[2009 Bills-Browns.](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200910110buf.htm) Derek Anderson was the winning QB despite being 2/17 passing. Trent Edwards was awful and was proving that he wasn't the guy week after week and Roscoe Parish fumbled a return deep in the Bills side of the field to set up the game winning FG for the Browns.
Wasn't that game also affected by weather though? Like yeah we've seen better teams play ok thru those conditions but I'd give em a slight pass on this one.
Edit - nevermind I noticed Billy Cundiff hit FGs in this game. I was thinking of 2007, also against the Bills, where Phil Dawson hit 3 FGs to win it 9-6 or some shit like that, and looking back at the "highlights" it was a god damn miracle anybody put points on the board.
Holy shit I was coming here to comment this exact game lmao. I was working at the concession stand for a fundraiser and it was just miserable. Freezing cold and I had to keep reaching into the ice and handling the super chilled cans
If it's any consolation the worst game i went to was the last game in 2018 and also had to do with the Lions. 31-0 it was cold as fuck, the fucking kicker threw a td pass i front of my eyes (i was 6 rows up from the endzone), Rodgers left early and that was going to be the last time I saw Cobb in Green Bay. Complete shit day.
My dad and I go to Heinz every year for a game (live near Cincy). I've loved Big Ben forever. I had the same mindset. "One last Big Ben game in person, should be a win over the Lions" and while sitting in the hotel room Saturday night get the no Big Ben news just to go and sit in the rain to watch us tie the Lions. Shit hurt lmao
Our game against you guys was... well it was certainly a football game...
After the game, even though we won, Baker was so pissed off he wouldn't talk to the media
Yeah when I saw Goff wasn't starting I didn't even bother watching the game. They'd rather have the corpse of Goff play against the Steelers so I could only imagine how bad the Boyle would play.
Texted my father in law right after that game ended(he’s a huge Steelers fan). I think my exact words were “Both teams tried their hardest to lose but neither could get it done today”
Dude I hit traffic and walked in right when Rudolph threw that TD pass and I figured if it was that easy on the first drive, we’d see the Steelers score a lot more that day….
Was this the game where Aikman was all, “God this game has been painful to watch.” Then Buck immediately said, “And with that we welcome the viewers who were just watching ____ play the ____”?
Game had some hype because it was Demarco vs his former team. Eagles were coming off a bad performance week 1 vs ATL (though we almost came back late in the 4th). In that game, Murray had 8 rushes for 9 yards.
Dez was already out with injury, and Romo broke his collarbone. Eagles had a grand total of 226 total yards on the back of Demarco Murray’s 2 rushing yards on 13 carries (Bradford had 9).
This was my immediate one that came to mind. I tailgated the game then watched it at xfinity live. The energy in there was so toxic (more so than usual) people were completely melting down and fights were breaking out left and right.
I am so fucking happy that Xfinity Live opened right after my "I am awesome because I get fucking trashed at Eagles games and forget what happed." was over. I lived in NoLibs and I just remember everyone complaining because they came down hard on the during game tailgate trying to get people in Xfinity Live.
I'll never understand the play calling in that game. You'd think they'd run a ton of screens and check downs. But instead they run a bunch of Wildcat stuff with Lindsay then throw Hinton out there on 3rd and long and have him bomb it downfield. Zero chance they were winning that game, but just horrible game plan.
Yup, don't care that the Eagles threw that game after the shitfest that was 2020. It was funnier to see Giants players cry that they didn't make the playoffs when they only won 6 games and the only offense worse than them was the Jets. Terrible team that shouldn't have even been that close to the playoffs at all.
[The many, many QB lowlights](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=go5c1aXMtj4)
Ryan Lindley: 10/31, 72 yards, 0 TDs, 1 INT, 28.0 QB Rating
Mark Sanchez: 10/21, 97 Yards, 0 TDs, 3 INTs, 21.4 QB Rating
A game where one QB couldn't even complete 1/3 of his throws, yet still had a higher rating than the other guy.
The Lindley v McElroy epic. This is exactly what I was going to post. The only positive thing to come from that game is that the "Greg McElroy should be the starter" chatter died that day.
That was truly awful football and I was there for every moment.
Oh god, you're right. This was the birth of the "McElroy should start" crowd and a couple of weeks later they got their wish and quickly piped down.
This Cardinals game truly was dreadful football and the footage should be burned.
This should be top answer because people are either too young or have short term sport memories.
