Several years ago, I put together a list of 10 of the worst losses ever suffered by the Buffalo Bills in the time I had been covering the team which dates back to the 1980s.

These losses weren't necessarily the most one-sided, nor were they the saddest like the Super Bowls. Instead, these qualified because they were gut-wrenching, they were mind-blowing, and they were how-could-that-have-possibly-happened losses.

And now, I have another to add to the list, Sunday's utterly unbelievable 9-6 loss to Jacksonville. You can read all about that game today. But here is the original list, presented in chronological order.

Nov. 29, 1998: New England Patriots 25, Buffalo Bills 21

"Just give it to him." That's what Andre Reed claimed the side judge said late in the fourth quarter at Foxboro Stadium on a very close call along the sideline. On a 4th-and-9 play, Patriots WR Shawn Jefferson was awarded a game-extending first-down catch even though TV replays showed he did not get both feet in bounds. Today, the call would have been reversed by instant replay and the Bills would have won the game. Back then, it was a first down, which allowed Drew Bledsoe to heave a 36-yard Hail Mary into the end zone as time expired. Terry Glenn failed to make the catch, but the officials called pass interference on Henry Jones, giving the Patriots one play from the 1-yard-line with no time on the clock. And of course, Bledsoe found Ben Coates wide open in the back corner of the end zone for the winning touchdown.By the way, Pete Carroll was then New England's coach.

Jan. 8, 2000: Tennessee Titans 22, Buffalo Bills 16

The Music City Miracle. One of the NFL's all-time most amazing finishes, and it figures the Bills were on the losing end. Buffalo had taken a 16-15 lead on Steve Christie's 41-yard field goal with 16 seconds left to play, and all the Bills had to do was cover the ensuing kickoff, and stop a likely Hail Mary pass. The Titans never needed the Hail Mary. Lorenzo Neal fielded the squib kick, handed it to Frank Wycheck, and he threw a lateral (no Bills fan will ever buy that it was legal) to Kevin Dyson who raced untouched 75 yards for the winning touchdown.

Sept. 8, 2002: New York Jets 37, Buffalo Bills 31

Opening day at the Ralph, Bledsoe's first game with the Bills. Buffalo went up 10-0, and then Chad Morton returned a kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown to awake the Jets in the second quarter. The game was back and forth, and the Jets took a 31-24 lead with 4:47 to go, only to see Bledsoe cap a 76-yard drive with a 29-yard game-tying TD pass to Eric Moulds with 26 seconds left. The Jets won the coin toss, and Morton returned the kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown. Morton became the fifth player in NFL history to have two kickoff return TDs in the same game, and this was the second OT game of 318 to date in NFL history that ended on a kickoff return TD.

Sept. 12, 2004: Jacksonville Jaguars 13, Buffalo Bills 10

Another horrific opening day at the Ralph. The Bills played lousy on offense, but were ahead 10-6 with 1:18 left and Jacksonville QB Byron Leftwich was faced with 4th-and-14 from his own 34. He threw deep down the left sideline praying for a miracle, and Nate Clements provided it. Rather than knock the pass down, which would have been easy enough, Clements went for the pick, whiffed, and Smith caught the ball for a 45-yard gain. Moments later, the Jags converted a 4th-and-2 to stay alive, and finally, on 4th-and-goal from the 4 with four seconds left, Leftwich found Ernest Wilford for the winning TD. As I wrote then, "let the vomiting begin."

Jan. 2, 2005: Pittsburgh Steelers 29, Buffalo Bills 24

In the final game of the 2004 season, the Bills hosted the Steelers riding a six-game winning streak which meant one more victory would have sent them to the playoffs for the first time since 1999. Further, the Steelers had nothing to play for and rested many of their starters, including QB Ben Roethlisberger. Didn't matter. The Steelers scored 13 fourth-quarter points, including a 58-yard fumble return TD by James Harrison, and unknown Willie Parker finished with 102 yards rushing as the Steelers crushed the Bills season.

Dec. 4, 2005: Miami Dolphins 24, Buffalo Bills 23

J.P. Losman threw three TD passes to Lee Evans in the first 12:46 in Miami and the Bills looked to be on their way to a laugher. They did this in their first 14 offensive plays of the game. After a safety by London Fletcher, they had a 23-3 lead going to the fourth quarter, but the immortal Sage Rosenfels – who replaced the concussed and also immortal Gus Frerotte - threw for 272 yards in about 20 minutes of work including the winner to Chris Chambers with six seconds left. "I'm no Shakespeare. I can't describe it," said Losman, who threw for a career-best 224 yards, but also had two costly turnovers in the red zone. "Look at guys' faces and you can get an idea of what we feel like."

Oct. 8, 2007: Dallas Cowboys 25, Buffalo Bills 24

This was the Bills' first home Monday night game since 1994, and it looked like a glorious triumph over the Cowboys, who were making their first appearance in Buffalo since 1996. Thanks to three return TDs by Chris Kelsay, George Wilson, and Terrence McGee, the Bills were up 24-16 when Tony Romo hit Patrick Crayton for a TD with 20 seconds left. The Bills denied Terrell Owens a 2-point conversion reception to preserve a 24-22 lead, but then somehow inexplicably failed to recover the onside kick, ala Brandon Bostwick Sunday for the Packers. Dallas recovered at the Buffalo 47, Romo was allowed to complete two sideline passes (the Cowboys had no timeouts), and that set up Nick Folk for the game-winning 53-yard field goal as time expired. .

Sept. 14, 2009: New England Patriots 25, Buffalo Bills 24

The Bills had outplayed the Patriots all game on the opening Monday night in Foxboro, and the Gillette Stadium curse was about to be eviscerated. Buffalo was up 24-13 when Tom Brady – back after missing all of 2008 with a knee injury – threw a TD pass to Ben Watson with 2:06 to go, but saw his 2-point pass picked off by Bryan Scott. On the ensuing kickoff, Leodis McKelvin fumbled and kicker Stephen Gostkowski – yes, the kicker – recovered at the Buffalo 31. Needing a TD to win, Brady delivered, hitting Watson from 16 yards out with 50 seconds remaining. "You're wasting your time guys, I've got nothing to say," said Terrell Owens following his Buffalo debut.

Dec. 1, 2013: Atlanta Falcons 34, Buffalo Bills 31

In what proved to be their final "home" game in Toronto, the Bills welcomed the 2-9 Falcons to Rogers Centre. After blowing a 14-point lead in the first quarter, a 10-point lead in the second quarter, and a seven-point lead in the fourth quarter, the Bills still had a chance to win. Twice. At the end of regulation, Stevie Johnson caught a pass over the middle on third-and-1, turned upfield, and he was already in Dan Carpenter's comfortable field goal range with less than 30 seconds to go when he fumbled the ball away. Then in overtime, Scott Chandler caught a pass over the middle and was steaming across midfield and into Atlanta territory when he also fumbled. The Falcons proceeded to drive to the winning field goal.

Dec. 21, 2014: Oakland Raiders 26, Buffalo Bills 24

The Bills were still in the playoff hunt. They were coming off a tremendous victory over the Packers. Now they were on the West Coast to play the awful 2-12 Raiders. This was the one game in a brutal December gauntlet that you had to figure was a gimme for the Bills. Of course, it wasn't. Derek Carr completed a pair of 50-yard passes that set up two touchdowns, and the Raiders eliminated the Bills from the postseason hunt.
