These are the five NFL teams that simply stand out above, or should we say below the rest. Follow BLITZ Instagram: / blitz Imagery supplied by Getty Images
There was an interview with Calvin Johnson about the '08 Lions, in which he said this... "During a staff meeting in the preseason, John Kitna approached the HC and OC about the offense that was being implemented. Kitna said to them, 'We're not going to win a single game if you make us run this offense.' Someone should've listened, because we were 0-16 after that." Kitna knew how bad the team was going to be before the season ever started. That has to be the worst feeling in the world, that it could’ve been prevented if they had only listened to their QB
How would that prevented anything. If the one man didn't go out and get a safety the team would've won that game against the Vikings. The thing is this though the Lions have always had only one good guy on their team. Calvin Johnson was that guy before they got Stafford. The Lions currently is probably the best that team has ever been in years.
one thing I can't stand about certain coaches is how they force their system onto their players. It should be the opposite, you should adjust the system to your roster not the other way around.
@@jayjayson9613 That's why I think Joe Gibbs doesn't get the credit he should. He won his first Super Bowl with a dependable QB in Joe Theismann and the power running of John Riggins; then with Doug Williams and the Fun Bunch; and then combination of the two with the help of a career year from Mark Rypien.
One of the things people pass up is that the browns had the chance to select a better qb, they had the picks, for some reason they thought that Kieser (who’s own coach suggested no one draft him) was their leader. They all (people from the combine and his own college staff) called him a work in progress.
Yeah Kizer was terrible. After he went 0-17, the Packers signed him to be the backup behind Rodgers for whatever reason. In the first game of the season Rodgers got hurt and Kizer came in and played like absolute dog shit. He fumbled the ball in the redzone and threw a pick 6. Thankfully Rodgers returned and mounted a comeback win, because watching Kizer play QB made me want to die.
My favourite story about the ‘76 Bucs was how before their first ever game at the Astrodome, they ran out from the locker room and charged towards the field, only to emerge into the car park to the bafflement of the late arriving fans as they taken the wrong turn… McKay does deserve a lot of credit for how he built them into a decent team in the following years and reached the NFC Championship game.
2021 Jags had their Moments though. They beat the 9-8 Dolphins that season who had playoff talent and were playoff caliber, beat the 11-6 AFC East Champion Buffalo Bills, and effectively kicked the red hot Colts out of playoff contention making the Colts fall to a 9-8 record. Despite them going 3-14, truly they had their moments. That being said there are genuinely other teams that deserve the honorable mention over them. Like their 2020 counterpart, which accumulated a pitiful record of 1-15.
Rod Marinelli, not Ron That Lion team went 4-0 in the preseason, I sat down to watch the first game against Atlanta, a team that had been terrible the previous year, and with a rookie QB, at the 1pm start time. 10 minutes later I was thinking "we may not win a game this year".
the lions were terrible that whole era it feels like, they always stood out in my mind as a kid as the worst team. if i remember right, they had a terrible record nearly every year in the 2000s
For the longest time, the Buccaneers' inaugural season in 76 was considered the worst in the NFL . . . then the Browns and Lions came along. It's nice not being #1 on this list. But seriously, the Bucs have come a long way since then. Highlighted by the fact they are one of two teams with a perfect win record in the Super Bowl (2 wins: both Tampa Bay and Baltimore), and they are the FIRST team in the Modern Era of the NFL to play in the Super Bowl in their home Stadium (SB LV, vs the Chiefs) and WIN. Having moments like that makes up for all the years of losing and heartache.
If you ask me, another team that deserves mention in this discussion is the 1991 Colts. At least for the 1976 Bucs, 2008 Lions, 2017 Browns, and most others who we’d mention when discussing the worst teams ever, you could say they were handed rather challenging schedules, and you could argue that if they were handed a more average set of opponents, they could have done better. The 91 Colts did get one win by one point, but if you account for quality of opponents, they played a schedule that was easier than average, and one of the easiest schedules of any team that played as poorly as they did statistically. They went went 1-15, were outscored by a kicker, had a running game that put up 3.3 yards per carry, had a second year Jeff George at quarterback (he had a mediocre to poor year in 91), and produced 29 sacks on defense while taking 57, and forced 59 punts (the third fewest) while taking 82 (tied for fifth most). If they were handed a more challenging schedule like several of those who get mentioned in conversations for the worst were, then the 91 Colts could have gone 0-16, with even worse team statistics. I would argue there could be a way to view that one as the worst seasons ever played, and it belongs in the conversation at minimum.
