Top Ten Worst NFL Franchises

Another Nov.22, '63 tragedy; William Clay Ford became sole owner of the Lions. PLEASE sell the franchise! The karma, luck & mentality there is unreal. Maybe the grandkids will brag about the Lions. I did when I was in kindergarten (1957)

I have been a Packer fan my whole life, I always ask myself, "Ooh the Bears might be good this year, I don't know about the Vikings." I don't even have to think about the Detroit Lions. Detroit is among the four teams that have never even been to a Super Bowl, along with #3, #5, and wait one sec... The Jags are all the way down at 12? God this list is messed up, Anyway, The Lions aren't only bad, they have awful luck! 0-16! That's like impossible! So that's why Detroit is the worst.

The Jaguars have won 7 playoff games since their inception in 1995. The Lions have won only 1 playoff game in the Super Bowl era. The Jaguars have played in 3 conference championship games since 1995, and the Lions have only played in 1 since the Super Bowl began after the 1966 season. The Jaguars, often considered a terrible franchise, have accomplished far more in their short existence than the Lions have accomplished in the last 50 plus years.

When the Lions lost to the Cowboys in the 2014 playoffs due to a miss pass interference call, my first response was "who cares it's the Detroit Lions! If it was the 49ers, Packers or Giants then it would be a controversy. A week later, a no catch that cost the Cowboys a possible win in Greenbay is still a topic today because both Franchises mean something. Point is Detroit sucks and should relocate with a new complete name and uniform.

The Cleveland Browns who did anything are now the Baltimore Ravens, this Browns franchise has had 2 winning seasons in 20 years, they are the undisputed worst franchise in the NFL.

At least Detroit has good seasons (rarely) and the Best Running Back of all time. This? I bet McDonalds could win a SuperBowl before this team.

They are actually not that bad. They were a really good team when the franchise was created. They be at least the 10th worst.

Year in and year out embarassment of the program. Cleveland is the factory of sadness. Our motto is "just wait til next season"

Arizona is #1 because Detroit actually has good football history. The Cards do not!

The Cardinals have at least been to a super bowl, unlike the Lions.

At least they have Hopkins now.

Two playoff wins in 88 seasons.

This team is a total train wreck that's not going anywhere anytime soon.People forget about the team. That is how bad they are.Everything is messed up about this joke that the city of Buffalo calls their NFL team even the name of the franchise is confusing as hell.Name is referring to Buffalo Bill Cody who has nothing to do with the city of Buffalo itself but they did not take advantage of the Browns mistake of naming after a person.

They need to work on their QBs. I think Manuel is horrible according to Dad. Will these brats get in the playoffs?

Lost 4 Super Bowls in a row. Need I say more?

This team is just garbage.

In the late 1960's, an ownership group led by Paul Brown set about the create a new football team in the image of the Cleveland Browns. Unfortunately, they succeeded, and thus, the Bungals were created.

Founded by Paul Brown to replicate Cleveland and they are a sorry Franchise just like Cleveland!

I know folks like to pile on the Browns but they won championships while the Bengals never have.

They did make two super bowls, but not historically good, Burrows bound to be an improvement.

You don't beat a team that bad and it be a reffing error sorry but that's just not a legitimate claim! Although they aren't usually good, they definitely aren't the worst! I think that title goes to the Jags! They are consistently terrible!

Theyve gone to the playoffs pretty much every year since '76 (their first season), have won two NFC championships, and dominated a Super Bowl against statistically the second best offense of all time. AND, they are still 20 to 70 years younger then 4/5 of the NFL...

One super bowl doesn't mean any thing and this is all time the seahawks have built a losing reputation.

Wonder where this franchise will move to?

Best thing this franchise has down in a long time was firing that blowhard Rex Ryan. What an embarrassment he was/is. Better question - why did Buffalo ever sign this buffoon to coach their team?

Jets! Mets! Two 2nd Class, 3rd World Franchise that will never equal the Giants & Yankees. To give them a chance change the name to the New Jersey Jets, Newark Jets, Garden State Jets or Turnpike Titans!

Nothing should be said about the jets, they have a new qb every four games.

Come on this team is way better than the horrible bills.

Should not be on this list. Not bad not good, still in the middle.

They are good now.

I'd rather crap my pants than watch Matt Ryan throw picks all day. They've really never been good. 1 super bowl appearance that's about it. Vikings should of gone that year anyway.

