Still say that this is the worst loss I have ever had to deal with - all things considered.
The opponent, the way the first half went, the importance of the game, the state of our division where it is just up for grabs.

The two stupidest losses I've witnessed as a fan were both season openers: 06 vs Minnesota, and 13 vs Philadelphia. Both games were the first game of seasons where the Redskins entered with very legitimate playoff aspirations, and signaled doom for the rest of the season with home losses to bad teams. (Honorable mention: 08 vs St. Louis and 09 vs Detroit)

This loss wasn't on the same level as those I don't think, because we had the prior seven games to prepare us (and specifically blown leads in the prior three games). If you weren't at least a little worried that the Redskins would pull out defeat from the jaws of victory, it may have been because we were all making excuses for their performance in recent weeks.

That they continued the trend against the Vikings is disappointing. It is. But it's not the worst loss of the season, much less multiple seasons.