@@fortynights1513Plus, they were in a tough division then. The Bills were at the peak of their Super Bowl teams, the Dolphins were contenders, and the Jets were tough.
Growing up watching Barry and Batch. Made me love the lions as a kid. Growing up in northern cali and who’s dad was a Dallas fan (army brat ) respected my wish to not root for the 9’ners and raiders it has been a rough trip. But after those early years I stopped caring when they said lions sucked. Even embraced the 0-16 season with a jersey. I feel like I’m just happy to catch a game. Stoked if they win. And have a promise from my wife. If they ever make it to the Super Bowl I get to go that year. I don’t start the season with numbers and hope. I start each season just happy to watch and see what we can do.
It’s funny how they mention Orlovsky as the best of the 3 Lions QB’s in 2008.. Because he was also the best out of the 3 we had in Indy that disastrous 2011 season. Kerry Collins and Curtis Painter were beyond abysmal and when they finally put Orlovsky in, he won 2 back to back games. Glad he didn’t win more because that would’ve taken us out of the Luck sweepstakes.
People talk a lot about the 1976 Bucs being bad. What makes the Bucs different from the other teams on this list is the fact that they started in an era where free agency was not like it is today. A lot of their players were castoffs from other teams and aging veterans who were on their last leg. That's why all the injuries. All of the other teams besides them and Seattle were able to protect their best players in 1976. Notice that the 1995 Jacksonville Jags and Carolina Panthers fared much better in their first season and were deep playoff teams by their 3rd seasons.
I always felt like the 2016 Cleveland Browns were marginally worse than the 2017 Browns. They only beat an incompetent, underperforming Chargers team. They had a worse QB situation, they had a worse point differential, wasted Joe Thomas' last year and didn't have Myles Garrett yet.
@@jsamm09this is nonstops 2nd channel. They posted it in their community tab that nonstop would be basketball and this channel would be football. Stop spreading misinformation
So far, the 2023 Panthers would like to have a word: + Threat of 1-16 (one of the lowest win percentage ratings), + Struggling QB play (give Bryce time, he's a rookie), + Terrible O-line (Stroud would struggle if he were there; the o-line is where the Bryce hate goes to die, as well as the...), + Lackluster receiving talent (when an old Adam Thielen is your best guy(?), we used to have DJ More, but not anymore because...), + Oddball trade moves (traded our best receiver (DJ), as well as a bunch of draft capital, to get Bryce when we clearly were not ready to draft a new and flashy QB, especially bad now that our the recipients of that trade (DA BEARS) just beat us, Fitterer's seat should be volcanic), + Free-Agency Blunders (paying RB Sanders a lot of money while RB Hubbard has proven more effective), + Rampant Injuries (Young, Chark, Shenault, Burns, Horn, Thompson, Bell, Woods, Chinn; if you can name a Panther that's good this year, he's likely missed at least a game; shame Shaq was already done for the season after wk 2), + Poor Coaching and Game Management (would you seriously try a 59-yard FG attempt on a 4th & 10 with the game hanging on your drive, on the unreliable surface of Soldier Field in a road game, exposed to the windy elements of Chicago, when your kicker is not Justin Tucker!?, Coach Reich's seat should be unbearable as well), + Questionable hires (shoulda kept Wilks), + Getting blown out of the trenches (we allow sacks but don't get to opposing QB's often), + Lack of home atmosphere (home games are more like away games), + Turfy-field (injuries), + Ownership blunders (Tepper and the failed Rock Hill practice facility), + Losing for nothing (traded 1st rounder for 2024 to Chicago), + Lack of respect towards players (WHY HAVENT THEY PAID BURNS YET!?), + Overall pathetic quality of play (unwatchable), This could be a recipe for disaster on Mint St.
Hugh Jackson is the only coach in the history of sports who would lose 31 of 32 games and be allowed to keep his job(albeit temporarily). That said, for my money the worst team of all time are the 1976-77 Bucs. Before finally popping their cherry by stomping out the Saints(as well as beating my beloved Cardinals), they lost their first 26 games. Their ineptitude didn't wait. They didn't score a point until the 3rd game, didn't score their first TD until the 4th quarter of their 4th game(defensive TD) and didn't score their first offensive TD until late in that same game. In those 26 games, they were shutout 11 times(including a stretch in 1977 where they were shutout 4 out of 5 weeks and in the one game they scored it was only 7 points). In 1977, before scoring 33 against the Aints, they scored a whopping 53 points with 23 of those coming in 1 game. And in their first 2 seasons they scored a total of 228 points combined(8.14 PPG). Ironically, 2 seasons later they came within 10 points of going to the Super Bowl.
