Well the Eagles have managed to miss this list. My favorite was going to be the 2002 Rams, but the 2000 taterskins stole the show...

2000 Washington taterskins
8-8
The taterskins finished 10-6 in 1999 and owner Daniel Snyder spent lots of money in the offseason to make them a Super Bowl contender. After signing the likes of Bruce Smith, Deion Sanders (pictured) and Jeff George, the 'Skins entered the season with the league's first-ever $100 million payroll. In addition, they added rookies Lavar Arrington and Chris Samuels with the No. 2 and No. 3 overall picks in the draft. Despite having all of those weapons, the 'Skins posted an 8-8 record, and coach Norv Turner lost his job midway through the season.

2000 was the year the taterskins became my very favorite team to hate. I always hated them the most, but never really enjoyed it that much. That year, it became fun.
Is rjs gonna have to choke a bitch?

Let them eat bootstraps.

I can't view the site from work.  Are the 1998 Vikings on there, or are they only looking at teams that had high expectations before the season?

Yea, teams with expectations before the season. They just got jobbed with Anderson missing his first FG of the year at a pretty bad time.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.
