The official quest to go 0-16 thread

[Timone]

Throw it deep to Calvin while backed up near your own endzone? Way to go Danny. Does this fucking Pole not know that they're chasing history?

[Timone]

BTW, what was Calvin thinking catching that ball anyway? Fucking idiot. I'm so sick of this guy's attitude.

One game left they can maybe win.

I like the Lions chances to go 0-16.

They will still win a meaningless game at some point. The real question is whether the Bengals win a game.

[WTFchris]

A lot of people pegged the Texans as the Lions’ best shot at a win this season. What team gets that distinction now?


I’ll go with the Vikings. They clearly don’t have a quarterback that they trust. Whether it’s Tavaris Jackson or Gus Frerotte, the Lions know that they don’t have to worry about getting beat through the air. Because of that, they were way more aggressive against the Vikes than they have been in any other game this season.

It does bear noting that the Lions are fast approaching the one year anniversary of their 6-2 start. They beat the Broncos at Ford Field highlighted by a monster defensive game from Shaun Rogers. Since that time, they have won one (ONE!) game. They’re 1-13 since that win over the Broncos. And that came at home against the Chiefs…barely. And some people still try to convince me that Rod Marinelli is a good coach.

I like the last part. 1-13 with a 5 point win over a 4-12 team that had lost 7 straight before rolling into Ford Field last year. BTW, their offense tried to lose them that game too. Kitna threw for 115 yards, 0 TDs and 1 INT. They got a 61 yards INT return and a block punt safety or they would have lost that game too.

Still perfect!

[Big Swami]

Whew, I was worried there for a moment. Go Lions!

[WTFchris]

Wow:

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Gus Frerotte is the only quarterback to face the Lions this season who did not set a career high in passer efficiency rating.