As a Seahawks fan they should’ve put the 1992 Seahawks on this list. Even though they went 2-14 they scored less points than all of these teams reviewed on this video except the 1976 Buccs. 140 total points in a 16 game season.
The Lions were the poster boys for an NFL franchise run by someone who had no clue what he was doing and hiring people to run his team who had no clue what they doing.
Bad team, especially offensively. But they already have two wins, and there are worse teams than them statistically, so they’re more likely to be forgotten.
The inaugural Buc team is absolute worst. That first year they scored 125 points were shut out in 5 of 14 games. Setting new records for futility. Back than teams stashed injured players in new teams draft from other teams. You didn’t have opportunity to check players out. After that expansion draft mckay stated his drafted players would be better and played almost all young players to build team. In the strongest divison in football afc west. Second year they moved to nfc central where they fit nicely three years later made nfc championship game playing cowboys in conference final in 1979. The irony is he built the wise team into one of best teams in three years without free agency.
Paper bags on heads and sections of empty seats can only mean one thing-an NFL team is terrible, OR named "Tampa Bay Buccaneers" or located in Los Angeles.
Tampa Bay won a post season game in 1979 against Philadelphia to advance and to host the NFC Championship Game against the Los Angeles Rams. So they won a post-season game before 1981.
Chargers 2000 season should be here at 1-15 It was Ryan Leaf last season in San Diego having missed the previous year with a shoulder injury He was worst than his rookie season At least they got LT and Drew Brees in the 2001 draft and turned it around... eventually
Why not say the 5 worst teams in the Super Bowl era? When you say "in NFL history" it makes you appear that you don't know the NFL is over 100 years old.
Honorable mention: the 1961 redskins were a disaster. A -218 point differential, shutout 3 times, the worst offense and the 2nd worst defense, allowing 37 passing tds in 14 games, in an era where passing the football was tough as hell, and having a rookie head coach paired with a rookie qb. It also didn't help that the 61 skins were the last all white nfl team. It took the us government getting involved for Washington to finally sign a black player. The nfl officially integrated in 1946. A 1-12-1 season. The only team they didn't lose to was the 4-9-1 Cowboys, who were in their 2nd year of existence
I do like that the general consensus among football fans is that even though *objectively* the 1976 Buccaneers are probably the worst football team ever assembled, they deserve a slight pass due to that being their first year and terrible injuries all across the board. Plus the one thing you didn't touch upon: The Expansion Draft. Most of that team was just a bunch of randos whom other teams cut. And they could only get half of the randos they wanted because the Seahawks also participated in it.
At nine minutes in we learn the Bucs "finaly won a playoff game under John McKay except that's what happened in 1979 when they beat the Eagles in the divisional playoff 24 to 17 where as they lost to the Cowboys in the wildcard playoff 38 to 0 in 1981. Get it right.
As a Detroit fan I think that we came back and this guy doesn’t know what he is talking about we have a actual good team now and we made it to the nfc championship so I would say please stop talking also this is our new team and in 2008 ik we were terrible but like they say I wish I lived in the present with the gift of my past mistakes but the future keeps luring in like a pack of snakes
John MacKay’s comment about horrendous tackling wouldn’t even be mentioned in todays games! NOONE TACKLES TODAY! Its just grabbing at or falling down swiping at a foot!
Nothing can beat the lions and browns as the worst of all time. Tampa was an expansion team, so I will give them a pass while also being riddled with injuries. Detroit and Cleveland were just abysmal to a degree that is incomprehensible to imagine. As my old man would say that is ineptitude at its highest level.
The Browns & Lions were both basically the Chiefs & Patriots of the 1950s. Facing against each other in four championship games & they both won back to back. Heck the Browns even spoiled the Lions three peat.
How they gonna say they been in the NFL for 75 years? Aren't the team they're claiming to be the ones that moved to Baltimore? They're technically an expansion team no? 😞 I simply don't understand
Well, the worst of the modern era. Some of the teams from the 30s and 40s were putrid by the standards of the day, let alone today's game. For example, the 1934 Cincinnati Reds went 0-8; scored 10 total points and were shut out in 6 of 8 games. Their point differential was -233. Their final game in the NFL was a 64-0 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, the worst shutout loss in league history. The Reds were suspended from the NFL for failing to pay league dues after eight games; and the last three games on the schedule were played by an independent team, the St. Louis Gunners.
