They were competitive in many games that year. I'm not sure who the worst was, assuming it's even possible for one team to stand out above the others, but the 76 Bucs have to be on the short list. Incredibly, laughably bad. True, I forgot them when I made the thread. They were an expansion team though so they get a bit of a pass compared to the other ones on this list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawgX Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Kinda hard to say the Rams over two teams that went winless, but I remember that Rams team being very, very bad. Besides barely beating a terrible Lions team (the year after they went winless), they got destroyed in so many games that year if I'm remembering correctly. The Lions were bad too, but IIRC, they were at least somewhat competitive in their games. And the Browns went 0-16 simply due to totally inept coaching and atrocious QB play. If they had a QB/HC that were even just slightly below average and not one of the worst QB/HC combos ever, then I think they'd win at least one game.

I’ve seen a handful of teams worse than the 2017 Browns Put Tyrod Taylor on the 2017 Browns and they probably go down as a 2-14 type team no one remembers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETSGOBROWNIES Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 The ‘17 Browns didn’t have an 0-16 roster, the had an 0-16 coach paired with a 3-4 win roster. Hue won out there, which is something that can’t often be said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibrown Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 If we keep Josh McCown we something and not 16. Hue was soooooo bad under pressure. Over reliance on Josh Gordon in '16 and '17. Doesnt know a legit qb to to a dud literally save himself. Sigh. Spent $300 to get game pass for that turd of a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrry32 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 They were the worst team I ever saw. Steven Jackson carried the team to a win. I still remember that Lions game. He was inhuman in that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladimir L Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Browns kept games close and had talent. Just had the worst coachin the modern era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredibly, laughably bad. That team was a trip. They lost 26 games in a row, 0-16 in '76 then 2-14 in '77. But in the blink of an eye the hapless Bucs got good and actually hosted the NFC Championship game in Tampa to finish the '79 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom cody Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 The 2008 Lions were winless. I think the worst team discussion is reserved for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightime Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Average point differential: 2009 Rams: -17 2008 Lions: -16 2017 Browns: -11 Number of losses by 3 or more possessions: 2009 Rams: 8 2008 Lions: 7 2017 Browns: 4 Divisional Strength 2009 Rams: Won by 10-6 Cardinals 2008 Lions: Won by 10-6 Vikings 2017 Browns: Won by 13-3 Steelers Clearly, the 2017 Browns were an unlucky team. A very bad team in a very tough AFC North. The other teams were simply putrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elky Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I don't care about point differential and all that jazz, you are what you're record says. The 2008 Lions and 2017 Browns failed to win a single game. The 2017 Browns couldn't even beat the Steelers backups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was one of the ugliest games I can remember - and I've seen my fair share as a Browns fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Pence Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 If you're talking about the scope of the entire Super Bowl era, I think the 1976 Bucs have this one in a canter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
