Define horrible.
WASH was 7-9.
CAR was 7-9.
TENN was 9-7.
SEA was 9-7.
Well, Seattle made the playoffs; they definitely were not a horrible team.
Washington is a rival who we split the series with last year.
Carolina beat us in week 1 last year and they actually had a decent start to their season before falling off and finishing 7-9.
I don’t think any objective observer would call any of those horrible.
In any event, none of those teams are on the same level of bad as this year’s Jets. And I can’t remember off the top of my head the last time we lost to a team on that level of bad. So it must’ve been awhile ago.
Edit*. Tennessee did not make the playoffs, but I wouldn’t classify them as a “horrible” team.
