    Clearly the Jets have disappointed this season but then so have quite a few teams. Based on realistic expectations at the start of the season and where the teams are now, which of these teams fans do you think are the most disappointed?

    1996 was a disappointment

    I'd say Eagles. Just finding ways to lose.

    If we finish 9-7 then we won't be too far behind expectations. The other three you've mentioned have laid an egg. I think the Eagles will be the most disappointed but the Chargers and Rivers continues to regress as the weeks go by.

    By far the eagles. They were expected to win their division and just fell apart and arguably quit on the season.

    The jets were expected to be a middle of the pack team and that's what they've been this season

    The Saints could be on that list too considering they were 13-3 last year but I guess everyone figured Bountygate and losing Payton would have an adverse effect.

    Bills. Not that I expected them to be all that great but they got so much hype in the preseason and I know a lot of their fans bought into it.

    Buffalo Bills. Everybody's favorite sleeper heading in to the season has been turrrble.

    Maybe New Orleans.

    Definitely New Orleans.

    Going from 13-3 to maybe 8-8 is a huge free fall. I would have never guessed their head coach was that huge of a factor.

    Definitely the Lions. Not even because the subpar record, just cause've the way they sputtered through games and were so close in so many of them

    I thought about adding the Bills and saints to the poll but with the Bills I just figured that deep down their fans would keep their expectations low and although the Saints started off really badly they have had some good results lately and so their fans are probably not too down on the team at the moment.

    The Lions are playing way under expectations adn thier talent level. I agree taht the way they half assing it through games is embaressing to watch if you were a fan.

    Eagles for sure. We were a 8-8 team last year. On top of that, we lost Revis and Holmes. We will most likely end up 8-8 or 9-7 which is not worse than last year.

    If your going to use the injury excuse, the eagles have lost 5 Oline, 4 opening day starters and one of their replacements, to injury for the season. That is far worse than the Jets injuries.

    As seems to be the consensus in the voting, it's got to be Philly or Detroit. Both of those teams had much higher expectations than the Jets, and both are having worse seasons.

    Gotta say the Lions. People thought they would contend with the Packers for the NFCN this season.

    I voted for the Jets because they anger me the most, obviously..

    But I have to say it's probably the Lions. Everyone thought they had staying power with the elites, but they have crashed terribly, without major injury... And losing to THESE Cardinals?!!?!

    Eagles have been disappointing for consecutive years so you expect it at this point.

    Going with the Lions. After all, their QB is better than Sanchez and he's got a real WR to throw to, they should be undefeated!
