96.

[Crush]

1. The recent Donkey choke against Baltimore.
2. The Donkey playoff loss to Jacksonville.
3. Donkey playoff loss to Pittsburgh.
4. Mavericks beating the Heat in the NBA Finals.
5. Anytime the Yankees choke in the playoffs.

[RunKC]

Well since we're going outside the division, I'll add the greatest collapse in sports history.

I'm no Red Sox fan, but watching them come back in that series to destroy the mother****ing Yankees was one of the greatest feelings ever.

Any Beaker "Good Loss" as designated by their fans

The Chargers collapses with Marty were some of my favorites, especially when the Jets beat them.

Ugh, thanks for reminding me of that. Nate Kaeding should have been flat-out cut after THAT game, but somehow that douchenozzle managed to stick around long enough to single-handedly blow ANOTHER playoff game against the goddamn Jets.
