I'm a Texans fan, and I have been one since they came into the league. I've only turned one of their games off once before it was at triple 0, and that was the 2013 game vs. the Rams. The Texans came into the season as a Super Bowl contender and ended the season in loving Week 6.

2008 Sun Bowl - Pitt vs Oregon State Dear Reader, as you're reading this you might think that this was one of those weird "sisters of the poor" bowls between a 6-6 team and a 5-7 team that had good passing rates. Especially having heard of Oregon State recently. No, this was Oregon State when they had Jacquizz who was a transformational college player, and Oregon State had a weird knack for destroying USC. Oregon State would have been in the Rose Bowl that year had Oregon not beaten them in the last regular season game. They went 8-4 that year. Pitt had an even better record, 9-3, and this was one year off from dreamcrushing WVU back in that crazy 2007 where WVU could have legitimately gone to the national championship game had they not lost to Pitt. The Sun Bowl is played in El Paso, and as EDSBS notes, El Paso is firmly within Bat Country. poo poo goes weird, oftentimes sideways in football games in West Texas, and this year the menu item was "completely insane winds". Oregon State was roughly a West Coast Offense team, and they would try a dink and dunk style pass to a receiver who ran a great route and the ball would just soar 5-10 yards off target if it wasn't mystically pushed into the dirt. Pitt, honestly I forgot what Pitt did on offense but it very obviously didn't work. Both teams figured out defensively that they did not really need to defend against the pass during this windstorm and so both offenses ran the ball and both defenses stacked the box against the run. Every so often you would get a great play-action pass that would remind you of the wind conditions and the pass would end up nowhere near the receiver. All of this is from memory as my dad (an Oregon State fan) heckled me for being an Oregon fan who had lived 2 years in Pittsburgh (going to Carnegie Mellon) and so I must be a Pitt fan this game. The wikipedia page notes very little about the game except that it holds the Guiness World Record for most people doing the YMCA dance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Sun_Bowl) Anyway the game ended 3-0 in favor of Oregon State, but really I feel like everyone lost that day.

One of my first football memories (at least live) was Purdue coming to Michigan and them playing a 5-3 stinker on a cold, rainy day in like '94 or '95. I hadn't fully grasped the concept of football but I knew enough to realize how bad this game was. Plus my dad and I walked there and back. At least Michigan won. There's no shortage of bad Lions games to choose from but in all honesty I have' t been to a Lions game since the mid 90s. Probably for the best.

It was by far the most inept display of quarterbacking I have ever seen. 147 total passing yards between both teams. It was a shockingly awful game. It was also the first thing I thought of when the Bears signed Clausen years later. Thankfully most of the specifics of this game have been purged from my memory.

2009 Georgia-Kentucky Uga died earlier in the week, leaving the team without a mascot at a home for the first time in over 50 years. Georgia had a 20-6 halftime lead, then immediately began pissing it away, ultimately losing 34-27, their first home loss to Kentucky in 32 years. Kentucky was using a backup QB. He threw for 130 yards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4isBRGrIdkk RC and Moon Pie fucked around with this message at 15:15 on Sep 14, 2016 |

Oh my god I almost blocked this from my memory. My sister had graduated from Ohio State in 2010 and the next year a friend of hers gave us her tickets to the game against then #25 Michigan State. Sparty was 4-1, OSU was in that awkward Luke Fickell year and under sanctions, but was still 3-2 so hey, should be a decent game. Plus I heard this Kirk Cousins guy was supposed to be a pretty solid QB. What followed was probably the most hilarious outing Ohio State had since they got slaughtered by Florida in the BCS Championship. Sparty had a goddamn terrifying defense, coupled with OSU QB Joe Bauserman (and head coach Fickell) clearly way in over their heads. OSU couldn't even mange 180 yards of offense, while Sparty managed an iffy 320 yards of offense and 3 turnovers. This was a complete trash game. There was exactly one highlight (which granted, was a pretty rad sack). We found out later that Sean McDonough and Matt Millen spent the entire broadcast actively making GBS threads on the game, which is hilarious and worth tracking down on youtube or somewhere similar if you can do it.

Pick any of the last 8 games of the Raheem Morris era in Tampa, they were all horror shows. The Bucs were outscored 300-140 in that span and gave up 35 or more points in 6 of the 8 contests. It was impossible to watch as a Bucs fan.

The Patriots in 2001 played 3 garbage-fest games that were like 10-3, 12-9, 17-16 snoozers where neither team did anything cool or good and Brady just drove the bus in circles like a younger Trent Dilfer until time ran out and/or everyone lost interest.

I was at this game with my dad. http://www.gohuskies.com/news/2005/11/5/208016731.aspx I actually like low-scoring games, but the experience was miserable because it was a loving downpour and pretty cold, I'm surprised we stayed the whole game. It felt like we won just by outlasting it.

I was in the stands for this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyzCw6y1yYU box score Iowa State went up 9-7 in the 2nd quarter and the score never changed again. Nebraska turned it over eight times, with four inside the 5-yard line. All NU needed was a field goal to win and they had the best kicker in the NCAA. The strangest thing is it felt like Nebraska was in control of the game up until the final drive. Iowa State only forced four punts on 14 possessions. Every time we would drive down to the red zone, the crowd would be begging for a field goal, only to get a fumble instead. It was the most frustrating thing ever. And still everyone was pretty confident that we'd win the game until near the end of the fourth quarter.

As a Ravens fan I've seen lots of real bad football played. Looking back at box scores I remember watching some of these and man were they bad. I'd say my least favorite game ever was the 2007 game against the Colts in Baltimore. I was actually at that game and the weather was cold and rainy. Then the Colts scored on their opening three drives(aided by some Ravens turnovers) and it was 21-0. At this point I just said screw it and left. The weather was too bad and the team wasn't in contention it wasn't worth sitting there in that for such a bad and poorly played game, at least by the team I cared about. Final score was 44-20 but it was 30-0 early in the 2nd, and the game was over. I don't regret leaving that. I've never been that miserable at a game.

That game was bad too though, for different reasons. You had the Colts who had poor defense, and the Ravens who had this amazing defense and an OK offense, now that we had McNair instead of Boller who could play a competent game. So our defense turns in an unreal effort against Manning, maybe the best that unit ever played against him when he was around his peak. But the offense is absolutely putrid to the point that it loses the game for us. A Manning-led offense held to only field goals somehow beats us at home. Pitiful. We even had Cal Ripken Jr come out for the coin toss. And don't give me this Bob Sanders was back stuff. That certainly did improve them but not to the point that we should have had no touchdowns at home. This was inexcusable, and in my mind the first toll of the Billick death bell.

In 2009 the Tennessee Titans did not know that you're allowed to play football in the snow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYGIIlImsgQ edit: Also in 2011 the Tennessee Volunteers lost to a Kentucky team that had both quarterbacks hurt. They put a senior WR in at QB who went like 4/6 for 15 yards passing. They lost 10-7 to a team without a quarterback. gently caress you Derek Dooley.
