Are the 2008 Detroit Lions the Worst Team in NFL History?

You gotta feel sorry for the Lions playing the Titans. 10-0 teams don't become 10-2 over the course of 5 days.

The Titans were mad and the Lions found out just how mad.

Does anything in that state work right?

3 words ... Detroit Red Wings.

[HelloooClareece]

Yes they are the worst. I say that as a loyal fan.

If they had the Rams on the schedule, they might have a chance.

Almost as bad: They lost to Houston.

Does anything in that state work right?

Our beloved Red Wings (NHL) kicks butt.

Other then that, no.

I’ve heard about those days at Tampa U with Freddie Solomon running the offense.

If you would like to be added or dropped from the Michigan ping list, please freepmail me.

I'm hoping they pull off a "perfect" season, personally. I was thrilled with the result of yesterday's game!

I think it’s premature to call the Lions the worst in history, since they haven’t grabbed the coveted “lost more games in one season than any other team” title. That said, no one in my family was the least bit surprised at their performance yesterday, or rather, their lack thereof. That joker who screwed up two kick returns in a row (the second screwup led to a turnover) should have been taken out of the game, sent to the showers, and given his walking papers. It would sober up that whole bunch of crackheads.

Detroit gets T-giving — has for decades — but (unlike Dallas) doesn’t get on Monday Night Football.

> a couple of things to deal with this year that the Lions didn’t. A tough schedule and half the damned team on IR.

The Lions do in fact have a tough schedule, as the do every year. It’s less tough this year, because they always play the 49ers, and in the (non-recent) past that has been tough.

[SunkenCiv]

LOL!

[Enchante]

Is EVERYTHING from Detroit in a state of collapse these days?

[ozzymandus]

Has Detroit played the Chiefs? Although the Chiefs somehow won a game this season, they reek.
