What are the Worst 5 teams after week 1? (1 Viewer)

In no particular order

1. Miami Dolphins: This heralded Miami defense allowed almost 200 yards on the ground and Jansen even went out in the 1st half. They allowed a WR2 at best to go off for 160+ yds, and they lost their starting Safety, Yeremiah Bell for the season...things are going to get ugly very fast for them. The offense didn't look a spit better than it did last season and they had a chance to win the game but on 1 and goal at the 8 yard line they racked up 20 yds in penalties and were suddenly almost out at the 30. I blame the loss on the offense but there was plenty of blame to go around. Miami is headed for double digits in the loss column.

And I loved the introduction of Tedd Ginn Jr...tripped up on a panzy ankle tackle on the opening kick off, didn't make it to the 20 yard line...that guy can juke, eh?

2. Kansas City Chiefs: Got blown out by the Houston Texans on opening day...it only gets worse from here. Herm Edwards showed us that he is not only a genius at clock management but also knows more than the rest of us and held LJ to 10 carries in the game. Ty Law must be ready to retire, Surtain is out so the secondary allowed AJ to run wild. The Chiefs are terrible and they could be sitting on a 12 or 13 loss season.

3. Cleveland Browns: I don't want to pick on these guys because I see success at some point for them but they could not stop the pass and they didn't stop the run either. And they have no offense now as Frye was traded to Seattle, Quinn is going to be thrown into the line up soon. Not sure that is a good thing. I really thought Romeo Crennell could get things turned around for Browns' fans.

4. Tampa Bay Bucs: 6 points on offense...I don't get it. They are a shell of what they were on defense when they won a SB that seems like a far distant memory at this point. Can Gruden stay on if they notch another double digit loss season? We're going to find out.

5. Atlanta Falcons: 2 words...Joey Harrington

Honorable mention...Oakland, and Buffalo although there are parts of those teams I like a lot. The Bills actually played well enough to win.

Can't say I'd disagree with the teams listed, though I'd probably put the Browns at the head (foot?) of this list only because of the apparent disarray of the team. It looked Bad News Bear-like.

 
Hey MOP,

While I agree with your list for the most part, I'd place KC at the top. Herm has a way of taking a decent team down and has no clue how to make it better. With the Herminator at the helm, the Chiefs will go nowhere.

Homer note: Huge Eagles fan and respect Herm for the things he did as a player, but he is no way even a remotely mediocre head coach. He flat out is disastrous for any team he heads.

"You play to win the game!"

Nuff said.

Damn straight. 'Score 30 points?, that Arena league football'.
 
The Jags will get their chance to join this list this weekend. Lose at home to Atlanta and maybe they should be #1.

The worst team has to be Oakland....for losing at home to the Lions.

Whether Oakland is the absolute worst is arguable, but I can't see how they're escaping anyone's bottom five. Maybe it's shock value with some of the other teams being worse than anyone expected, but the lack of shock value says a lot about Oakland. They lost at home to the Lions and it's no big deal? Ouch.

At least Oakland looked good doing it. I don't know, maybe it's because both teams just suck, but I thought Oakland and Detroit both looked pretty decent and significantly improved (even though Oakland's defense was worse than last year). I see these 2 teams easily winning more games than the ones listed above. Gotta agree with most of MOP's list.
 
Detroit may actually be good this year. A top offensive team with no defense in the NFC can go, well, where did the Saints go last year?

Oakland

Tampa Bay

Miami can't be considered one of the worst teams.....they lost to Washington by 3 in Washington. If they're considered as the worst, Washington HAS to be very close.

If that were the criteria, we could simply rank teams by the scores of their games and Buffalo would be nearly as good as Denver. We all know that second part isn't true.Washington outgained Miami in yardage 400 to 273 and Miami only had three rushing first downs all day. I didn't see the game, but I'm guessing that it was a bit of a fluke that the game was so close.

You're reasoning is also flawed, because Denver played IN Buffalo. You should know that it's much harder to win on the road.Washington was at HOME. I agree with you that that can't be the only criteria, but my point is, no way Miami is the worst team in the NFL because they lost by 3 points on the road to Washington. If Miami is indeed the worst team in the NFL, then my argument is Washington isn't too far off for only beating them by 3 points at home in a nail biter.Buffalo was at home....and I don't think Buffalo is the worst team in the NFL on top of that. So although I'm sure Denver wishes they would have won easier, MANY MANY people figured that that game would be close and a lot of people picked Buffalo as an upset win. That being a close game was hardly a surprise.

Some of those yards the defense gave up were during overtime, and there was a 50 or so yard throw near the end of regulation that was a lucky catch. I thought Trent Green did a pretty good job against the Skins, and he will build on that. I don't think Miami is one of the worse teams right now.

