Detroit Lions make NFL History!

Yep! 0-16 How bad is that? B-A-D

They really had to work at this losing season. Especially after going 4-0 during the preseason.

I'm sure they'll do better next season since Ford is replacing the entire front office. Of course, it's easier to win at least one game during a season than it is to lose every game during a season.

They really had their eyes on the prize. That kind of focus is rare.

Madman · 12-29-2008, 09:07 AM

I don't know a whole bunch of stuff about football. But I really do think if I was Head Coach I could have pulled at least one game out of my ass.

Losing every single season game! That has to be damn near impossible. And to think some of the players make million$. If I could be a loser and make million$ - I'd be happy.

I think Eric Mangini (Jets coach) could go 0-16 with the Lions talent level, but it takes a special man.

Hell, OJ Simpson could win one game by phone if they'd allow unlimited collect calls.

I could win 3 games at Detroit just putting the ball in Calvin Johnson's hands on every play.

No wonder people aren't buying the newspaper ...

It is pretty impressive. Even England's soccer team wins one occasionally. Only against Latvia, mind, but, you know.

the only difference between this lions team, and the lions team of the 90s is Barry Sanders.

the lions could have very easily had 2-3 wins this year.
although they did seem amateur in a few of them, there are worse teams in the nfl...........
overall, the kansas city chiefs are in worse condition than the lions.
that unworthy larry johnson contract will continue to hurt them.
the seahawks, minus tatupu, are as weak as a team can get.
who gets the cake though?
easily the clevland browns.
the team stands alone in the pit of football.
they don't even get their draft pick, although they do hold a few very key players for the future, so its not that dim.
the bigger picture for this season shows the browns as the biggest loosers.

sanders is not in the upcoming draft for the lions.
the lions remain weak.
there are teams pretty high up in the draft who are already contenders for next seasons superbowl.... the addition of the pick assists in that goal.

lj, out of the teams in the play-offs, which do you support?
