Everyone loves a top-10 sports theme and I’ve got one here for you. To clear something up, all teams are in the Super Bowl Era, teams before that were usually bad so I didn’t get into that.
10. 2007 Miami Dolphins 1-15-0
I know what most people are thinking, but you have to admit watching them this year rivals the worst performances we’ve ever seen.
Nick Saban, after repeatedly denying the head coaching job for Alabama, somehow foresaw what was to become of the Dolphins and jumped ship after the 2006 season.
Four players were arrested and three were released.
After hiring Cam Cameron to become the seventh head coach in franchise history, Cam immediately fired seven of 11 coaches and terminated the contracts of anyone that was of value including Daunte Culpepper, Sammy Morris, Randy McMichael, Kelly Campbell, and many other worthless players.
The Dolphins finished with a record of one win and 15 losses. One win against the Baltimore Ravens in overtime ended the losing streak.
9. 2001 Carolina Panthers 1-15-0
It started with an overweight rookie quarterback drafted in the fourth round, Chris Weinke. It also relied heavily on fumble- and injury-prone Tim Biakabutuka (try saying that 6 times fast…) – until he suffered a broken foot.
But they won their opener as a 10-point underdog before impressively reeling off 15 consecutive losses.
"We have a long way to go, but this reminds me of '96 when we were the only ones who believed we were going to have a good year," Carolina tight end Wesley Walls was quoted by the Greensboro News & Record. "We're going to build on this."
8. 1990 New England Patriots 1-15-0
The Pats were a well-balanced team, stinking equally on both sides of the ball.
The defense ranked 27th in points and yards (out of 28 teams). The offense ranked 26th in yardage and 28th in points, scoring 47 fewer points than the next-to-worst scoring offense.
Sexual harassment charges were brought against three players by a female reporter. There was a bar room brawl between Irving Fryar and Hart Lee Dykes (their No. 1 pick a couple of years before) resulting in an eye injury that would eventually end Dykes' career.

Finally, someone looked at the colts history and found out there not the always-great-team (same w/ & the charges.) You probably think I'm just saying this cause I'm a RAIDER fan, but every team has their bad sides, it's true.

Dear Mike49(year old),
If you had half a brain, you might see that what I meant was most people just look at their present.

i think the 08 lions would actually be number 2, the lions were actually close in a couple of games, the bucs on the other hand were like highschools kids against the pats in 07
