Re: Your Worst Tantrum
I don't remember any big tantrums but the angriest I've ever been watching the Ravens was in the second half of the 2014 playoff game in New England as our defense passively sat off and watched Brady and Edelman as they dealt out death by 1000 cuts. I got more and more furious as they gave up 8 yards per play again and again without trying anything, not blitzing, not tighter coverage, nothing.
I was so angry at Pees that game. It was also the first example of Harbaugh's proud playoff tradition of non-intervention as a co-ordinator rigidly sticks to a failing plan like a slow motion nightmare leading to our inevitable defeat.

Re: Your Worst Tantrum
Patriots games for sure, basically all of them lol.
Cundiff miss was pure shock not anger. Was in a house with ~30 people watching and everyone silently filed out utterly crushed, legitimately felt like a heavy funeral, no one dared crack a smile or hold eye contact.
But 2nd half of 2014 was brutal. Remember one crucial drive the Pats scored on where Brady threw what felt like every single play over the hapless left corner forced into starting, I think fucking Rashaan Melvin? I was furious, even I knew what was coming and was just raging as there was nothing being done to stop it.
The worst though was whatever game it was where after some play Brady started bitching at the ref because someone grazed him (think Suggs?) and well after the fact the ref threw the roughing flag. This was at the peak of it genuinely seeming like the Patriots got all the calls, and I snapped, was forced by friends to sit down before I broke my friend's new very expensive HD TV. I guess not much of a tantrum but that was the most concentrated rage I've felt.
4th and 12 I was with friends getting ready for NYE party and just decided to get hammered.

Tough losses to the Bengals in the Marvin Lewis era made me feel... bitter.
I felt the Ravens had better teams than them for the most part and then they played to the Bengals level or the defense somehow bottle it at the end.

Re: Your Worst Tantrum
I didn't throw a tantrum but remember walking home from my friend's house crying when the Packers beat the Colts in that playoff game in '65. Don Chandler kicked the phantom field goal in the fog at Lambeau that tied the game 10-all with less than 2 minutes to play. Jim Tunney standing under the middle of the goal posts called it good even though Chandler turned away in disgust after he kicked it because he knew it was wide right. I was devastated. I was also 9 years old. Threw myself down on the couch when I got home and was inconsolable. Because of that game, the league added 10-feet to the uprights and stationed a ref under each goal post.

Steeler's loss in 2017. Weddle not being able to keep A. Brown out of the EZ at the end of the game.

Re: Your Worst Tantrum
Some say that to this day Derrick Martin is still looking back & up into the foggy Heinz Field lights for that football, which has long since been caught for a touchdown! Albeit, despite said infamous play, at least the aforementioned 6th Round selection was better than fellow DB draftee, 3rd Rounder David Pittman!
