The Packers going 8-8 under Ray Rhodes with both Reggie White and Favre. The aforementioned '05 season was WAY worse. Soul-crushingly worse. And almost every Brewers season since I've been a fan has been as bad, with '08 when we NARROWLY made the playoffs and '11 when we choked away the NLCS to St. Louis and then had to watch them win it all when Texas choked TWICE in Game 6 as sorta-exceptions.

Giants and Yankees fan here.
It's a tossup between the 1995 and 2003 Giants for me. The '95 campaign started with Emmitt Smith running up and down on the Giants D and simply never recovering from that onslaught, (Dave Brown was also right putrid.) Dan Reeves being a predictable old coot, and the D not living up to any expectations whatsoever. The 2003 Giants were an extension of the shitshow that was the second half of the game against the Niners on Wild Card weekend, culminating in an epic fail at the hands of Kurt Kittner and the Atlanta Falcons where they lost 27-7. Also thrown in that season was Brian Westbrook's punt return TD which smacked of the Miracle at the Meadowlands, and pretty much the end of Jim Fassel and Kerry Collins careers. In the second half of that season, you just knew that the Giants were good for just one offensive score in that game before packing it in, and that was the most insulting about it... along with the idea that Jim Fassel was going to play out the rest of the season like as if he wasn't going to get canned.
This decade hasn't been very kind to the Yankees either. Playoff appearances, yes. But also the feeling of dread in the event that they actually get there. While the early 90s Yankee teams were absolute black holes, the '13 campaign was just a mess. Retread veterans, injured over-the-hill superstars, a far past-his-prime Derek Jeter, and worse yet, Robinson Cano cutting and running to Seattle. Of course, this year is not much different, but at least in the farm system there's some light at the end of the tunnel... right?

Yankees- The 04 ALCS that series killed my youth and still haunts my dreams. Big Papi just destroying Mo and the final nail in the coffin was that Damon grandslam in game 7 just to let all yankee fans know yep your team dropped the ball so hard.
Jets- Where to begin there are so many bad years to choose from, like 99 when Vinny goes down and basically kills the season right then and there. Or 2000 when Belichick decides to leave after a single day! Maybe any of the numerous seasons Chad Pennington got hurt, which spoiler was most of them. How about 08 with Farve and the Jets and him were like nah your recored for most games started in a row is more important then us winning. 2010 anyone where literally any QB that was better then Mark Sanchez would have meant a trip to the super bowl. Then we have the dumpster fire that was the rest of the Rex Ryan era. So yeah it has not been fun.
Knicks- the 90s because watching them get so close but never actually being able to seal the deal was/is heart breaking. Like I know they're bad now but everyone knows they have no chance to win and can come to terms with it.

In the 1996-1997 Middlesbrough FC got relegated from the Premier League and lost in the FA Cup Final and League Cup Final. I witnessed it all in person and it wasn't pretty Wasn't that the one where they couldn't fulfil a match because the entire team was sick and the league refused to rearrange or do anything about it? Plus a win would have kept you up?

Plus a win would have kept you up? Yeah it was a game at Blackburn and we had about 5 healthy first team players. The club informed the Premier League about the situation but foolishly didn't bother to get any confirmation from the league about postponing the game. Without the 3 point deduction I think we would have finished about 14th Though we did get back up the following year so it all worked out in the end.

The Pittsburgh Pirates after 1979. They haven't won a World Series since, well, 1979. It looked like there was gonna be some hope last year, but they squandered their opportunity in the playoffs.
2006 Pittsburgh Steelers. It was disappointing for me to see them go 8-8 after they won the Super Bowl that year. I was nine at the time, and it was unpleasant seeing them not make the playoffs. The same goes for the 2012 and 2013 Steelers. They kept screwing up every good opportunity that they had. Those two years were something else. They failed to make the playoffs through shenanigans.

Toss-up between 2003 Tigers and 2008 Lions. Exactly what I was going to post. Those were rough times.