Where high first round draft picks go to die. Cheap owners and their crappy teams should be limited to how many top 10 draft picks they receive in a 10 year period.
As a Miami fan I appreciate not throwing the 2007 Miami dolphins on here! 1-15 only win in OT was rough for a 12 year old me lol
as a fellow Dolphins fan, i approve this message
Then again that year yall got to watch the pats blow the undefeated season
Thank you for beating us in that game BTW, its what got Billick fired and led us to hire John

It is a bizarre decision for sure, but that’s kind of par for the course with Haslam.
Kieser?
Yeah Kizer was terrible. After he went 0-17, the Packers signed him to be the backup behind Rodgers for whatever reason. In the first game of the season Rodgers got hurt and Kizer came in and played like absolute dog shit. He fumbled the ball in the redzone and threw a pick 6.

Well I would say the 1971 bills
Either that team or the 1968 squad. Both teams were really bad.
Paper bags on heads and sections of empty seats can only mean one thing-an NFL team is terrible, OR named "Tampa Bay Buccaneers" or located in Los Angeles.
Funny how good the Lions are doing at the moment. Hope they win the Super Bowl!
The owner calling plays is just crazy.
The '08 lions was the first season i watched. To this day im still a fan of the lions, no where to go but up
At least the Lions are good this year
@@87alock They're mid.
@@soldier7332that’s what happens when you’re in the nfc north and the teams you play the most are ass
I was waiting for the Texans but they didn’t show so I’m happy
Thank for not doing the dolphins year in 07, we talk about 1972 dolphins
Tampa Bay won a post season game in 1979 against Philadelphia to advance and to host the NFC Championship Game against the Los Angeles Rams. So they won a post-season game before 1981.
Lion doing good this season they are ranked second in the nfl. As a lions fan I think they making it to the Super Bowl this year
They won 4 games in 3 years worst 3 season stretch of all time
Chargers 2000 season should be here at 1-15 It was Ryan Leaf last season in San Diego having missed the previous year with a shoulder injury He was worst than his rookie season At least they got LT and Drew Brees in the 2001 draft and turned it around... eventually
Leaf wasn’t good don’t get me wrong, but chances are he didn’t have much of a supporting cast either at that point.
Add the 2023 Panthers to this list
And coming soon 2024 Tennessee Titans
I’m surprised the Raiders didn’t have the worst season under McDaniels.
I never understood why browns didn't give Terrell Pryor a shot at QB 😅 considering he was good in college 😅
Top 5 worst NFL teams. Browns make it twice.
2023 panthers making their case pretty good
honorable mention to the new orleans Aints, that is where the bagged faces started
Why not say the 5 worst teams in the Super Bowl era? When you say "in NFL history" it makes you appear that you don't know the NFL is over 100 years old.
Going 0-16 with Megatron is a form of Art
Honorable mention: the 1961 redskins were a disaster. A -218 point differential, shutout 3 times, the worst offense and the 2nd worst defense, allowing 37 passing tds in 14 games, in an era where passing the football was tough as hell, and having a rookie head coach paired with a rookie qb. It also didn't help that the 61 skins were the last all white nfl team. It took the us government getting involved for Washington to finally sign a black player. The nfl officially integrated in 1946. A 1-12-1 season. The only team they didn't lose to was the 4-9-1 Cowboys, who were in their 2nd year of existence
9:07 Waaaaay more satisfying than the next ring
Tuned in to see if the les steckle vikings was on here where the late bud grant came out of retirement for the only win
8:57 Tampa Bay actually won their first playoff game in 1979.
I remember the New Orleans Ain’ts . They started the paperbags
0-17 with Cleveland
Made me 😂🤣
0-16 OK
let me purpose a team for part 2 the entire history of the NY Jets. Every season in existence, every team.
How do you go 0-16 without tanking at all and also damn can you believe that megatron was on that team in 08
Question. How bad were the ‘81 Patriots to be the only team the Colts beat that season? And beat twice.
Browns are good now but over all my lifetime the 2020 and 2023-2024 seasons have to be the best ones that I have seen
13:13 now look. Nfc championship game
I’m a 49ers fan, but they have a chance.
