Was there a worse NFL team than the '07 Miami Dolphins?

I was THIS close from coming up with a ''was there a worse NBA team than the '07 Miami Heat'' bit...

But I figured, I still have more than enough time to do that in the NBA's 82-game season. As far as the 2007-08 NFL football season is concerned, they only have 17 weeks, so I'll try to berate these retards as much as I can.

Yes, DISMAL has been the very word to describe the pathetic Miami Dolphins. These guys ALMOST went through a full season WINLESS after their 1972 counterparts went on to become the first undefeated team in the NFL.

So who were worse? Better yet, who was the worst?

Back in 1980, the New Orleans Saints posted a dismal 1-15 record that came from a deranged 0-14 start. Although these guys had decent seasons with Archie Manning and Wes Chandler running the team, they opened up their 1980 campaign losing 14 STRAIGHT GAMES. Jeez...

Luckily, they played an equally pathetic team then, the 3-12 New York Jets. Jets running back Bruce Harper committed a crucial gaffe by running around in pursuit of extra yardage for 12 seconds late in the fourth quarter. He got as far as the Saints' 37-yard line with 11 seconds left but failed to get out of bounds. The Jets, out of timeouts, couldn't get another play off and lost 21-20.

They lost to the New England Patriots the following week to finish the season 1-15.

In 1997, the Indianapolis Colts started their campaign 0-10, finishing with a dismal 3-13 mark. And in case you're wondering, NO, Peyton Manning hasn't arrived yet.

Jim Harbaugh, Paul Justin and Kelly Holcomb all threw at least 73 passes for the '97 Colts, and weren't necessarily terrible, finishing 14th in yards and 13th in yards per attempt. In fact, this team wasn't nearly as bad at its 0-10 start indicated.

The Colts actually finished the season outgaining their opponents and featured Marshall Faulk and Marvin Harrison on offense. But they kept losing the close ones, as five losses by four points or less contributed to the 0-10 start.

And then we have Miami...