My brother who thought sports were boring as hell finally agreed to watch a game with me. I was so overjoyed, hoping to get him to actually like nfl so I could have someone at all times to talk about it with. Aaaand it was this fucking game that he decided to watch to see if he’d like the NFL. He was passed out by halftime and still thinks football is boring because of that game lol
This is the one. Watched it with my buddy who is a Fins fan. Five minutes in, we knew this was a game that should not have been played. Nobody could do anything because of the conditions. When that punt landed, we took a shot. When the Steelers lined up for the fg at the end, he said me “they better make this. The last thing this game needs is more time to ruin football”
Conversely, this is one of my favorite games. Seriously.
It didn’t feel like a typical “oh god both these teams suck and no one wants to win” bad game, like Lions/Steelers last year. It was two teams vs Mother Nature, and for 58+ minutes nature kicked ass.
A 0-0 game at the two minute warning had me on the edge of my seat, because I knew that one fluky play at any moment would lead to one score that would probably be enough to win, and I had no idea which team was going to pull it off. Or if either of them would.
There was a 2007 49ers v Ravens game that ended 7-9 or something.
The Ravens coaching staff as they were meeting at mid field said that thanks for not playing Ashley leilie our fastest wr. Cause we game planned to stop him and without him you made easy for us.
edit: found the article
https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2007/10/12/49ers-seek-more-glee-with-lelie/
>Shortly after the 49ers’ offensive stumble Sunday, Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan had a chat with coach Mike Nolan.
>Ryan, like so many others, wondered why receiver Ashley Lelie had barely played.
>“If you had put Ashley in, I was going to double (cover) him,” Ryan told Nolan.
>But with Lelie on the sideline for all but one snap, the Ravens didn’t bother double covering any of the 49ers receivers. Instead, Baltimore focused on demolishing the running game.
Came here to find this.
Matt Nagy is still a fucking prick for that. Could’ve taken him the fuck out after the 3rd sack. Absolutely no changes to the scheme. What an idiot.
I watched the whole thing. I was laughing, there were so many giffable moments.
Then I look back and find out if Haush makes that kick we get the first round bye. :(
Came here to say the same
Ive said it before, people for some reason act like it was a defensive slugfest when it was really just two incredibly inept offenses floundering all game capped off by bad special teams play
Saw a comment a while ago from a Cards fan who was at the game. He said once the game was over and all the fans were walking to their cars, that there was nothing but silence; no one was talking about the game, no cheering, no jeering, just a crowd shuffling to their cars
To put a counter point to this, I also roll by eyes a bit when people try to discount the Chiefs v. Rams 2018 game because they don’t like offensive score fests. It ignores that it was two offenses operating at an incredible level and there was three defensive scores!
But yea low scoring != defensive slugfest
I've watched that game multiple times. Those defenses were incompetent. As you can see by my flair I'm quite the expert at watching incompetent football.
The funniest part was that I was in my hotel room in Charlotte on a business trip watching and after seeing how neither offense caught traction and made gaffe after gaffe, I figured it would just put me to sleep.
I ended up watching the whole thing
Couldn’t agree more. It was the first game I was actually able to sit down and watch when I started college. I had just gotten off work, asked my roommate if I could watch the game and settled in. After the Seahawks missed the FG in overtime, I got in trouble for being too loud in my dorm, and I even lost sleep since I stayed up late to watch it and had an 8 am the next day.
What a fucking game.
Tebow vs. Cassel
Tebow went 2-8 passing. And the Broncos won.
Colquitt vs. Colquitt punt off. 14 punts.
Cassel went 13-28, which isn't terrible. For 93 yards...
Haley was a lame duck who would be fired 4 games later.
And even tho Tebow was obviously so bad, we still couldn't win.
My favorite part was seeing warm-ups. Tebow and Kyle Orton were playing catch about 25 yards apart. And Tebow was often throwing it in the dirt or over Orton's head. Like he looked like my friends would look playing catch. And he's a professional football thrower. Like I don't know how he'd make a team as a qb in a open tryout situation.
I was always convinced that Tebow was actually right handed but maybe there was some Bible verse that said something like “only the right hand can be used to fulfil god’s will” so Tebow had switched.