@BaababyTexas man, GG. Hope the ninera win the superbowl
As a Browns fan let me point out that 2/5 ain’t that bad……it could always be worse
Wait so my 2023 giants aren't on this?
I do like that the general consensus among football fans is that even though *objectively* the 1976 Buccaneers are probably the worst football team ever assembled, they deserve a slight pass due to that being their first year and terrible injuries all across the board.
Plus the one thing you didn't touch upon: The Expansion Draft.
Most of that team was just a bunch of randos whom other teams cut. And they could only get half of the randos they wanted because the Seahawks also participated in it.
The lions are good this season bro we at the nfc conference championship
First time in about 31 years
Im a lions fan that hurt
At nine minutes in we learn the Bucs "finaly won a playoff game under John McKay except that's what happened in 1979 when they beat the Eagles in the divisional playoff 24 to 17 where as they lost to the Cowboys in the wildcard playoff 38 to 0 in 1981. Get it right.
Any team that starts Curtis Painter is in a very bad spot. Lmao
Hue jackson is one of the worst coaches of all time
Hey the loins are the best team now. We can make it to the supper bowl
As a Detroit fan I think that we came back and this guy doesn’t know what he is talking about we have a actual good team now and we made it to the nfc championship so I would say please stop talking also this is our new team and in 2008 ik we were terrible but like they say I wish I lived in the present with the gift of my past mistakes but the future keeps luring in like a pack of snakes
Imagine losing every game.
Wild that the Bucs make the NFC championship 3 years after 0-26. And had replay existed, would’ve made the SB
The 1996 Jets belong on this list as a Jets fan
Before watching this I know it’ll be the 76’ Bucs, but I gotta watch this anyway. Maybe 2008 Lions?
💥💥People don't talk about how bad that 1981 Colts defense was when they bring up terrible teams.
despite 77' bucs having 2 wins (one on my saints ): ) they still somehow possessed the 2nd most horrible offense of nfl history
(i know this is and old ass video) but the Lions making a comeback sure we had some bad seasons but we’re back innit baby!
Not worst team, they just had bad season 🤷🏾♂️
Hue Jackson stint for the Browns at 2-17 is the worse Head Coaching job in NFL history. 😢😢😢😢😢 Enough Said
John MacKay’s comment about horrendous tackling wouldn’t even be mentioned in todays games! NOONE TACKLES TODAY! Its just grabbing at or falling down swiping at a foot!
the Lions have come close to playing in a Superbowl. 1991 they played in the NFC Championship, they were throttled by the Redskins but thats close.
They were even closer back in 2023 against the 49ers.
@@Rickman897 my comment predates that game
I love being A bucs fan because our division rivals always still try to disrespect us but cant take away our 2 rings and will never catch up 😅
Where are the '92 Seahawks?
Nothing can beat the lions and browns as the worst of all time. Tampa was an expansion team, so I will give them a pass while also being riddled with injuries. Detroit and Cleveland were just abysmal to a degree that is incomprehensible to imagine. As my old man would say that is ineptitude at its highest level.
The Browns & Lions were both basically the Chiefs & Patriots of the 1950s. Facing against each other in four championship games & they both won back to back. Heck the Browns even spoiled the Lions three peat.
Which team will go 0-17?
How they gonna say they been in the NFL for 75 years? Aren't the team they're claiming to be the ones that moved to Baltimore? They're technically an expansion team no? 😞 I simply don't understand
That version of the Cleveland Browns was 17 only years old, not 67 years old.
the 09 rams should definitely be in the top 2.
Want to know what’s ironic. Matt Stafford gave the 09 Rams their only win in his rookie year. Then Matt gives them their second Super Bowl win.
detroit is getting better
Well, the worst of the modern era. Some of the teams from the 30s and 40s were putrid by the standards of the day, let alone today's game. For example, the 1934 Cincinnati Reds went 0-8; scored 10 total points and were shut out in 6 of 8 games. Their point differential was -233. Their final game in the NFL was a 64-0 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, the worst shutout loss in league history. The Reds were suspended from the NFL for failing to pay league dues after eight games; and the last three games on the schedule were played by an independent team, the St. Louis Gunners.
Where high first round draft picks go to die. Cheap owners and their crappy teams should be limited to how many top 10 draft picks they receive in a 10 year period.
Ummmmm Josh Cribbs may have had something to do with Cleveland then
The winless season for the Lions was just…disgraceful.
