I have seen plenty of Lions games on Thanksgiving, but this was the worst game by the Lions on Thanksgiving that I have seen in my life....

[Charles Henrickson]

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

[PGR88]

Fire Marinelli now.

It’s not all his fault, but coaching change may at least show someone is serious. Might win them one game.

Three words -— Tampa Bay Bucs (at the inception).

[Straight Vermonter]

It’s really hard to top (bottom?) the 76 Buccaneers. It wasn’t just the winless season it was just how bad they were.

Finally just two words...Steve Spurrier.

[jimfree]

Tampa Bay went 20 something games before their first victory in the mid 70s.

[Lysandru]

What about the 2007 Miami Dolphins????

[NonValueAdded]

The hapless fins of last year turned around their season. I don't see this in Detroit's future. Does anything in that state work right?

[BGHater]

Gonna be tough to top the 89’ Cowboys.

[max americana]

The question is: who keeps deciding to put the worst NFL team on Thanksgiving Day vs a far superior team year after year?
Does the Detroit Lions have some racy pics of the NFL commish?

[RGPII]

Haven’t they played some close games against good or at least fair teams? Yes but it’s a pity when they are playing poor on Thanksgiving where they usually rise to the occasion but I don’t think they are necessarily the worst ever. Every year it seems you have some poor teams. I feel sorry for their fans.

[TWohlford]

Detroit fans are left to recall the glory days of the Wayne Fontes (coaching) era, when they actually won a playoff game.

This is the only playoff win in the last, what, 51 years?

[Canedawg]

It’s time for another Millen Man March!

[BenLurkin]

Doesn’t matter — I will root for the Lions every Thanksgiving.

[screaminsunshine]

I am an expert on the subject being from Tampa Bay. After what I saw today I vote YES.

[Force of Truth]

They are this year. But seriously I would say no, because they at least have one of the best WRs in the NFL with C. Johnson.

[Phoenix11]

I’m going to take them with a win over Minnesota. Though I hope they beat NO, I don’t think it’s going to happen.

[Grunthor]

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

I wasn’t goingto say anything because my team is the Seahawks. Then I remembered that Seattle had a couple of things to deal with this year that the Lions didn’t. A tough schedule and half the damned team on IR.

Detroit just might be the worst in history.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: The Lions ownership is to blame. Henry Clay Ford does not care if the Lions win or lose, as long as they fill seats and make money. That is all he is in it for. When the Lions stop making money, he will sell it and get out.
Look at the Wings. They were a powerhouse in the 50's. Then they fell on hard times until they were bought by someone who wanted to win, not just make money. The team was built up, and they started to win. Now they are the best of the best.

Forget the Lions, they are a lost cause as Ford and the front office management care nothing about winning or losing. They do not realize how much more money they could make by creating a team that actually wins. Either that, or they do not want to spend the money. And why should they? They spend little, have ruined many pontentially good careers of some very good players (Barry Sanders, anyone?), and walk away with plenty of money.

I'm sorry, Detroit fans. But until you stop buying tickets and attending games, The Lions will continue to be a losing team - because all you do is line Ford's pockets with your money.

[A message]

The way they rolled over today they certainly are trying to attain that standard.