Maryland Football - The 2011 team was dismal. We beat Miami in a fluke and Towson. The rest of the season was soul crushingly bad after a good 2010. Crowton and Bradford sucked as coordinators.
Maryland Basketball - The 2011-12 team was just awful. They lost by 26 to Iona...not Iowa...Iona...
Notre Dame Football - The 2007 team was stastically the worst, but the 2011 team was hard to watch. I just knew we weren't good. The USF game was a sign of things to come. The Michigan game still doesn't feel real. Same for the USC game. The Stanford game wasn't close and we blew it against Florida State in the bowl game. But they beat Michigan State, who was great that year, so Idk. 2006 is close too. 3 blow out losses by a combined 83 points to Michigan, USC, and LSU. Weis was a joke.
Notre Dame Basketball - The 2013-14 team was pathetic, it blows my mind just how great the 2014-15 team was. Brey's worst team easily though.
St. Louis Rams - 2009 was the worst record wise, but I enjoyed watching the team grow. 2011 was much, much, worse. We beat the Saints but did nothing else.
Baltimore Orioles - 2007..we lost 30-3 to the Rangers the day we gave Dave Trembley an extension, opening the door to 4 more years of suck.
Los Angeles Lakers - 2012-13...yes they made playoffs, but I hated this team so much. Dwight Howard is a c***, Kobe was way over the hill, Steve Nash didn't need to be there, and Gasol wdidn't want to be around anymore. I prefer the last two seasons over that year easily.

as a Habs fan I put up with a lot of mediocre teams during the years after Patrick Roy left where you could count on the Canadiens to maybe squeak into the playoffs at 7th or 8th seed and then lose in the first round but have crappy draft picks to show for it. I endured because they were my team. none of it was half as bad as Pierre Gauthier's last season as GM where the wheels completely fell off and he pissed away all of Bob Gainey's hard work.

Braves - This season. Sure, the 90's were painful (Minus '95) due to the fact that they perpetually choked, but at least they were entertaining. This season has just been abysmal and painful to watch. Add in the fact that they traded away all of the likable players and renewed Fredi Gonzalez's contract and you have the season from absolute hell.
Auburn - It's a tie. 2004 because, in my opinion, they were absolutely robbed of a chance to play for the title. Then there was 2013. Yes, they've been REALLY shitty prior to this, but this season is the most painful due to the fact that they absolutely should've won the National Championship that year. They were curb stomping Florida State and then just (seemingly) gave up. It was painful and it's still infuriating.

Earlier, I picked 2008 as the worst year for the Braves. But with the continued downward spiral this season, I'm changing my vote. Now with the latest news that Jonny Gomes is gone, the veteran locker room leadership is sorely lacking, more so than ever. And that horrendous offense... Shelby Miller is one of the best pitchers in the National League and they can't get him a win for 19 straight starts? They're not there right now, but I think the Braves will finish with the league's worst record. They've simply given up. It's even worse given that they overachieved during the first two months of the season.

Michigan Football...
All of Rich Rodriguez's seasons. First was bad because we had to play so many freshmen and it was our first losing season in a century. But it just got more frustrating every year as the offense would disappear as soon as the big ten season started (minus Denard Robinson) and the defense got worse and worse to the point they couldn't stop anybody. Rod also had a soft spot for walk on being that he once was. Now you'll find some good players that way but you can't be starting 6 true freshmen walk on players like he was at times.
Also lastvyear. Brady Hoke was just out coached by any coach who had a pulse. Then you add in the Shane Morris concussion fiasco and it was a mess. At least we have Harbaugh now.
For the Dolphins 2007 1 and 15. Only reason we even won a game is Brian Billing decided to go for a fg from the 1 to tie the game with 10 seconds left rather than go for a td. That team had so many injuries but Cam Cameron was just incompetent as a HC

Oleg Petrov tying for leading scorer one year, I was suffering with you there, man. We should be done with that kind of crap for at least a decade now... with Price, Subban, Patches & Galchenyuk.
