Has any NFL team ever lost every game in a regular season?

Question

just wondering if the dolphins or the rams are gonna be the first

Answer 1

The Cowboys and the Buccaneers, both have gone winless in a season.

As for the Rams, they are probably going to win at least two games and the Dolphins about the same, but the Dolphins will be the bigger upset as league experts have come to the opinion that the Dolphins are playing for next year now based on personel decisions.

Answer 2

Since going to a 16 game regular season, no NFL team has ever gone winless, so the Rams and/or Dolphins could at least be the first to go 0-16 in a season. But like pretty much everyone said, the 76 Bucs were 0-14.

Answer 3

The 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers or Yuckaneers went 0-14 and began the 1977 0-12 before winning at New Orleans and St.Louis to earn the franchises first two wins.

Former USC coach John McKay boys were in the AFC West that season and played every AFC team and one NFC team (their expansion twin-Seattle). They were shutout four times including the first two weeks on the season, before Dave Green hit a field goal in week 3 against Buffalo.

The 76 Buccaneers were led by the old ball coach Steve Spurrier at QB. He completed 50.2% of his passes and threw 7TD's and 12 INT's. Louis Carter was the leading ground gainer with 521 yards and 1 TD, while Morris Owens was leading receiver with 30 catches, 390 yards and 6 TD's.

On defense, future HOF Lee Roy Selmon was earning his stripes as a rookie and LB Larry Ball made history as the only player to play on an undeafeated team (72 Dolphins) and a winless team (76 Buccaneers).

Along with the first year Cowboys, the 1982 Baltimore Colts went winless at 0-8-1 during that stike shortened year. Setting the stage for the Colts to draft and trade John Elway, the following spring.

As for the Dolphins and Rams. Both of these teams have way more talent than the Colts and Buccaneers did. So the odds are not likely

Answer 4

Nah the Buccaneers in their expansion year (1976) went winless the whole year, going 0-14 and then NEXT year, went 0-12 to start the season before finishing 2-12. Will the Rams or Dolphins go winless? No because sooner or later some team will fall for a trap game and they get a win or two, but Miami is trying to go winless if they keep trading away their best players like they did Chris Chambers today to the Chargers. Hey how about a 2 and 3rd rounder from Green Bay for Ronnie Brown? That'll help us out immediately! :P

Answer 5

In 1960, the Dallas Cowboys were the first team to not win a game in the regular season, going 0-11-1, but the first team to lose every game in a season was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 1976, going 0-14-0. After there losing season, the Bucs lost 12 more the next season, before finally getting a rare win.

Answer 6

Hi,

The Tampa Bay Bucaneers went 0-14 in their first season and then followed that up with an additional 12 game losing streak the following year. All told, the franchise started an amazingly awful 0-26 before getting their first victory against the New Orleans Saints.

According to Wikipedia, the mighty Dallas Cowboys actually went 0-11-1 in 1960. They've come a long way, eh?

Answer 7

Whether you like the Cowboys or not (and I don't) they move the needle. People react to the Cowboys either for love or hate. There is no middle ground. They have won 5 Super Bowls & they have fans all over the country. I live in Northern CA and I personally know 4 Cowboy fans that are either friends of mine or I work with. And over the years I've known many many more.

Answer 8

Tampa Bay did'nt win a game in their first season. Their 1st win was over New Orleans. QB, Archie Manning (Peyton's dad) told his team,"It would be a disgrace to lose to Tampa." If I remember it right. Tampa Bay & Seattle's first season was 1976.

Answer 9

I think the Tampa Bay Bucs did in the 70's
