I am in the minority that believe that OKC is a better overall team than Miami, so I was I starting thinking about series or even just single games where the better team didn't win. My mind always goes back to the 95' Indians...which I believe were without a doubt the better team, but choked big time. Name some other "upsets"...it can be college, pro or even something like boxing(Douglas def Tyson comes to mind).

I think there have been a ton of super bowl upsets like Giants over the Patriots the first time...and when the Seahawks lost in superbowl 40.

2002 Miami Hurricanes. I love my Ohio State and what a win that was but come on Miami had Dorsey, McGahee, Johnson, Winslow, Joesph, McDougle, Williams, Vilma, Rolle and Sean Taylor. :laugh: Vince Wilfork was a backup on that team and he had 7 sacks that year.

Just think you had a great college QB, Pro Bowl RB, All-Pro WR, Pro Bowl TE, All Pro DT, All Pro FS and All Pro CB. Plus the other ones have been terrific long time NFLers. Just unreal that Krenzel, Clarret and Gamble were able to beat a team like that. Miami in 2001 & 2002 were absolutely scary

I agree, but Vilma was gone. I think if they played 10 times, Miami wins at least 8 of them....just glad we won the game that mattered

2002 Browns against the steelers.

2007 Patriots losing to the Giants.

2007 Browns VS the Raiders and the second Bengals game, SMFH.

2007 Tribe, I dont give a fuck. Should have won that series

2004 Lakers losing to the Pistons.

Browns KC Rudd game.

Browns beating the Patriots and the Saints back in 2010. No way the Browns should have won those games. I still lol at David Bowens 2 INTs.

Was that the same year that the Browns thumped the shit out of the Giants when they were undefeated...coming off the super bowl? That was my favorite game in recent memory

2002 Buckeyes is still the best college FB defense I have ever seen. I will take them over Miami's any day of the week.

No that was 2008. Another good call, MNF! I think I went to work the next day on about 2 hours of sleep. Worth it.

This x 10000000. The offense was one that just didn't give the game away, the defense won that championship that year.