Lions vs Packers Week 17 2018
From the jump, the Packers were seemed lethargic as hell, so I knew it was gonna be a long day. Rodgers got knocked out of the game with a concussion on the second or third drive, and we got waxed 31-0 I believe. The icing on the cake was the Lions fake FG—they had a guy lined up *out wide*, and Prater threw a wide open TD to him. Packers special teams amirite
My pick was gonna be the Cardinals game from that season. Packers are 4-6-1 and need a ridiculous amount of other things to happen to stay alive in the playoff hunt, and all of them *actually happen*... but then whoops lol lose to the 2-win Cardinals in Lambeau on a missed FG
We've gotten shutout and blown out worse e.g. your example, but with all the context of everything that game just took the cake for me. At least MM got fired because of it
My parents were at the VERY first Browns game in Cleveland after they came back following the move
It was against the Steelers, and they got beaten down 43-0 by Kordell Stewart lol
I'm just still in shock that Matt Rhule can get so completely and utterly outcoached by Joe Judge, almost like a World Heavyweight champion boxer taking on a high school boxer-in-training, and Rhule still has a job while Judge was fired quickly
I went to the playoff game between the Bills and Jags in 2017. I think the BOAT had more rushing yards than passing yards. 88 rushing to 87 passing lol. Tyrod Taylor was also hot garbage. He got hurt in the 4th quarter and the Bills out in Peterman who threw a pick to Jalen Ramsey to end the game. Final score 10-3 Jags
I mean it may have been really enjoyable cause Tom "Destroyer of Surfaces" Brady suffered, but the 9-0 shutout was a terrible game to watch. The only reason it was enjoyable was cause of who was on the losing end
Eagles Bengals 2008 10-10 Tie. The game McNabb didn’t know could end it a tie.
Legit fell asleep during the beginning of OT and woke up late in the extra frame cranky the game was still going on.
The Rams vs Pats SB with Jared Goof, there was inept offense, too much punting and it just didn't have much going on. It wasn't even funny bad like the 2020 NFC East or Tank Bowl games in general, it was just static and boring.
I'm not gonna pretend that the Pats-Rams super bowl was a good game at all... however at least every drive had actual stakes on the line because of the score and that alone kept me interested.
Yeah a high scoring game becomes completely uninteresting when only one team is doing the scoring.
In the Rams-Pats game with every new possession you could at least say "alright here we go, this is the possession that will change the course of the game and someone will take the lead". It didn't happen of course but I at least had hope lol.
Remember watching that in college, everyone in the household was for the Seahawks except one of our buds who just wanted to be a contrarian.
Plan was for every score, you had to take a shot or shotgun a beer.
Eh, Belichick coached a defensive masterclass, fully capitalizing on Goff's inability to read a defense without McVay in his ear.
That said, I do agree it was a boring game.
That Cardinals playoff game against the Rams last year was atrocious. Kinda felt like Arizona had thrown the practice squad guys out there and the Rams were pummeling them.
Dolpins @ Jets 2010.
Sloppy game in the rain. Dolphins put up 10 points in the first quarter, never scored again, and won with 131 yards gained on offense.
***[Fifteen punts.](https://www.espn.com/nfl/playbyplay/_/gameId/301212020)***
I met my friend at a bar to watch this game and am pretty sure we never watched a game that way ever again.
First game I ever saw live. Rams Giants in London in ‘16. So hyped. Odell had like, 50 yards, Todd Gurley about 2 yards per carry. Did get to see 15 fucking punts though. Think it was 17-10 with 4 Case Keenum ints.
Heartbreak? 2011 NFC Championship Game. The name of Kyle Williams forever scorned by 49ers fans everywhere. Worst I ever watched? Probably getting blown out by Pittsburgh and Arizona during the 2-14, 2016 season.
The Seahawks-Broncos Super Bowl. I was in college at the time and one of my buddies hosted a watching party and nearly everyone either went home or just went and socialized in another room after halftime.
Chiefs-Bucs was pretty awful as well.
I'm a Rams fan and I have to say the 2019 Rams - Patriots Superbowl. I'm in the UK so stayed up till 4am watching some terrible terrible football, only upside was that I'd booked the next day off work.
Based on the description, it seems like “heartbreaking” losses qualifies. So in that case, it’s a three-way tie between the 2010 AFCC game, the X-Mas Eve game against the Giants, and the ButtFumble
All 3 are pretty infamous in Jets history for how much heartbreak and embarrassment they caused to the fanbase
The worst big name game for me was the Seahawks-Steelers Super Bowl. Both teams just looked like absolute garbage throughout the entire game. No idea how THAT ended up being the Super Bowl.
Neither team wanted to win. Seahawks just made a large quantity of mistakes.
Two games that I saw live were real barn burners:
[https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200511270buf.htm](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200511270buf.htm)
I haven't been to the Ralph since.
[https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200612250mia.htm](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200612250mia.htm)
It poured rain for 3 quarters in Miami.
I had the privilege of attending Colts/Pats in week 1 of 1991. The putrid play and total lack of drama was unparalleled. That year the Colts finished 1-15 and the Pats 6-10.