In 1998, I personally placed a 50 year curse because of the annoying dirty bird dance. Definition of beating a dead horse!

Super Bowl 51. Enough said

Garbage since 1966

A couple years ago, I wrote the comment about the Texans' future starting to look bright. Back then, I didn't imagine that they would go on to dismantle their roster and alienate their all-star quarterback. They could have been a contender for years to come, and they threw it all away.

This is possibly the most mediocre team I have ever seen. Barely ever making the playoffs, and when they do make it, they suck all hope their fans had. Every time they made the second round, its because they either played the Bengals or an injured raiders teams. When they do make it, they get completely curb stomped by teams like the patriots and the ravens when Flacco didn't suck. Oh and their quaterback trail of tears is funny as all hell

The Texans have struggled quite a bit in their short history, but their future is starting to look bright.

Alienated their qb, and inept ownership with handing GM to head coaches who ruin their franchise players.

The bucs ruled the late 90s and early 2000s with the best defense in the league but their worst enemy was philadelphia they have been to the playoffs multiple times.

With the exception of a 5 year span in late 90's-02 this franchise has always stunk since their first season.

They almost went two full seasons with no win. And those two years were there first two. They suck

You have Joe Frazier Mike Schmidt, Chuck Bednarik, Dr. J and so many other sports icons in Philadelphia, but these morons have a statue of a fictional character Rocky Balboa. Simply because of this, the Eagles will never win a Super Bowl.
Whats more disturbing is that the Eagles and their Fans are always flapping their gums and haven't won Jack! Redskins won 3 Super Bowls, Giants 4, Cowboys 5, Philadelphia until you win, shut your pie hole!

There are three things in this world that you can ALWAYS count on.

1. Death
2.Taxes
3. Philadelphia Eagles not winning the Super Bowl

After the CUBS won the World Series, I said "We'll just maybe they could win" however we are taking the Eagles here...LOL Love it.

They were started by the government and like everything else that the government does, they are sub-par.

What a laughing stock the Eagles are. Chip the dip Kelly is a bust. All philly sports are a joke at best.

Oakland sucks. They will suck from here on out. The Denver Broncos should be ranked at most 25. This is the dumbest list.

I though they taught their kids 4-12,1-15, 3-13, and 2-14. That's the raiders every year.

How do Raiders fans teach their kids to count?
0-1
0-2
0-3
0-4
0-5
...

The raiders are good!

Never won anything in post merger NFL. Number one draft picks do not want to there (remember Eli manning), San Diego doesn't want them, Los Angeles doesn't want them, even London does not want them. Can't win, won't win ever. It is a developmental team for NFL they never pay their players examples Seau, Tomlinson, Brees, Sproles, Rodney Harrison, and the list goes on and on.

The Saints are like smoke and mirrors. The success in 2017-2018 isn't real. The Defense is possibly the worst in the NFC.

One conference title game appearance in 41 seasons.

This team is good

Too bad this team had too cheat to win a super bowl, they should take away that SB trophy and give it to the vikings

They can't make it up to first place, they don't have an good QB, and they loss 2 superbowls.must I say more?

Only good thing they had was...well I don't even know.

The owner puts minimal in and pulls out a profit each year. Great from a R.O.I business standpoint, but awful from a winning or fan standpoint.

Garbage franchise... They should be regulated out of the league- as long as the owner makes a profit he will continue to operate like this...
Garbage franchise!

A hot mess in coaching that can't decide what to do with their players.

Dude, the Dolphins last championships were in the early 1970s.

The Re-Skins have a terrible field and ownership cares more about the money then winning.

The most inept team since 1990. Dan Snyder is the worst owner in sports. Total mess.

Pathetic more and more each year. Riches to rags story. What a mess!

The only good thing they had going was Peyton Manning and Wes Welker.

The team that no one really remembers about cause they don't have fun games other then being owned by Aaron Rodgers.

They are horrible lately

Super bowl shuffle!

"Basically cheated in all their Super Bowls." Please explain this comment, as I'm having trouble determining truth with my bull radar going "bing bing bing."

The Cowboys have ruined football forever for their mainstream attention and America's Team gimmick. They care more about putting on a circus than winning. I hate all of them: players, coaches, owner, fans. Please! GO AWAAAYY!

They get a massive amount of media attention despite being mediocre for the last 20+ years.

I only like their cheerleaders, but the cowboys are #1 at being the supreme choke artists.

Act like they are the best team but come playoffs they can't even reach conference.
