Occasionally, when we have a really really lousy football game (i.e. Jags/Titans tonight), there are occasional posts asking if it's up there with the Jets/Bills game from 2009.
Having not been around for that (I didn't join until 2011), just how bad was it?
From what I hear and looking back, it sounds like this was the gold standard for bad football games by which few if any can approach.

How bad was it? Believe the hype, I was in the thread for the game it was terrible. Mark Sanchez threw 5 picks (the Jets threw 6 total to Buffalo's 1, but the Bills only won by 3 points), missed field goals that would have ended the game, the announcers having enough time in between plays to give a player's life story, and just all around terrible football. Nobody looked good in that game.

The Jags/Titans wasn't even that lousy of a game, there have been worse this year by a large margin, it's been an extremely hard year to watch for a lot of teams...

That Packers/Lions game last week was horrible. The only thing that saved it was the hilarity of the announcers talking about how Green Bay Fans are the best in the world... then they start booing the shit out of their home team. So there was plenty of mildly entertaining crap going on.
It takes a special kind of suck to achieve the Bills/Jets. It's not JUST a terrible game. It's a special combo of shitty play, lack of meaning, crowd not caring, announcers giving up AND taking forever.
Last night's game, while lackluster, wasn't dogshit bad AND still has some sort of playoff meaning to it. How sad is that?

I seem to remember an awful Steelers (I think it was?) game a few years back where the field was so wet that the ball actually speared itself into the mud landing from a kickoff...

^Those aren't on the level of Jets vs Bills. One thing about that game is that CBS took people from New England vs Tennessee to Jets vs Bills.

Oh to be a Bills fan in 2009. For 16 weeks from September through December, you in all likelihood were going to subject yourself to three-plus hours of visual water torture. |

Ravens vs Jets in 2011 was worse....
Flacco and Sanchez combine to go 21/66 for 282 yards and 2 interceptions
The two teams combined for 417 yards of offense.
The Ravens spent the game handing the ball off over and over.
The two teams combined for 7 turnovers
Ravens won 34-17 with the only offensive TD coming on a Ray Rice run. Ravens defense returned 2 fumbles for a TD and 1 INT for a TD.
Though if we include College...none of these are worse than Auburn/Mississippi State in 2008 (3-2), BYU/Boise in 2012 (7-6), Wake/Va Tech last season (3-0) or Wake/BC (3-0) this season.

So basically every sucky game usually involves the Jets or Bills or Browns