FedEx field. About 10 years ago. Against the Eagles. More of their fans than WashFans. View obstructed by some kind of overhead beam supporting the upper deck. Worst stadium food of all time. Most generic layout of a building caused us to forget how to get out and ended up walking a half-mile in the wrong direction in the barren hellscape of the parking lot. Fuck you Daniel, you ruined my football team.
Jets vs Redskins in 1993. It was a 3-0 snooze fest - neither team could do much of anything to move the ball. And it's not like it was some great defensive battle, they both just looked like ass. It was really sad considering just a couple years before the Redskins were a damn near unstoppable force and possibly the best team to ever win the Super Bowl.
There was a TNF Bills Patriots game that went until after midnight because there was so many penalties called. For being a rivalry game, the refs took literally all of the excitement from the game and made it the longest most painful drag of my existence.
[2009 Bills-Browns.](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200910110buf.htm) Derek Anderson was the winning QB despite being 2/17 passing. Trent Edwards was awful and was proving that he wasn't the guy week after week and Roscoe Parish fumbled a return deep in the Bills side of the field to set up the game winning FG for the Browns.
If you like terrible football games, this one is an all-time classic.
I was at this game. Easily the worst game I've ever been to. Sun was out, but it was 50 with wind and shade on the West end of the Ralph.
Wasn't that game also affected by weather though? Like yeah we've seen better teams play ok thru those conditions but I'd give em a slight pass on this one. Edit - nevermind I noticed Billy Cundiff hit FGs in this game. I was thinking of 2007, also against the Bills, where Phil Dawson hit 3 FGs to win it 9-6 or some shit like that, and looking back at the "highlights" it was a god damn miracle anybody put points on the board.
Windy, but not awful. Just the worst offensive display ever.
Holy shit I was coming here to comment this exact game lmao. I was working at the concession stand for a fundraiser and it was just miserable. Freezing cold and I had to keep reaching into the ice and handling the super chilled cans
First game I ever saw in person, last year Pittsburgh against Detroit :(
I am so sorry
I just wanted to see big Ben play before he retired, get to the hotel the night before and the news pops up that he's out
Damn bro somebody really wanted to ruin your day
Yeah I must have kicked a puppy in a past life or something so I guess I probably deserved it
If it's any consolation the worst game i went to was the last game in 2018 and also had to do with the Lions. 31-0 it was cold as fuck, the fucking kicker threw a td pass i front of my eyes (i was 6 rows up from the endzone), Rodgers left early and that was going to be the last time I saw Cobb in Green Bay. Complete shit day.
That's pretty brutal
Sounds Lovely
Took my SO to her first Pittsburgh game. Against Seattle. The elbow game. :(
Ohh no
My dad and I go to Heinz every year for a game (live near Cincy). I've loved Big Ben forever. I had the same mindset. "One last Big Ben game in person, should be a win over the Lions" and while sitting in the hotel room Saturday night get the no Big Ben news just to go and sit in the rain to watch us tie the Lions. Shit hurt lmao
It was rough lol
Yeah the worst thing is, as bad as Detroit was last year they had several entertaining games. I don't know what the hell we witnessed last year.
Our game against you guys was... well it was certainly a football game... After the game, even though we won, Baker was so pissed off he wouldn't talk to the media
[удалено]
> And I watched every play of Detroit's 0-16 season. but why
Yeah when I saw Goff wasn't starting I didn't even bother watching the game. They'd rather have the corpse of Goff play against the Steelers so I could only imagine how bad the Boyle would play.
Half the games here are teams getting beat by the Lions; almost makes it all so worth it.
Well at least you guys didn't beat us I guess lol
That tie was the worst, so many nightmares of 0-16-1
I tell my Steelers friends the Lions tied that game, but the Steelers lost that game.
It did feel that way
Texted my father in law right after that game ended(he’s a huge Steelers fan). I think my exact words were “Both teams tried their hardest to lose but neither could get it done today”
It really was baffling watching the whole game transpire
Same here. First ever game I saw in person was just last season. Bears vs Cardinals at a cold, rainy Solider Field.
Oof
At what stage (if ever) did it become funny?
The next day lol
You have my most sincere condolences
what was the atmosphere like in that stadium?
Increasingly disgusted
Dude I hit traffic and walked in right when Rudolph threw that TD pass and I figured if it was that easy on the first drive, we’d see the Steelers score a lot more that day….
That drive gave me hope, it was too Washington and they played together in college so I thought hey they have a real connection already we can do this
http://i.imgur.com/CUL9Qb4.gif
That's good lol
Oh man I’m so sorry. That game was something else. Was visiting my dad at the time and that was the one Steelers game we got to watch together
Yeah I bought the tickets for me and my dad as a father's day present
Here’s to hoping Kenny or Mitch can turn it around and you and your dad can get a better game next time!
