Own your piece of Lions History if (when) they complete the PERFECT SEASON

That is why Detroit does not deserve a federal bail out, the Lions demonstrate on a smaller level why the big three are going out of buisness.

[Sodboy13]

Well all I can say now is 0-16 bring it on. Love me some Lions, but maybe this is exactly what we needed

Incredible, you think Matt Millen will ever find another job?

not in the NFL or NCAA he won't

Well, the AFL does need a commissioner...

[FiddySicks]

As a long time (since '83) Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan, I can only hope that the Lions lose next week so that we can get rid of that record of the 0-14 season. Even after winning a Super Bowl, that still is ingrained into my memory of how bad the franchise was. And as a Bucs fan, I can tell you that it wasn't easy being a fan of a bad team that had "promising" drafts that ended up being duds; but the Super Bowl win was so well worth it, and it's so nice even after losing today to be frustrated over two bad weeks where could've been wins turned into losses taking the control out of the hands of them to make the playoffs. As much as I'd love to celebrate another Super Bowl win, there is still as much joy not being a 3 win team every year.

To tell you the truth with as bad as this season has gone, and with us completely failing out when destiny was in our hands, watching the Lions get throttled next week really would make up for it completely... Well, almost anyway.

Green Bay better not mess this up and lose

I read a lot of reports that the Lions had a great shot at winning today because the Saints were 1-6 on the road, they were out of the playoff picture, and therefore, had nothing to play for. I didn't buy it for a second, but that's what the reports were saying.

Yet, the Saints demolished the Lions by 35 points and had nearly 300 total yards in the first half. If the Lions don't go 0-16 this season, the Packers should be kicked out of the NFL. The 2008 Lions are the worst team I've ever seen in football, pro, college, even high school. Hell, maybe in all of pro sports.

The offense is garbage.

The defense is nothing but a bunch of pylons.

The coach is a stubborn, short-sighted fool who refuses to make any changes in strategy and game planning despite 15 consecutive losses.

The owner, I swear, is senile and couldn't care less about being competitive.

Oh, and by the way, Ford's bringing back Tom Lewand and Martin Mayhew. Unbelievable.

are you sure that is not a misprint.

Detroit News sports "writer" Rob Parker asked Rod Marinelli the following question:

"On the lighter side, do you wish your daughter married a better defensive coordinator?"

[NJTank]

That's a joke Rob Parker should be fired for that kind of unprofessionalism

[Top Shelf]

Somewhere, the '76 Bucs are starting to ice their champagne

Rob Parker and being unprofessional go hand in hand, so I'm not really surprised he asked that question. I agree with the FOX postgame crew, Parker's an idiot.

[Mac the Knife]

As a long time (since '83) Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan, I can only hope that the Lions lose next week so that we can get rid of that record of the 0-14 season.

You honestly think that the Lions going 0-16 will erase the stigma the Bucs still carry for their 0-26 debut? Nope. Sorry.

[BlueSky]

OK, I'm encouraged. The Saints did exactly what they should have done. The Lions helped though...that defense looked like they really didn't want to be there.

If you're a Lions fan, though, have hope because turnarounds aren't a long process any more if you hire the right people. Look at Atlanta, with the obvious exception of Ryan & Turner, it's basically the same group of guys who were the laughingstocks of the league last year. Man, that didn't last nearly long enough in my book.

You obviously don't know Rob Parker. He's been doing this kind of thing for years.

[The_Admiral]

I feel like a lot of the outrage around the Internet over Parker's comments is feigned. That question was a Deadspin post, basically. Feigned outrage? On the Internet?

Warrick Dunn, Alge Crumpler, Byron Leftwich, Joey Harrington, Joe Horn, DeAngelo Hall, Morten Andersen, Rod Coleman, DeMorrio Williams, Matt Prater (Him missing a FG from the 2 yard line still haunts me whenever the Falcons line up for a FG) and a whole bunch of other cancers/castoffs disagree with you.

[habsfan1]

I'll be at Lambeau next week. I'm going to pick up any ticket "stubs" I find laying on the ground, just in case.

Lucky you.

I hope it airs on one of my channels that broadcast NFL games.

[DarkJourney]

If the Dolphins and Falcons can do it, anyone can. They just need to hire the right people.

Not until this man is no longer the owner

The Lions will win a game, even if they are done with the vikings.

Nobody goes 0-16. They'll get one.

Maybe President McCain will call them to congratulate them when they do.

Oh, snap! Good call.

I want the tee!

[NJTank]

Congrats Detroit You did it!!!!

Quite remarkable, Matt Millen has indeed proven he was the worst General Manager of All Time

BTW updating the song its 31-97 wow.

[TFoA]

They did it.

I can not wait to see/hear the party that Jim Rome is throwing.
