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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
As a Lions fan, that 2008 season stung especially bad. At least we almost made a Super Bowl last year. We might even make a Super Bowl this year. This team looks great all around now. Thanks Dan Campbell
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@jsamms0nthis 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
Wow, one of the worst teams ever was the 1972-73 Oilers. They won 2 games over a two year span and had the worse head coach in NFL history in Bill Peterson. Also missing the 1960 Dallas Cowboys: 0-11-1
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.
You have to remember Kitna had the Lions at 7-2 before the wheels fell off. Everybody was talking about them as a surprise team in the NFC and crediting him for it.
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
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.
1950 Baltimore Colts. 1-11. Third AAFC to enter NFL. Folded. 1952 Dallas Texans. 1-11. Formed out of assets from NY Yankees. League had to take over. Folded. Assets became Baltimore Colts. 1960 Dallas Cowboys. 0-11-1. Formed quickly to counteract AFL’s Texans. Eventually became “America’s Team.”
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 appreciate you not putting the 2006 Oakland Raiders on here. Their offense that year looked worse than a high school's while the defense was good enough for two wins.
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.
I'll never forget when he dropped straight down-just like LT's tackle. Football players are one. They know they are people first and entertainers second. Damar won the biggest lottery of all-life!
The 2008 Lions & 2017 Browns Have Alot In Common, They Both Went 4-0 In The Preseason & Went 0-16 In The Regular Season. They Both Had Horseshit Quarterbacks & So Many Lowlights.
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.
As an oilers and now Texans fan, I believe the Dallas cowboys deserve a lifetime number one spot on this list. Even if they won a Superbowl since Bootyache-man.
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
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.
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!
None of these teams come anywhere close to the Worst NFL Team in History!!! That would be the 1934 Cincinnati Reds! They still hold the league record for the worst attendance ever, averaging 5 spectators per game. They were so bad that the franchise was forced to permanently fold after the 8th game of the 11 game season, because they were unable to pay their league dues. They scored 10 points in those 8 games, a punt return and a field goal. They gave up 234 points.
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.
Honestly, watching Hue Jackson make a bunch of excuses for himself while being one of the absolute worst coaches in NFL history because he didn't know what he was doing and sucked at his job while intentionally sabotaging his team kind of says it all.
Well, now you have to cut the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from their first two seasons of big break because their really was no good expansion drafted at franchise in my opinion got screwed in the beginning, but they made up for that by getting to the NFC championship game against the Rams in’79.
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

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.
They lost to the Rams in the 1979 NFC Championship Game but point taken
Keep up your fantastic videos, God bless you
@@jsamms0n BLITZ is our new NFL channel 😅
@@jsamms0nthis 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
BRO THE PAPER BAG GUY PICTURE THAT SAY 0-16 WAS SO HILARIOUS 🤣 😂
Funny how good the Lions are doing at the moment. Hope they win the Super Bowl!
Did You Know Dan Campbell the current head coach of the Lions played on the 2008 lions
He was novachek's back up on the cowboys as well in the 90's
Draft an amazingly talented guy, same bad linesmen, receivers, and backs. No wonder they burnout.
Wow, one of the worst teams ever was the 1972-73 Oilers. They won 2 games over a two year span and had the worse head coach in NFL history in Bill Peterson. Also missing the 1960 Dallas Cowboys: 0-11-1
15:50 that sign explains the 2008 Lions’s season
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
Packers fan here! I wouldn’t be mad if the lions finally got there ring this season.
2024 Carolina Panthers.
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.
8:57 woah just skipping the part when we were 9 points away from the super bowl in 1979
You have to remember Kitna had the Lions at 7-2 before the wheels fell off. Everybody was talking about them as a surprise team in the NFC and crediting him for it.
I never understood why browns didn't give Terrell Pryor a shot at QB 😅 considering he was good in college 😅
Fortunately for Orlovsky he isn't the only one to do that now. He's one of three
Yeah, but he's still the first.
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.
The 2023 Giants might make a future version of this list
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.
Probably the 2024 team, it’s rough and I feel for my dad.
the 2024 team is just as bad unfortunately 😭
1981 colts 1991 colts 2001 panthers 1971 bulls 2008 lions 2017 browns 1976 buccaneers
1990 patriots
What about 2024 panthers?
Real question is how Orlovsky is an analyst for anyone
Watching this in the 2024 season its funny how the lions are the number 1 super bowel contender
Cleveland was just one game away from being 0-32. That would have been two consecutive winless seasons.
