What’s the worst way you’ve lost?

Dak vs Dart(me) last night to wrap up our match up. Last drive of the game, Dart passes the ball to tie us up at 135.5. Shortly after, Dart runs the ball off the right side for one yard. I go up 135.6 to 135.5.

Dart then kneels twice and I lose by .4 points.

That's rough. I always said kneel-downs should not count as negative yardage.

Don't recall the details, but I have lost a championship game by less than 0.1 points. I've won some close ones too. In fact, I avoided getting chopped in a guillotine this week by 0.06 (sorry CETiger).

I swear I remember somewhere it being called “Team Rush”. Maybe it was the Ole alias stadium announcer or something. Kneels and spikes shouldn’t go against a QB’s stats.

I lost in the championship a couple years back by .2 ... in that week Rashee Rice had a break away TD, but got caught from behind. THREE more fricking yards and I win the championship. I'm clearly over it and it doesn't bother me at all anymore.

I feel the same way about bad snaps. I was in a bind one year and had to start Mark Sanchez when he was with Philly. I think I got -7 points for him just for snaps going over his head and shite. But, apparently there is no other player to put that fumble on or at least that was the case last time I read up on it.

This happened to another guy my league, but he was winning by a few points at the end of either Sunday night or Monday Night Football and the Chiefs were playing. The guy losing had the Chiefs defense and in the last few seconds of the game they had a garbage time scoop and score.

The guy ended up losing by a half a point and the Chiefs managed to pull off a back door cover because of it. It was been that I fully understood the magic of sports.

I had the Chiefs defense in that game and I only won because of that last play. I think it was vs Miami possibly. They were trying to lateral the ball all over the field and Chiefs defense picked it up and fell in the endzone.

I just found an old Facebook post I made about it. It was against the Redskins.

Years ago...Vick and Desean Jackson. Playing the Bears. I'm down .1 in a 1pt ppr league.

Last Eagles possession, Vick throws to Jackson.

Jackson literally knocks the ball down.

Game over.

Hated him since.

I’ll never forget it because I about tore my house down, I’m an emotional child when it comes to fantasy.

Going into MNF I was done and he needed like 12 from his Kicker Butker (chiefs). It’s the last drive of the game and chiefs need a FG to win. Butker is sitting at 8 points so any FG 40+ gives him the win. Mahomes drives them down into the redzone which automatically makes the FG less than 40 yards so I’m thinking I’m safe. Instead of kneeling on it and trotting out the FG unit Andy Reid for some dumbass reason elects to drop Mahomes back to pass and he gets sacked moving the FG back to 40+. Butker nails it and I lose. I seriously considered quitting fantasy after this

We had a guy lose on a .5 defensive stat correction on a Tuesday or Wednesday after the week finished.

He missed the playoffs by 1 game

Championship game about 15 years ago. I'm down 2 points. We play defensive players. I have the middle linebacker for both teams. You get 3 points for 5 tackles and 3 points for 5 assists. With 4 minutes left, each player has 4 tackles and 4 assists. I literally just need one to jump on a pile and I win...and neither one makes a tackle or assist the rest of the game. Unreal

One year Yahoo was glitching in some of the leagues in week 3 and nobody could change their lineup from the previous week. I lost by 3 points and would have won if I'd been able to make the changes I wanted.

At the end of the regular season I missed the playoffs on a tiebreaker instead of getting in outright.