Their loss of their kicker last weekend hurt them against the Titans. What's with their receivers dropping balls all the time? I thought they would have improved on that since last year.

Either that or my judgement is based on more than the results of just one game.But you are right about one thing... Last weekend, the Redskins performed like one of the bottom 10 teams in the league.
 
I won't fight anyone who puts the Jets on some worst lists....

Clemens is a Big Question mark at QB -The Offensive line is a mess and for the 15th straight year they have no Run Defense at all.

The Pats beat them up, the Ravens are about to bash their heads in a little more and then the Miami defense comes in to clean up and probably steal a win.

I said it in the offseason before the draft - this was a team that drafted two highly rated Offensive linemen and had a decent vet at guard in Kendall - The offseason was a time to fill the 2 OL holes with a solid Guard and a solid RT.... The draft was LOADED with that type of talent - There was an opportunity here to build a real Solid OL that could develop as the team improved and set a great foundation.

I wanted to see possibly two more OL picks, at least for depth and what do they do - They lose Kendall, sign no one and draft a late round ol..

WOW - I wrote before the draft that if Chad goes down behind a porous line, someone should be SHOT....

And Here we are... I hope they are happy......

No, you're right it's hard to base it after one game. I think in general we know some of the weaker teams but it's hard to nail them down.I mean, I don't have Washington or the Giants on my list but they're not far off. And to be honost, with Eli not playing I wouldn't really have a clue who would win. I guess I'd pick the home team to win. If they played this weekend on a neutral field, I'd probably pick the Skins with all the Giants injuries.To me, the two teams that look to be the worst and I don't see getting much better this season are Cleveland and Kansas City. I see very little hope for those two teams. I see some experimenting with other players etc... and usually that means blowouts and ugly games, firing of coaches etc....
 
Cleveland, KC, Oakland are the bottom 3 and it is not close. Oakland is getting a pass because they put up over 20, but did anyone notice that was against Detroit (who had both safeties gone????).

I think the Redskins are a lot better than people are saying here. Portis looks like he's getting his game legs back, Campbell was hit or miss but looked better in the second half than in the first, and there's more talent on that defense than in the past. I don't think they're a Superbowl contender by any means, but I wouldn't be surprised at all to see them in the mix for the playoffs in the NFC.

You honestly think that Herm should have given his franchise back 25 carries in his first game back after the holdout?
Click to expand...
Do you think LJ sat at home eating chocolate donuts?
Click to expand...
I suspect not. It's not that he was out of shape, it's that he was out of practice. It's not like LT where he practices but is held out of the pre-season. LJ didn't have much time to practice in full-contact drills prior to the season, and I have no problem easing him into the season. LJ himself--one tough SOB--said that he wouldn't be 100% to start the season.
 
Cleveland and Atlanta are in a special class by themselves IMO.

The Browns look dreadful in all phases of the game and are an organizational mess.

The Falcons are not much better and they have the Michaal Vick circus hovering over them.

Both of those teams have a legitimate shot to go 0-16 but if I had to bet on one I'd give the edge to the Browns as at least Atlanta gets to play Tampa at home.

There are many others who are worthy of filling out the bottom five but I'll go with the Chiefs, Bucs and Raiders.

 
Cleveland the worst.

They where confused and manhandled. Such a poor performance they traded their starting QB after week one. That might be a first???(don't know)

One thing is for sure they are in complete disarray.

I like your list but Joey's Falcons move up to 2nd on my list and I will replace the Florida squads.1) Cleveland- Dallas has our pick OH KNOW!

2) Atlanta- Harrington = The Plague Where is Leftwich?

3) Kansas City - Herm go coach College.

4) Oakland - I life Kiffin but has too much work to do.

5) New York Giants- Defense may be the worst in the league this year.

No disagreement with that statement. But that is not the original posters question.I am actually not asking this to be argumentative, by the way, just curious. I tend to find BroadwayG to be an intelligent poster, and was curious if he really felt that way simply based on week 1 vs the Chargers.
 
Not sure if you're going to make a new thread each week, or change the title of this one.

28. KC/Minnesota

29. Miami

30. NYG

31. Atlanta

32. Buffalo

With Cleveland hanging 51 on the Bengals and Buffalo laying an egg two weeks in a row, they have to leave/enter the rankings thusly.

If Cleveland is not on there, how can the Giants be? They would put up 60 on Cincinnati if Cleveland can put up 50. They will win some games the same way Cleveland did...by scoring. And more actually.28. Buffalo

30. Cleveland...that was such a fluke win

31. Miami

I'm taking each week as we go. To date, the Browns have shown more life than the Giants. I agree that it was a fluke win. But the Giants earned those two losses by being terrible. Trust me. Cleveland is hovering around 27/26.