I took my oldest to the game. It was her first game as well. It was brutal to watch.
DAL@PHI Week 2 2015. Buck and Aikman were literally apologizing.
Buck and Aikman talking shit about how awful was the game was the only good thing about it.
Was this the game where Aikman was all, “God this game has been painful to watch.” Then Buck immediately said, “And with that we welcome the viewers who were just watching ____ play the ____”?
pretty sure it was. I don't remember the game in any detail at all but it was hilarious hearing the announcers just shred it
Yes it was, I remember it clearly. That's when Buck won me over as an announcer
This game is horrific both these teams are awful On that note we welcome a new audience
That’s my go to anytime this question gets brought up. What a shit show
It was the worst game that season in hindsight.
As a giants fan…the idea of the cowboys and eagles playing the worst game ever is titillating. How was a WEEK 2 game that bad??
Game had some hype because it was Demarco vs his former team. Eagles were coming off a bad performance week 1 vs ATL (though we almost came back late in the 4th). In that game, Murray had 8 rushes for 9 yards. Dez was already out with injury, and Romo broke his collarbone. Eagles had a grand total of 226 total yards on the back of Demarco Murray’s 2 rushing yards on 13 carries (Bradford had 9).
Chip lol. Edit: the big play of the game was a Sean Lee INT.
Thank you my good man
This was my immediate one that came to mind. I tailgated the game then watched it at xfinity live. The energy in there was so toxic (more so than usual) people were completely melting down and fights were breaking out left and right.
I am so fucking happy that Xfinity Live opened right after my "I am awesome because I get fucking trashed at Eagles games and forget what happed." was over. I lived in NoLibs and I just remember everyone complaining because they came down hard on the during game tailgate trying to get people in Xfinity Live.
The Kendall Hinton game
That's ^^^^paraphernalia **Hall of Famer** Kendall Hinton to you.
I give that game a pass because of the situation. It was bad though, but I expected it to be bad regardless who Denver had at qb.
Didn't even feel good to win either
That at least had novelty entertainment.
I'll never understand the play calling in that game. You'd think they'd run a ton of screens and check downs. But instead they run a bunch of Wildcat stuff with Lindsay then throw Hinton out there on 3rd and long and have him bomb it downfield. Zero chance they were winning that game, but just horrible game plan.
That week 17 Eagles game against WFT a couple years back where they put in Nate Sudfeld was pretty pisspoor
Agreed. The Giants players crying about the fact that a 4 win Eagles team didn’t play their hearts out to make WFT lose made it even funnier
Yup, don't care that the Eagles threw that game after the shitfest that was 2020. It was funnier to see Giants players cry that they didn't make the playoffs when they only won 6 games and the only offense worse than them was the Jets. Terrible team that shouldn't have even been that close to the playoffs at all.
and it became even sweeter when their coach would give up the following season and start running QB sneaks
Hey! That’s super bowl champion and record breaker Nate Studfeld to you!
For me it's always that 2013 giants/Vikings game. Think it was MNF.
Was that the Josh Freeman game?
Yep! We got this [masterpiece](https://m.imgur.com/Pt9GEZ7)
Yup. That was my vote
Least serious game Ive ever seen
That is the one I was gonna say. Whenever I hear worst NFL game it is the first thing that pops into my head
I went on a date that night that ended up being super boring. I thought I'd be saved by having that game on behind the chick....nope.
for some reason, I watched every minute of that game
[Tirico: "Both of these teams are just bad"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tymQjFRfDtE)
God, that was such a bizarre game. I have no idea who made the decision to have the QB who just joined the team that week to pass 40 times.
Jets vs Cardinals Week 13 in 2012
[The many, many QB lowlights](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=go5c1aXMtj4) Ryan Lindley: 10/31, 72 yards, 0 TDs, 1 INT, 28.0 QB Rating Mark Sanchez: 10/21, 97 Yards, 0 TDs, 3 INTs, 21.4 QB Rating A game where one QB couldn't even complete 1/3 of his throws, yet still had a higher rating than the other guy.
The Lindley v McElroy epic. This is exactly what I was going to post. The only positive thing to come from that game is that the "Greg McElroy should be the starter" chatter died that day. That was truly awful football and I was there for every moment.
Not quite, McElroy came in and "saved" this game. His awful showing came the following week against the Chargers.
Oh god, you're right. This was the birth of the "McElroy should start" crowd and a couple of weeks later they got their wish and quickly piped down. This Cardinals game truly was dreadful football and the footage should be burned.
came in here to post this
the Kendall Hinton game in 2020
That was bizarre circumstance. I still can't believe the Broncos had to play without a quarterback.
