Don't know if these are the ALL TIME but they were few of the biggest. Ranging from the Oilers' 1992 loss to the Bills after being up 35 to 3 through 1978 Red Sox through the 2004 Yankees.....

2004 Yankees and 2007 Mets would be my 1 and 2 . . .

but I am from Boston. So take that with a grain of salt or a Sam Adams or a bowl of chowdah or whatever we eat and drink here in Mass.

But seriously, nothing is worse that the 2004 Yankees. Nothing. Never been done and never will again.

No '51 Dodgers????

Is that the one the Giants won the pennant with a home run in the last game of the season?

Never been done in BASEBALL.
It's been done in Hockey.
TWICE.
The Yankees had a bad week. Nothing more. GRANTED, the timing of it su.cked (unless you're a-UGH-Red Sox fan), but as for the season, here are what probably should be listed as the top three:
1951 Dodgers
1964 Phillies
1969 Cubs
(Speaking as a NON-biased fan).

and lost to the Yankees

Same thing happened in 1962. The Dodgers had a 9 game lead in mid-August, the Giants caught them at the end of the season (which ended with both teams having a record of 101-61), forcing a best two-out-of-three playoff series. The Giants won it, and went on to lose in seven games to the Yankees in what was aruguably one of the greatest worlds series in history. Especially the way game 7 ended.

Whoever coined the phrase "baseball is a game of inches" must've watched the 9th inning of game 7 that year.

I tend to think if you're the first one to blow it, it's worse. I ranked the Red Wings ahead of the '04 Yankees, and the '64 Phillies ahead of the '07 Mets, the Oilers ahead of the Insight Bowl, Redskins ahead of the Chargers, etc.

how bout them Mets???

Up 7 with 17 games to play is a pretty bad collapse.

TO me the 2004 Yankees is the biggest one though, they were within 3 outs of a sweep then 4 outs from winning game 5 and in both games they had the best posteseason closer pitching.

The 2004 Yankees was probably the biggest collapse in a PLAYOFF series, but as for the entire season nothing will ever EVER match that of the 1969 Cubs. That's burned so vividly in my mind and will be there forever.
The 1964 Phillies was a big choke job too. I've never been a Phillies fan, but I can only imagine what THEY were feeling with just two weeks to go in the season.

I don't know what I'd rank as the biggest collapse of a single game.
Probably the Insight Bowl, or the AFC championship game between the Oilers & Bills. I was able to watch that one on TV.

I WOULD be curious to know what hurt Red Sox fans more-2003 or 1978.
If it were me, I'd say maybe 1978 because in 2003 there were at least IN the playoffs.
Just wondering.

EDIT-
A couple of "honorable mentions" to that list:
The 1984 Cubs & the 2003 Cubs.

Was the Bills-Oilers the AFC Championship game? I thought it was a regular playoff game. Either way that has to be the single biggest in game collapse.

For me, which hurt more 2003 or 1978? That is easy, 2003. In 1978 I had just turned 4 years old so I have no memory of that. But 2003 wasn't really a collapse, the score was only 5-2 in the 8th when NY came back to tie it. The way the game ended was tough but no matter how it ended if the Red Sox lost it would have been tough.

How about being up 10-8 in the last inning against a team who hadn't lost in 2 seasons, they have 2 on with 2 outs, a fly ball hit to the LC area, easy pop fly out to end the game but the fielder falls and it ends up being a GW inside -error helped- the park HR..... That's how we lost a softball game last week. But as you can tell I am over it now
