major Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 On the NFL Network right now they are showing the worst teams in NFL history. It got me thinking, which Bills team was the worst. I have to go with the 2001 Bills. I feel they were way worse than the teams from the late 60's or 70's. Your pick??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, Alex Van Pelt outdueled Chris Weinke AND Vinny Testaverde that year. Edited August 9, 2012 by SageAgainstTheMachine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhg Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 The 1984 or '85 teams (2-14) were probably the worst I saw. I was too young to remember the 1968 season (1-12-1). I will give a shout out to your 2001 pick though simply because I can't stand Greggggggg Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
major Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 I still have bad memories of Rob Johnson and Greg Williams roaming the sidelines in 2001. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Player Available Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Are you a masochist? When the Bills have sucked, they have excelled in it. Any 6-10 team or worse qualifies IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach55 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) Had it not been for Van Pelt, that 2001 team would have been materially worse. I have to go with the 85 Bills. You can't beat the Ferragamo/Mathison Combo - could be one of the worst QB displays as a team of all time. http://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/buf/1985.htm Edited August 9, 2012 by Coach55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pitiful. Both the 68 and 85 teams, if you can call them that, had a bunch of pretty decent players on them, but all at the wrong time of their careers, compounded by deplorable coaching.

SF Bills Fan Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I'd go with '85. Things got pretty good quickly after that, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cincinnati Kid Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 thank God we had Trent Edwards to rescue all those bad Jauron teams I was thinking any team led by Trentative or Rob Johnson after Flutie got the ax. Awful years. I'm too young to remember any Bills team before 1990, so those are my picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overseas Bills Fan Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 2001, 1985 and anything Dick Jauron had any part of. What a waste of time that era was! I hated that hiring from the moment it happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 2001 wasn't even close to 1985. 2001 was a car wreck. 1985 was a car being hit by a speeding train with a meteroirte crashing into it during an earthquake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JinWPB Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Had to be 1971. Out scored in a 14 game season by over 200 points. Shut out by the Colts in two games combined 67-0. Winning one late game in the Rockpile in front of a pitiful 27,000 fans. Only thing good about 1971 was the draft.

DrDawkinstein Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Agreed with 1985. I dont really remember it too well as I was 6, but it was the first year my dad started taking me to games, and I just remember being pretty horrible then, and for a bit after.

hondo in seattle Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I tend to think about teams in terms of coaches. And I'm just old enough to remember Harvey Johnson's reign. He led the Bills to an impressive 1-10 record in '68 and then we let him head-coach again in '71 when he master-minded a 1-13 season. We were truly pathetic. Those two games we won under Johnson were shocking. The players and fans expected to lose every week. Jim Ringo - a good offensive line coach - was nearly as horrible as a head coach - earning a 3-20 record (1976-1977). Then there was the tough-minded defensive coordinator, Hank Bullough, who came with a good resume (one of the innovators of the 3-4) but produced just 4 wins in 21 games (1985-1986). We Bills fans have been blessed with some truly awful teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