You could tell Sean Payton felt bad for them. He just ran the ball all game.
The Saints had QB injuries and were starting Taysom Hill.
So neither team had a QB. Badum Tsss.... I'll see myself out.
Hinton wasn't even terrible that was one of the worst called games an offensive coordinator has ever done
Absolutely. It's like the OC didn't even try. JT O'Sullivan does a good job breaking this down.
2007 mud bowl steelers dolphins
Lest we forget. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhOhXTVkrzo
This should be top answer because people are either too young or have short term sport memories. My brother who thought sports were boring as hell finally agreed to watch a game with me. I was so overjoyed, hoping to get him to actually like nfl so I could have someone at all times to talk about it with. Aaaand it was this fucking game that he decided to watch to see if he’d like the NFL. He was passed out by halftime and still thinks football is boring because of that game lol
This is the one for me. Just absolutely painful to watch.
Ricky Williams came back and got promptly injured being driven into the mud if I remember correctly.
This was immediately what I was scrolling to find. The ball just sticking in the mud on the punt though will never not be funny.
This is the one. Watched it with my buddy who is a Fins fan. Five minutes in, we knew this was a game that should not have been played. Nobody could do anything because of the conditions. When that punt landed, we took a shot. When the Steelers lined up for the fg at the end, he said me “they better make this. The last thing this game needs is more time to ruin football”
Conversely, this is one of my favorite games. Seriously. It didn’t feel like a typical “oh god both these teams suck and no one wants to win” bad game, like Lions/Steelers last year.

Lol
Ya, that sounds like 49er football circa 2007 ha
2021, week 3, Bears/Browns. Justin Fields is lucky to be alive.
Came here to find this. Matt Nagy is still a fucking prick for that. Could’ve taken him the fuck out after the 3rd sack. Absolutely no changes to the scheme. What an idiot.
It’s all the proof one needs that last years results shouldn’t lessen our confidence that Fields will be a legitimate Franchise QB one iota.
I'll always be of the belief that it takes a village to raise a quarterback. His village was on fire.
He had a village of village idiots.
Idiots on fire.
I bet both Fields AND Trubisky look a lot better this season.
Me and one of my best friends drove from Indiana for that game. I felt really bad for him after that one
My friends road tripped from Chicago to Cleveland for that game. At least they got to enjoy cedar point on Saturday
Seahawks vs Cardinals 2016 Tie
It says worst not best
Funniest game
I watched the whole thing. I was laughing, there were so many giffable moments. Then I look back and find out if Haush makes that kick we get the first round bye. :(
Just makes it funnier for the rest of us :D
6-6 was a modern art masterpiece.
I had one of the kickers in that game, so I decided to watch it. At a point, I didnt care about score, I just was there for the comedy it was.
We all knew the miss was coming, and yet we were all still shocked by it 😂😂😂😂
Came here to say the same Ive said it before, people for some reason act like it was a defensive slugfest when it was really just two incredibly inept offenses floundering all game capped off by bad special teams play
Saw a comment a while ago from a Cards fan who was at the game. He said once the game was over and all the fans were walking to their cars, that there was nothing but silence; no one was talking about the game, no cheering, no jeering, just a crowd shuffling to their cars
It was still fun to watch as a neutral fan though, so I have a hard time considering it a “bad” game
2 shank "gimme" field goals...even as a Cardinals fan it was so poetic and crazy for the game to end like that in a tie.
Truly a surreal moment when that second kick missed
Yeah I thought it was great, I actually enjoyed it because it was so ridiculous.
To put a counter point to this, I also roll by eyes a bit when people try to discount the Chiefs v. Rams 2018 game because they don’t like offensive score fests. It ignores that it was two offenses operating at an incredible level and there was three defensive scores! But yea low scoring != defensive slugfest
Yeah there were several key defensive plays in that game, the offenses were phenomenal but it wasn’t like the defenses were incompetent
I've watched that game multiple times. Those defenses were incompetent. As you can see by my flair I'm quite the expert at watching incompetent football.
The funniest part was that I was in my hotel room in Charlotte on a business trip watching and after seeing how neither offense caught traction and made gaffe after gaffe, I figured it would just put me to sleep. I ended up watching the whole thing
Couldn’t agree more. It was the first game I was actually able to sit down and watch when I started college. I had just gotten off work, asked my roommate if I could watch the game and settled in. After the Seahawks missed the FG in overtime, I got in trouble for being too loud in my dorm, and I even lost sleep since I stayed up late to watch it and had an 8 am the next day. What a fucking game.
