I'd second that. The Jets made us look terrible that year.

I don't know about wins, but the 88 Super Bowl was the worst loss of my lifetime.

When the best win is something short of a Super Bowl and the heartbreaking loss list is longer than your arm, it's not worth talking about...
RE: Greatest victory and worst loss - Sled21 - 08-08-2017
4 failed attempts to cross the goal line in the 3rd quarter of Super Bowl XVI.... Bengals down 20 at the half, making a huge comeback, try three runs by Pete Johnson and a Kenny Anderson pass to Charles Alexander, who screwed up his route costing a score. That was the worst game for me, as it was our first Super Bowl.
The next Super Bowl, losing to the same team, this time with Boomer, sucked balls as well.......

This is exactly what I thought when reading this....no offense packerbacker but......pass.

Happiest win is anytime we beat the Steelers. Which unfortunately hasn't happened enough under Marvin. I also fondly remember that huge comeback win against the Seahawks a few years ago. What a game.
I was like 5 years old the last time they lost in the Superbowl and I don't really remember it. So the worst losses are a tie between the 05 & 15 playoff games against the Steelers. Not sure which is worse, Palmer going down or having the game won and giving it away. Both equally horrible.

The 2015 season playoff game was almost the greatest victory that turned into the worst loss. I lived through both Super Bowl loses and they were bad, but after all the "one and done's" when AJ hit AJ in the end zone I was so excited that we weren't just going to win, we were going to do it coming back against our biggest rival the poopsburg stoolers. I couldn't even stay seated and I was literally crying tears of joy. Poopsburg's next possession Burfict made the interception.....It's over!!!! Then along comes Jeremy Hill, aggressive Burfict, cheating Porter, and yellow flags. ON US???!!! Very few times in my life have gone from such an extreme high to complete disbelief in just a few minutes.

RE: Greatest victory and worst loss - Essex Johnson - 08-09-2017

RE: Greatest victory and worst loss - wolfkaosaun - 08-09-2017
The 2009 1st game againt the Steelers was pretty good.
But 2015, the comeback against Seattle. Man. That game made me realize that we had a really special team that year. Such a shame we saw it get squandered, but I'll never forget watching that game and watching such an amazing comeback.
The worst loss is the 2015 playoff game. That defense held one of the best offenses in the NFL to under 20 points. We had our backup QB who only played 4 games. And yet, we were so close.
You have to remember, I'm 25 years old. I've NEVER witnessed a Bengals playoff win in my life. They've never won a playoff game since I've been born. And to almost FINALLY watch my favorite team win a playoff game (against my most hated team and hometown team) would have been one of the best sports moments of my life. But it all went to pieces.
RE: Greatest victory and worst loss - Storer50 - 08-09-2017
Best game: beating the undefeated chiefs.
Worst game: 2015 playoff loss.
I had tears in my eyes, tears of joy as many others did. Then just like that it was over. That was a very dark night. I'm 37, to realize none of my sports teams had done jack crap for the past 27 of those years, it hit hard that night.

Best Victory is a Tie...Both AFC CHAMPIONSHIP WINS and knowing Bengals Going To Super Bowl. Also after Bengals started so bad in 1970, my Dad a season ticket holder. Watching them beat Patriots and QB Joe Kapp who year before had taken Vikings to Super Bowl. Outside Riverfront after the game, all the fans shocked and happy the Bengals of 1968 expansion in AFL and 1970 being first year in NFL, BENGALS GOING TO PLAY-OFFS IN JUST THEIR THIRD YEAR. I was with my Dad, Brother, maybe my Mom. A GREAT FAMILY MOMENT. My Brother soon to be drafted had already enlisted in Air Force and went in early in 1971. One Last, Great, Family Moment was Bengals beating Patriots to Win AFC Central in 1970. Those Family things priceless.
I CAN TELL YOU THE UGLIEST WAY TO LOSE EVER....The 2015 Season Play-Off Game in THE JUNGLE against Pittsburg Steelers. When McCarron hit AJ Green for Touchdown with little time left on clock, Bengals SHOULD HAVE won first play-off game since 1990 season. What Bengals did in the last 60 seconds is still the MOST STUPID football I have ever seen. Bengals were STUPID, STUPID, STUPID. ....NOTHING COMPARES TO IT as far as STUPID WAY TO LOSE.....NOTHING. ....I don't want to hear Pittsburg this, or Pittsburg that, or we were robbed.....Truth is, Bengals were DUMB and DUMBER......Most STUPID last 60 seconds of football I have ever seen. ....Too Bad, McCarron to AJ Green should have won the game and ended this NO PLAY-OFF WIN SINCE 1990 Season GARBAGE. ....The Players, Coaches and Jungle Fans lost all focus in that game, ending in no focus last 60 seconds and Big Ben didn't even have to make a comeback. Bengals just gave them stupid penalty after stupid penalty in last seconds to give Steelers an easy Game Winning Field Goal......Most Out Of Control, Lack Of Focus, STUPID LOSS I have ever seen.....A Fumble is a physical mistake. Burfict and Pacman running around out of focus and those dumb penalties are mental mistakes. Physical mistakes happen, but those mental mistakes are the worst possible way to lose. Turning a 65 yard field goal into a 35 yard field on free penalty yards. Talk about lack of focus and forgetting the game situation. Most STUPID Bengal Loss EVER.
RE: Greatest victory and worst loss - Housh - 08-09-2017
In the years Iv been a fan I can truely say the highest and lowest moment for me was the playoff game with AJ McCarron where we almost beat Pittsburg
RE: Greatest victory and worst loss - CJD - 08-09-2017
Best: erm...nothing all that notable...maybe the 2005 division clincher against Pittsburgh?
Worst: 2015 Wild Card Game

These are my thoughts exactly. lol
RE: Greatest victory and worst loss - Shake n Blake - 08-09-2017
Win: In 2003 we beat the 9-0 Chiefs and moved into first place. It was the latest we'd held a division lead in like 14 years or so. Plus it was just an amazing game.
Loss: 2015 vs Steelers without a doubt. 2005 sucked but we had all game to digest what happened. In 2015 they got all of our hopes up only to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in the cruelest way possible. You could not have rigged that game to be any more heartbreaking.
