Stupidest/Worst Play Ever

[kalbears13]

Since we have a "Greatest Play Ever" I thought we could have the worst/ stupidest plays ever. Mine is:

With less than 10 seconds left on the clock, and the Browns clinging to a 39–37 lead, Chiefs quarterback Trent Green dropped back to pass, but the entire Browns defensive line swarmed him and it appeared to be a game winning sack. However, Green tossed the ball to tackle John Tait just before he went down. Unfortunately, Rudd was the only player who did not see this, and after getting up, took off and threw his helmet in the air in celebration, thinking Green was sacked and the game was over. Tait rumbled to the Browns 25-yard line where he was knocked out of bounds. That would have been the end of the game there, but Rudd's premature helmet toss drew the Browns an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty which moved the ball to the 13 yard line (half the distance to the goal), and since football games, by rule, can not end on a defensive penalty, Chiefs kicker Morten Andersen booted a 30-yard field goal with no time left, to win the game 40–39.

Off the top of my head, because it happened against San Diego, Aaron Brooks with the Saints throwing the ball backwards when the pressur was coming in on him. Not sure of the year, but I sure remember it was a pretty stupid play.

[WinslowBodden]

Eh... That was a bull **** call, Rudd thought it was a sack (barely wasn't) it's not his fault that an o-lineman rumbled for 30-40 yards after it, it was just bad luck.

Stupidest player (with 2 plays) ever would have to be that guy from the Cowboys d-line that messed up the kick and then celebrated and fumbled before the goal line, funny stuff.

[bigbluedefense]

Aaron Brooks backward pass.....seriously....I don't know if anything can top that.

Sounds like Cleveland to me.....but for me the dumbest was Plaxico Burress celebrating by spliking a live ball.

LOL what about the guy that ran the wrong way into the endzone then threw the ball over his shoulder and then realized he ran to the wrong endzone.

Hey Vincent Jackson did that this year too....he got away with it though...thank god.

[Forenci]

Didn't Brooks try to throw it to an offensive linemen to avoid being sacked?

[JK17]

Didn't Brooks try to throw it to an offensive linemen to avoid being sacked?

It's hard to imaigne what was going through his mind at the time...but that would have been my best guess...in hindsight it wasn't a great decision.

[OzTitan]

I recall a clip from decades ago where someone did run to the wrong endzone on defense. It may have even been before the AFL merge, not sure. Nothing can really top that though.

[bennybee38]

leon lett is a dumb mutha trucka

[therock6000]

Leon Lett slowing down before the goal line and getting the ball stripped by don beebe in the SB...or Lett's Thanksgiving disaster...

[Jagonsucker]

I remember when the Lions were in the playoffs 12 or 13 years ago and Scott Mitchell was at QB. He was attempting to lead the team to a 4th quarter comeback. It was 3rd down, he completed a little 2 yard pass (making it 4th down) and he ran up to the line to spike the ball to stop the clock. Turnover on downs.

[G-Starr]

Well, from last year, the first thing that comes to mind is when Kiwanuka (NYG) let go of Vince Young and he continued to ran and got a 1st down. I understand he didn't want to get a penalty, and it shows the effect of the ridiculous QB penalties. Nonetheless, pretty stupid.

Well at least he left his mark on the game then...something people will remember him by..

[EvilMonkey]

i think jim marshall was the defensive player that returned a fumble to the wrong endzone

[umphrey]

plummer throwing an interception with his left hand

[PACKmanN]

This happend in the old days but it was the 49ers vs another team and the player on the other team got the ball and ran it to his own endzone which made it a touchback.

[Space Ghost]

I'd say Lamont Thompson buying a pump fake in the open field by Keenan McCardell that was hilarious.

[asmitty45]

I would say when Ty Detmer headbutted the wall and was out for the year that was the dumbest s**t ive ever seen.

Also a couple years ago when Desmond Howard was on the Lions, he had just come back from a neck injury and had just returned a kickoff for a TD and he ran to the sidelines Robert Porcher ran up behind him and slapped him really hard on the helmet and strained his neck. He was out for the rest of the year, i think that can be blamed simply on Lions karma though

I think it was Gus Frerotte from the skins.

That's definitely one of the worst more recent plays. IIRC, the San Diego crowd actually started laughing.

It feels much better to have a sensible quarterback under center.

[BigDawg819]

Any interception thrown by Vinny when he was a Raven, by far the worst plays ever.

Jim Marshall, one of the best defensive linemen in history, too bad that is what he is going to be remembered for. He was a viking btw.

that was priceless. i laughed so much when i saw that clip. its even better that it was a viking. cause i am a packers fan.

The Refs screwing up the penalties on the botched snap in SF during the Giants-Niners playoff game. Penalties by both teams should be offset but, well, the refs "forgot". End of game.

OH MAN. Why did you have to bring that up? It took me an entire year to get that day erased from my memory.

That was....yeah.

But seriously though, even then, we deserved to lose. How can you blow a lead like that? Inexcusable.

Oh man....my house that day......not fun. Me and my brothers didn't say a word for like 3 hours right after the game, and all of us were fuming. We had the "crazy" look that day. That one hurt. That one hurt bad.

I think that one hurt more than the 2000 SB. That game was an asswhoopin, and I kinda knew we would lose beforehand. But that game......


....Oh, and I HATE TO. Hate his guts.

The one game last year where Brett Favre threw an interception on a first down slant at Buffalo's one was pretty bad. It stands out for me cause I was at the game to witness it.

we can also throw in Marlon McCree..he picks ball off..runs with it and Troy Brown strips him. Had he went down or not pickedi t up..it was GAME OVER and chargers win

..Marlis Jackson at least learned..damnit MARLIN

[TigerBait45]

The Saints are in on a lot of stupid plays.

