Most Disappointing team at the halfway mark?

I'd like to give an honorable mention to the Chargers.  They suck every year and every year, they tease as if they can be good.  I don't think they're a good fit for this particular award, but they're perfect for the lifetime achievement award.

LOL

I noticed during their lone TD, a banner in the stands behind the goalpost that said, "Mr. Spanos, please fire AJ and Norv."  I would have liked to have seen whether it was allowed to stay up after that, but they didn't score on that end again.

Poor Chargers.  Unlike the Dolphins, they've had all the talent in the world and still can't win a damn thing.

The thing I find particularly frustrating about the Chargers is that you can never gauge how good they are.  When you think they suck, they will beat a decent team.  When you (like me) pick them to beat Cleveland a few ago, they lose in embarrassing fashion.

Sounds like the Chargers alright.  That team is in major need of an overhaul from top to bottom just to erase the stench of failure.  (I know because we can smell our own)

A very talented team that underachieves due to bad coaching.  Sound familiar?

Could have never said it better. In a word...inconsistent! You know, like the Dolphins. lol  Like a box of chocolates. lol

Buffalo.  I can't tell you but it seems like every sports magazine in the country had them as challengers to the patriots for the East title, and yet they're still the same shitass team they always were.

My recollection wasn't that anybody was predicting that Buffalo would win the AFCE, rather that folks were predicting that if anybody could it would be the Bills rather than the Fins or Jest.

^^^ ESPN the Magazine, Sports Illustrated, and PFW all had the Bills going somewhere between 10-6 and 11-5 with one win over NE and a second place finish w/ wildcard birth.  I remember it vividly because I spent the afternoon choking on my chewing tobacco in the sink because I was laughing so hard.  So to me if you're looking for a team that had playoff aspirations (unreasonable though they may be) and totally hit the shitter, this would be it.  They were gonna be the surprise team of the year, and now they'll be lucky to finish 7-9.

(they also had the Jets and Dolphins somewhere between 7-9 and 5-11)

Let me echo those saying the Eagles.  God, what a turd.

They are similar to the Chargers in their level of talent/preseason praise vs weekly performance.
