First of all eliminate regular season games that did not keep us out of playoffs (see: last 2 games of '08)
Next eliminate 2011 playoff loss. We were 4 point underdogs on the road, and it should have been more. Texans had Yates, but they also had an elite defense (4th points, 2nd yards) and dominant running game (2nd yards, 8th YPC). We had rookie second round pick Andy Dalton with a lesser defense (9th points, 7th yards) and a weak running game (19th yds, 27th YPC)
Eliminate last years Super Bowl because we were underdogs playing with house money at that point.
That leaves the losses to the Chargers and Stealers.
But I have to add in the Jets playoff loss.
By far the worst of those three was Pittsburgh. The way we lost was just a punch in the gut. AND IT WAS THE #$@&*#@! STEALERS!!!