Like against the Rams (I forget the year) when the punter booms one into the endzone, and nobody touches it and the team walks off the field.

Well its still a live ball. All the Rams know this, but not the Saints of course, and it turns into an NFL record for a punt return.

[Acreboy]

Lett has the top 2 blunders of all time.

I honestly don't feel bad about having our mascot run his idiot ass over, now.John Elway did that too.

And you have serious problems because your stupid mascot ended his NFL career.

When the Bucs lost that MNF game to the Colts on an idiotic Unsportsmanlike Conduct call...


ugh

[etk]

2 that haven't been mentioned:

Matt Hasselbeck guaranteeing an OT victory ("we want the ball and we're gonna score")and then throwing an INT TD to Al Harris on the ensuing drive.

In Super Bowl VII, K Garo Yepremian picked up a blocked kick and frantically tried to throw a pass, only managing to whiff it up in the air where he batted it right into the hands of a defender. The he failed miserably in his "tackle attempt".

[etk]

When the Bucs lost that MNF game to the Colts on an idiotic Unsportsmanlike Conduct call...


ugh

I believe the call you are speaking of was not Unsportsmanlike Conduct, but rather some other rare penalty on a missed FG attempty by Vanderjerk. Simeon Rice jumped up to block the kick and landed on a lineman's foot by mistake, and then in typical fashion the refs made up some ghost penalty so Peyton could win on the ensuing FG attempt from closer range. We never should've let them back in the game anyway.

Cleveland...1987 divisional playoff game.... Mark Gastineau.... 2nd and 24...incomplete pass... late hit on Kosar... automatic first down... 23-20 2OT...

You're right on the call, but this is what happened:

Mike Vanderjagt, the most accurate placekicker in NFL history, actually missed the ensuing 40-yard attempt, but the Buccaneers were flagged for a penalty that seemed impossible to understand. DE Simeon Rice was called for unsportsmanlike conduct, with the contention that he used a teammate to aid his leap to block the kick. Replays showed Rice jumped straight in the air, but the officials stuck to their call. Vanderjagt then easily made a 29-yarder to win the game.

Of course you probably hate me for saying that, but again, it was such an epic battle to end for the Titans. Wished they had won that Super Bowl.

Any play involving Aaron Brooks

Aaron Brooks was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this thread.

Not even mentioning the backward pass, every game he would have at least a few plays where he fumbled snaps, backpedaled 15 yards backwards at the first hint of pressure, the head scratching interceptions.

[Grizzlegom]

the refs messing up the steelers coin toss that one year was pretty funny.

but the play that stands out as the dumbest to me is in a 2004 game, week 15, miami and new england played on monday night. brady threw 4 INTs that game but the last one he threw was hilarious. he was getting sacked and right when he was about to hit the ground he just threw the ball straight up into the middle of the field and it landed in Brendan Ayanbadejo's arms and it allowed miami to drive down and score the go-ahead touchdown with like a minute to play.

[kalbears13]

Cleveland...1987 divisional playoff game.... Mark Gastineau.... 2nd and 24...incomplete pass... late hit on Kosar... automatic first down... 23-20 2OT...

[The Legend]

whos that guy who pick the fumble up and return it on him self and drop the ball in his own endzone and the other team pick it up and scored

[Non_Sequitur]

Don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but....


Plaxico Burress in his rookie year made a sweet diving catch, rolling over on the ground and keeping control of the ball.

Then, being untouched, he promptly stood up and spiked the ball in celebration and walked away from it... giving the other team a free fumble recovery.

The one to go with it from that Superbowl was Steve McNair with his head in his hands, sobbing, as confetti was falling all around him.

[nfrillman]

I know the play some of you are talking about. It is easily the greatest blooper in sports. A Minnesota Viking (Hall of Famer I think, but I know he was at least really good) picked up a fumble and must have become disorientated and began running the wrong way. He ran the entire length of the field in the wrong direction while the announcer was saying, "HE'S RUNNING THE WRONG WAY!!!" He then proceded to reach the endzone and spike the ball out of bounds resulting in a safety.

Haha, no worries.

There's many other plays to dislike Aaron Brooks for, so don't worry about that.

[Iamcanadian]

The 3 worst plays which I'm sure have been mentioned that I saw were as follows:

Wrong way Marshall of the Minnesota Vikings ran about 70 yards for a touchback in his own endzone. He was very luckey that when he spiked the ball it went out of bounds.

However, the absolute worst call I ever saw was the Giants in the last 40 secondes snapping the ball instead of taking a knee, they fumbled the ball and the Eagles picked it up and ran it back about 90 yards for the game winning TD.

The other worst call, I ever saw which came close to to the Giants/Eagles game was when the rookie HC of Detroit CHOSE to kickoff in overtime instead of receiving the ball even though the stats clearly shows a huge win percentage for whoever receives thge ball in overtime. Of course, the other team scored on Detroit on their possession to win the game.

but i think his career forgive him

[diabsoule]

The New Orleans Saints were playing the Miami Dolphins in Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana two years ago. The Saints have the ball on their 25 yard line after a kick-off return. The ball is snapped and New Orleans quarterback Aaron Brooks drops back and looks down field. He looks left, he looks right, he feels pressure coming from his right and rolls left, pressure then comes from his left so he rolls backwards all the way to the 1 yard line where he is pushed into the end zone and sacked for a safety.
