Worse run NFL teams in last 10 years

The Game Room
1

I’m posting this in Game Room so that 1. it won’t be lost in Polls, and 2. because it’s sports related. this iss informal poll intended for discussion. Anyhow, here’s my 10, from worst to least worse (relatively speaking), feel free to comment

  1. Raiders-top down incompetence, no talent
  2. Jets–owner should keep fingers away, stop playing favorites
  3. Browns-no-clue owner, worse QB signing ever
  4. Bengals-cheap owner, no defense in decades, wasted top QB
  5. Giants–up-and down strategies
  6. Saints–since Payton left, no long-term plan, no QB
  7. Titans–went from AFC finals to lost way
  8. Colts–been looking for QB since Luck
  9. Panthers–nowhere since Cam
  10. here I’m torn between Cards and Falcons, Cards owner cheap even when in St Louis, and Blank too involved in day-to-day.

your take?

Even as a Washington lifer, I would have to put them on the list somewhere. The last two years of competence still don’t erase the previous eight of Dan Snyder bullshit. Not at the top where they would otherwise likely belong, but at least above the Giants, who have been directionless for a while but not a total embarrassment off the field, which would describe most of the teams lower on your list.

I’d have the Panthers higher. They are 61-104 in the last decade. Only the Browns, Giant, and Jets have lost more games in that span, and not by that much. David Tepper is the stereotypical meddling, impatient, impetuous owner.

No love (or is it hate?) for the Dallas Cowboys? They hold the record for the longest active streak for not appearing in a conference championship game, now at 30 years. Their last appearance was during their Super Bowl winning season in 1995. Admittedly there’s probably other stats that are better measures of futility, but as a long suffering Cowboys fan, that’s the one I’ll focus on for this thread. Of course, I don’t think there’s any debate as to why that is. It’s because Jerry Jones is a bad owner (in the sense that he lacks talent, as opposed to other owners who just don’t care about winning). His meddling in the football side of things ever since Jimmy Johnson left is, IMHO, what has led to this lack of success.
