PrintA quick look at the Eagles' upcoming opponents will tell you just why this poll is relevant. I don't mean it to make fun or talk trash to these teams, but I think there's little doubt that the current 3 game stretch the Eagles are in will be the three games they're most favored to win all year. The Chiefs, Bucs, & Raiders have one win between them and that's only because the Raiders beat the Chiefs... Let's also not forget that the Panthers are currently winless. So aside from the Saints, the early part of the Eagles schedule really couldn't get any easier.
This is the part of the schedule where you get to pad your win totals. Maybe if we can run off a few wins here early, we won't need another December miracle to get us into the postseason? That would be nice...
So who is the worst team in the NFL right now?

Bucs
i dont care who you are playing, to go almost 3 quarters without a first down is absolutely horrible
but the battle for the first pick is a tight one, almost being a toss up between the bucs, rams, browns, and chiefs
RIP JJ & HK
Let the future judge Michael Vick
Raiders
any team which starts JaMarcus Russell should automatically face 8 in the box every play.

Rams
They held Redskins to 9 points. And lost.
They were shut out. Twice. By Seahawks’ (!) and 49ers defense.
They scored 3 TDs in four games.
They are averaging 6 points per game.
Yeah.
RIP Jim Johnson, best ever.
The Raiders are truly awful. They’re looking at another 2-14 season. JaMarcus is the worst quarterback in the league, bar none.
The Browns traded away Braylon. That makes them significantly worse than before.
Still, the Bucs or the Rams have to take this one. I think its a toss up. If they played each other, they would tie.
About 10 minutes ago, I was pondering my own existence. Then I decided that it didn't matter.
Missouri
I’d have to go Rams – they’ve actually lost 14 games in a row – but they’re not that much worse than the Chiefs, who are now 2-18 in their last 20 games. The Chiefs lost to the Raiders IN KC! – that’s frightening.

I was going to make a case for the Raiders
being the worst team, but you make a very good point. To lose to the Raiders at home is the benchmark for the suckiest of the suckey.
I bleed green and I piss silver and blue
Braylon
Does losing Braylon really make you worse? I mean, the guy doesn’t catch anything these days. He’s got something like 30 on-target drops since 2007. I watched that Bengals-Browns game and whatever corpse they have out there in Edwards’ uniform is just an awful awful player.
Let the beasting begin.

everyone makes great points...
who is the worst on paper? i can’t even answer that…
Browns...
They have no running game and they lost their top threat in Edwards….drops or no drops he is a deep threat. The Titans, Chiefs, Raiders, and Lions at least have a better team then what their record show. Carolina can be a solid team also but they havent pulled together yet. The Bucs have a decent running game and they have kellen winslow…who is also a threat. That kid Josh Johnson is also a threat when running…The Rams have Steven Jackson and when he is back there your team has a chance.
But the Browns??…what happened to Derek Anderson? And all this hype around Brady Quinn?
I’m going with the browns because is there a single player on that team that is any good? The rams have jackson, the buccs have a good set of backs, the cheifs offense can be almost mediocre on some drives. The Browns? trading away winslow now edwards, switching QBs weekly, here are some figures:
Offense:
Points: 12.2. 30th in the league
Yards: 262.2 29th in the league
Passing: 172.2 26th in the league
Rushing: 90 27th in the league.
And their D is even worse…
Points: 29.5 Second Last.
Yards: 403.2 Last.
Passing: 226.5 26th.
Rushing: 176.8 Second Last.
If these stats don’t say the worst team in the league, I don’t know what does.
Two thirds of the earth are covered by water, the other third is covered by Dawkins
ugh iv been looking at the rams though… 6 points per game? it’s too close to call

I’m going with the browns because is there a single player on that team that is any good
Joshua Cribbs(Best kick returner in the NFL) and Shaun Rogers(Top 5 DT in the NFL)
That’s about it.
Felix is better than Brian. You can call me FIBTB.
ok yeah i totally agree with you on Cribbs, him and Jackson are the best special teamers in the league (Cribbs leads the browns every year in ST tackles too) But the wont win much with one special teams player, and even with Rogers, they are still 31st in run D. Maybe that just shows how bad the rest of their line is

I forgot...
Joe Thomas(Top 5 left tackle) and D’Qwell Jackson(top 5 ILB in the league)
CB Brandon Mcdonald is pretty good too. 75 tackles 5 ints 17 passes deflected last year.
That’s about it for sure.
That’s four top fives the Browns have. They should trade all those players for 1st/2nd/3rd round picks and start over.
Felix is better than Brian. You can call me FIBTB.
Tough Call
I went with the Rams but the only reason I didn’t vote for the Raiders is because they managed to get a win but JaMarcus is a joke. Most teams 3rd stringers are better than this guy. He should be the poster child for the NFL putting a rookie cap in place for top picks. He doesn’t even give a shit that he sucks because he’s guaranteed 30 million bucks and is set for life.
When you guarantee that kind of money to a guy who lacks drive and motivation its a recipe for failure and it’s just bad for the NFL.
The road to victory!
Another thing about the Rams...
Browns have a point difference of -69. That’s shitty, agreed?
Rams have a point difference of -84.
Ouch.
RIP Jim Johnson, best ever.
Where's Whodie?
With his staunch defense of the salary cap? I wonder if “parity” means that almost 20% of the league is mathematically alive to go winless for the season…
The Rams, Bucs and Raiders are tied for worst. The Rams are completely inept, the Bucs have no offense and literally no kicker, and the Raiders have Al Davis and Jamarcus Russell.
"Right now Winston Justice is the guy...until that person gets back out there"
You can’t use Al Davis and Salary cap together … if he could he would spend a ridiculous amount of money and still have shitty teams.
As long as Al Davis and Dan Snyder are in the NFL your argument to get rid of the salary cap will not hold water. Both of these guys would be the biggest spenders and their teams will still suck. You still need to know what you are doing with or without salary cap.
