Chaz Green is a good answer, but I think I'd go with Babe Laufenberg against the Eagles in 1990. That performance is forever etched into my nightmares.

Babe in Atlanta was worse.

Yes but that turd Laufenburg was different. He was a camp signing not a draft pick.

We picked Green in a premium round and goddamn Garrett stuck by that fat soft player all along. Even in the fucking game.

BTW it was the damn Glanville Falcons we got clowned by, not the Eagles.

I feel like it was both. Maybe being the Eagles just traumatizes me extra.

Sweeney against the Vikings in ‘88 was a shitshow.

In a 3 win season though it doesn't really resonate with me.

Babe probably saw some action when the Eagles slammed Troy on his shoulder.

 

[Genghis Khan]

For the record, Babe's stats against the eagles were worse than against the Falcons.

Eagles game: 13/36 140 yds, 36% (!) completion, 0 TD, 4 INT (!), 3.89 (!) ypa, 8.8 (!) rating

Falcons: 10/24 129 yds, 41% completion, 1 TD, 2 INT, 5.38 ypa, 38.4 rating

Chaz was so bad. And it's not like he was being beat by a stud. He was destroyed on every play by a mediocre pass rusher.

and worse, Garrett did nothing to help him or replace him. The most painful OL experience ever.

9.5 sacks that year. Was a career best.

6 of those sucker's came against Chaz Green. 6!!! He basically had half that in his other 15 games.

Unbelievable coaching malpractice.

 

[Cotton]

Y'all are forgetting Romo's 5 INT game against Buffalo. We ended up winning, but still...

I only bring it up because he seemed like he was going to be all that and a bag of chips when he took over for Pelleuer in that Giants game the week before (albeit a loss), only to shit the bed so horribly, 3 win season notwithstanding.

True, I don't remember the specifics but I remember Sweeney perking my ears up for a quick second. Although part of that may have been that he wasn't Peleur.

 

[mcnuttz]

He may be correct on this one.

I saw that one in the flesh.

We were held up at security early on because my wife tried bringing her purse in and they'd just instituted a clear bag policy...so we missed the only Dallas score of the day, Dak's rush TD.

Man, you talkin bout "talkin mad shit"...I was ready to trash the Falcons fans.

Then Chaz happened & they shut me up pretty quickly.

Why I can remember the Kevin Sweeney era followed shortly after by the Reggie Collier experience, I will never know.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Reggie was my man. Remember him playing for the Orlando Renegades. Really talented.

For that matter I remember Sweeney at Fresno State. :o

I ain’t gonna lie. I was such a draft goober back then that I recall he was the sleeper quarterback that Joel Buchsbaum would talk about for .50 a minute.

He was kind of billed as the next Flutie, being short and all. And of course he had the good strike games for us. (We didn't call them scabs down here.)

I recall some fan boys were Weenies for Sweeney or something like that.
