Tell us: What NFL team has been most disappointing?

USATODAY

The NFL season always gives us surprises. Pleasant ones, and for some teams, not so pleasant.

Fans of the Texans, Falcons and Cardinals have to be planning Super Bowl trips. Enthusiasm can be infectious. Overly infectious in the short term.

But what about fans in other cities who had great hopes only to see their teams stumble out of the gate.

Even if you weren't penciling in the New York Jets to scare a lot of people nobody expected 34-0 losses.

And what were the odds that the Saints would be 0-4 at this point? The Steelers at 1-2 and the Lions at 1-3 with the Packers third in the NFC North?

And wasn't Cam Newton and Carolina the darlings of the 2011 season?

There is a lot of talent in those cities and the race has just begun but nobody looks good stumbling out of the gate.

Perhaps none of this surprises you but we ask anyway, what team has been the most disappointing thus far?