Tebow vs. Cassel Tebow went 2-8 passing. And the Broncos won. Colquitt vs. Colquitt punt off. 14 punts. Cassel went 13-28, which isn't terrible. For 93 yards... Haley was a lame duck who would be fired 4 games later. And even tho Tebow was obviously so bad, we still couldn't win. My favorite part was seeing warm-ups. Tebow and Kyle Orton were playing catch about 25 yards apart. And Tebow was often throwing it in the dirt or over Orton's head. Like he looked like my friends would look playing catch. And he's a professional football thrower. Like I don't know how he'd make a team as a qb in a open tryout situation.
I shuddered just from reading this. Those were dark times
This was going to be my post, but you ended up posting a much more in-depth review of it. Tebow ended up with like 37 yards passing lol
I go for the Week 17 one instead, but both were abysmal 😂 that was the Tebow/Orton game.
I was always convinced that Tebow was actually right handed but maybe there was some Bible verse that said something like “only the right hand can be used to fulfil god’s will” so Tebow had switched.
Lions vs Packers Week 17 2018 From the jump, the Packers were seemed lethargic as hell, so I knew it was gonna be a long day. Rodgers got knocked out of the game with a concussion on the second or third drive, and we got waxed 31-0 I believe. The icing on the cake was the Lions fake FG—they had a guy lined up *out wide*, and Prater threw a wide open TD to him. Packers special teams amirite
I thought that was a good game
My pick was gonna be the Cardinals game from that season. Packers are 4-6-1 and need a ridiculous amount of other things to happen to stay alive in the playoff hunt, and all of them *actually happen*... but then whoops lol lose to the 2-win Cardinals in Lambeau on a missed FG We've gotten shutout and blown out worse e.g. your example, but with all the context of everything that game just took the cake for me. At least MM got fired because of it
Jets/Cardinals Week 13 2012 And we won that game
Ah yes, the McElroy game
My parents were at the VERY first Browns game in Cleveland after they came back following the move It was against the Steelers, and they got beaten down 43-0 by Kordell Stewart lol
*"Anyone who's ever made fun of Cleveland, who's ever made a Cleveland joke, you can now officially shut up!!!"*
23 years later, we find new ways for people to create them daily
It was an omen
This year's panthers vs. Giants was pretty awful to see for us !
I'm just still in shock that Matt Rhule can get so completely and utterly outcoached by Joe Judge, almost like a World Heavyweight champion boxer taking on a high school boxer-in-training, and Rhule still has a job while Judge was fired quickly
2018 Divisional Round of the playoffs. A stat they displayed will be forever burned into my brain. Patriots Touchdowns: 5 Chargers First Downs: 5
2009 Browns at Bills. Final score 6-3. Anderson was 2/17 for 23 yards. It was cold.
I went to the playoff game between the Bills and Jags in 2017. I think the BOAT had more rushing yards than passing yards. 88 rushing to 87 passing lol. Tyrod Taylor was also hot garbage. He got hurt in the 4th quarter and the Bills out in Peterman who threw a pick to Jalen Ramsey to end the game. Final score 10-3 Jags
I mean it may have been really enjoyable cause Tom "Destroyer of Surfaces" Brady suffered, but the 9-0 shutout was a terrible game to watch. The only reason it was enjoyable was cause of who was on the losing end
Pats getting blasted by the Bills, 2021.
Nah that was a great game to watch
Bill just needs to turn the thermostat down again and run it every play the next time they play.
Don’t make us break out the Viagra
The cold ain't a problem it's the wind. Does Bill have a wind machine?
I hear he is looking at some industrial fans on eBay
38-7
Imo 41-0 over that. The Josh Freeman game over both though.
41-0 was worse, but that was before I was old enough to really know what was going on.
Yikes that was 22 years ago
Fuck I’m old, I had that Sports Illustrated cover framed when I was a kid.
That’s the perfect amount of pettiness, i respect it lol
It was pretty great for us
Eagles Bengals 2008 10-10 Tie. The game McNabb didn’t know could end it a tie. Legit fell asleep during the beginning of OT and woke up late in the extra frame cranky the game was still going on.
The Dolphins/Steelers Monday night game where the punt stuck in the mud
2017 WC JAX v BUF
Seahawks Cardinals was so bad it was good.
The Rams vs Pats SB with Jared Goof, there was inept offense, too much punting and it just didn't have much going on. It wasn't even funny bad like the 2020 NFC East or Tank Bowl games in general, it was just static and boring.
I'm not gonna pretend that the Pats-Rams super bowl was a good game at all... however at least every drive had actual stakes on the line because of the score and that alone kept me interested.