1950 Baltimore Colts. 1-11. Third AAFC to enter NFL. Folded. 1952 Dallas Texans. 1-11. Formed out of assets from NY Yankees. League had to take over. Folded. Assets became Baltimore Colts. 1960 Dallas Cowboys. 0-11-1. Formed quickly to counteract AFL’s Texans. Eventually became “America’s Team.”
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
7:24 that feeling when you have 18 knee surgeries tomorrow
I appreciate you not putting the 2006 Oakland Raiders on here. Their offense that year looked worse than a high school's while the defense was good enough for two wins.
2009 St. Louis Rams were AWFUL. 10.9 PPG on offense and second worst scoring defense in the NFL led to a 1-15 circus
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.
Worst teams in NFL history are….
2008 Detroit Lions
1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers
1980 New Orleans Saints
2001 Carolina Panthers
2017 Cleveland Browns
2007 Raiders
Jim harbaugh was QB on the 2001 panthers
The 3-13 2011 Vikings with Christian ponder were built different 🔥
all of the dolphins fans know we dodged a bullet with the 2007 Miami dolphins not being included in this video
Ain't that the truth. I remember that like it was yesterday.
They won 4 games in 3 years worst 3 season stretch of all time
Thankfully, the lions are making it up now
I'll never forget when he dropped straight down-just like LT's tackle. Football players are one. They know they are people first and entertainers second. Damar won the biggest lottery of all-life!
The 1982 colts as well
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
John McKay was asked at a press conference, what he thought of the execution of his offensive line. He said, "I'm all for it."
If I recall, the Oilers has a 2-14 season surrounded by losing seasons for a good few years either side.
The 2008 Lions & 2017 Browns Have Alot In Common, They Both Went 4-0 In The Preseason & Went 0-16 In The Regular Season. They Both Had Horseshit Quarterbacks & So Many Lowlights.
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
I was waiting for the Texans but they didn’t show so I’m happy
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.
The owner calling plays is just crazy.
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
12 punts by opponents in a season is crazy.
As an oilers and now Texans fan, I believe the Dallas cowboys deserve a lifetime number one spot on this list. Even if they won a Superbowl since Bootyache-man.
As a Browns fan let me point out that 2/5 ain’t that bad……it could always be worse
I truly appreciate you all leaving out the '07 Rams...and the '08 Rams, the '09 Rams, the '11 Rams...
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
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.
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!
OMG!! I remember those shitty Browns teams…they still live at the intersection of Hopeless Ave and Pathetic Drive. 🤣
💥💥People don't talk about how bad that 1981 Colts defense was when they bring up terrible teams.
let me purpose a team for part 2 the entire history of the NY Jets. Every season in existence, every team.
Wild that the Bucs make the NFC championship 3 years after 0-26. And had replay existed, would’ve made the SB
6:00 bro pooped during the game 😂
2024 LOINS ARE CRAZY 9-1!?
None of these teams come anywhere close to the Worst NFL Team in History!!!
That would be the 1934 Cincinnati Reds! They still hold the league record for the worst attendance ever, averaging 5 spectators per game. They were so bad that the franchise was forced to permanently fold after the 8th game of the 11 game season, because they were unable to pay their league dues.
They scored 10 points in those 8 games, a punt return and a field goal. They gave up 234 points.
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.
Going 0-16 with Megatron is a form of Art
Honestly, watching Hue Jackson make a bunch of excuses for himself while being one of the absolute worst coaches in NFL history because he didn't know what he was doing and sucked at his job while intentionally sabotaging his team kind of says it all.
Before watching this I know it’ll be the 76’ Bucs, but I gotta watch this anyway. Maybe 2008 Lions?
The lions are good this season bro we at the nfc conference championship
First time in about 31 years
Lions 12:59
You can't talk about the Browns without mentioning them throwing their draft pick away on "Johnny Football".
As a person who loves the Lions I gotta say this did not age well (they made it to the semifinals take this L)
Well, now you have to cut the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from their first two seasons of big break because their really was no good expansion drafted at franchise in my opinion got screwed in the beginning, but they made up for that by getting to the NFC championship game against the Rams in’79.
Hue Jackson stint for the Browns at 2-17 is the worse Head Coaching job in NFL history. 😢😢😢😢😢 Enough Said
The Detroit Lions Today Are Not Losers Anymore.
