1949 New York Bulldogs season
The 1949 New York Bulldogs season was their first season in New York in the National Football League after having played five years as the Boston Yanks, and last as the Bulldogs. They finished 1–10–1, last place in the Eastern division and the worst record in the ten-team league.
The head coach was Charley Ewart, previously the general manager for the Philadelphia Eagles who played college football at Yale. Signed to a three-year contract, he resigned the day after the regular season's final game, a 27–0 home loss to Pittsburgh with just over 4,000 in attendance.NFL Draft
