ESPN Page 2 - 18 Greatest Teams that ended up Collapsing

[Spider-Jay]

Well...now we can say the 2007/2008 New England Patriots!

2007 New England Patriots...

 

[StorminNorman]

I don't think the Patriots Collapsed really. Or at least I don't consider this a "Collapse"

 

[Fran]

No... a collapse would be losing in the AFC Divisional round while holding a 16-0 record.

 

[StorminNorman]

I put the 01 Rams as collapse not because they lost the Super Bowl - but because their team fell apart afterwards.

2004 New York Yankees. That was the greatest choke in Sports history, they were one out away from putting the Red Sox down for another year.

I agree this is the worst choke in history

 

[M.O.Steel]

i don't consider NE pats as chokers because they played till the end also, and it was a close game. It wasn't one-sided. If the defense didn't play like crap, they could have held the 14-10 and win. I don't think they choked. I think they lost a regular game, that happened to be the big game.

 

[Fran]

If the Pats of 2007 are a choke, then they would've lost in the Super Bowl like 49-3 or something.

[chuckymack]

The Patriots lost the frickin' Super Bowl after going 18-0, with record-setting offense led by Tom 'Mr. Overrated' Brady and Randy 'He's Actually That Good' Moss. Face it, guys: Anything less than another Lombardi Trophy was a choke for them.

Anyone who doesn't think so is in denial. As the saying goes, 'It don't mean a thing if you ain't got that ring'.

the 07-08 Patriots i'd put right at the top of the list now yes