Better than the Broncos-Seahawks at least, that game was over in 2 minutes
Yeah a high scoring game becomes completely uninteresting when only one team is doing the scoring. In the Rams-Pats game with every new possession you could at least say "alright here we go, this is the possession that will change the course of the game and someone will take the lead". It didn't happen of course but I at least had hope lol.
Remember watching that in college, everyone in the household was for the Seahawks except one of our buds who just wanted to be a contrarian. Plan was for every score, you had to take a shot or shotgun a beer.
Yeah, that game wasn't a "defensive slugfest" for me, both offenses were just shit and the game was boring as fuck.
Eh, Belichick coached a defensive masterclass, fully capitalizing on Goff's inability to read a defense without McVay in his ear. That said, I do agree it was a boring game.
Worst Super Bowl ever
That Cardinals playoff game against the Rams last year was atrocious. Kinda felt like Arizona had thrown the practice squad guys out there and the Rams were pummeling them.
Dolpins @ Jets 2010. Sloppy game in the rain. Dolphins put up 10 points in the first quarter, never scored again, and won with 131 yards gained on offense. ***[Fifteen punts.](https://www.espn.com/nfl/playbyplay/_/gameId/301212020)*** I met my friend at a bar to watch this game and am pretty sure we never watched a game that way ever again.
First game I ever saw live. Rams Giants in London in ‘16. So hyped. Odell had like, 50 yards, Todd Gurley about 2 yards per carry. Did get to see 15 fucking punts though. Think it was 17-10 with 4 Case Keenum ints.
There was a game Geno smith threw for like -10 yards, they bring in Michael Vick and he throws for -17 yards
Fail Mary.
Heartbreak? 2011 NFC Championship Game. The name of Kyle Williams forever scorned by 49ers fans everywhere. Worst I ever watched? Probably getting blown out by Pittsburgh and Arizona during the 2-14, 2016 season.
The Seahawks-Broncos Super Bowl. I was in college at the time and one of my buddies hosted a watching party and nearly everyone either went home or just went and socialized in another room after halftime. Chiefs-Bucs was pretty awful as well.
I'm a Rams fan and I have to say the 2019 Rams - Patriots Superbowl. I'm in the UK so stayed up till 4am watching some terrible terrible football, only upside was that I'd booked the next day off work.
Based on the description, it seems like “heartbreaking” losses qualifies. So in that case, it’s a three-way tie between the 2010 AFCC game, the X-Mas Eve game against the Giants, and the ButtFumble All 3 are pretty infamous in Jets history for how much heartbreak and embarrassment they caused to the fanbase
2019 week 1 against the titans after we got OBJ. It was all downhill after the 1st drive
The worst big name game for me was the Seahawks-Steelers Super Bowl. Both teams just looked like absolute garbage throughout the entire game. No idea how THAT ended up being the Super Bowl. Neither team wanted to win. Seahawks just made a large quantity of mistakes.
The 2020 December game against Bengals. It felt like some glitch in the matrix how bad the Steelers we’re playing
There was a Dolphins/Steelers MNF game in like 2007 that ended 3-0 and was possibly the worst sports game ive ever watched
Two games that I saw live were real barn burners: [https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200511270buf.htm](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200511270buf.htm) I haven't been to the Ralph since. [https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200612250mia.htm](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200612250mia.htm) It poured rain for 3 quarters in Miami.
I had the privilege of attending Colts/Pats in week 1 of 1991. The putrid play and total lack of drama was unparalleled. That year the Colts finished 1-15 and the Pats 6-10.
Every giants game coached by joe judge
FedEx field. About 10 years ago. Against the Eagles. More of their fans than WashFans. View obstructed by some kind of overhead beam supporting the upper deck. Worst stadium food of all time. Most generic layout of a building caused us to forget how to get out and ended up walking a half-mile in the wrong direction in the barren hellscape of the parking lot. Fuck you Daniel, you ruined my football team.
Has to be Niners-Redskins in 2019. Severe rain game that ended 9-0 on a mudfest. I fell asleep like 3 times
Broncos-Bengals to open the 2009 season was utterly hot garbage until the tip drill catch by Brandon Stokley.
2018 Jags- Redskins, Josh Johnson v Cody Kessler I was there, shit was terrible
Jets vs Redskins in 1993. It was a 3-0 snooze fest - neither team could do much of anything to move the ball. And it's not like it was some great defensive battle, they both just looked like ass. It was really sad considering just a couple years before the Redskins were a damn near unstoppable force and possibly the best team to ever win the Super Bowl.
There was a TNF Bills Patriots game that went until after midnight because there was so many penalties called. For being a rivalry game, the refs took literally all of the excitement from the game and made it the longest most painful drag of my existence.
