NFL: Here's rooting for the Lions to finish 0-16. And why>

I am also rooting for 0-16.
We Lions fans have suffered through so much ineptitude, it seems fitting that the franchise should go down in history as the worst ever. With games against the Colts, Saints, and Packers, I'd say the Lions have a real shot at doing it too.

Detroit hasn't won in Green Bay in a long time. A long time. Green Bay may look bad at times, but no one looks as bad as the Lions in all aspects of the game at all times.
This is truly one of the worst teams ever.

2 to go! Only thing is they are playing competitive right now!
Too bad the Lions can't mimic the Patriots' run last year, and lose their way into the Superbowl only to win the final game. 
The Lions still made history, regardless of how they do in their last game. They are the first NFL team to go 0-15. Okay, it may not be "perfection", but it's still the most losses any NFL team has had in a single season.
They've only tied the record for most losses in a season. The Lions need to lose to the Packers to lose the most games ever.
What is up with Detroit anyway. Here I am about 20 minutes from Oakland watching Al Davis dismantle this once proud franchise and I look over to the City of Detroit only to find the owner say that only small changes will be made in the offseason. I was watching ESPNNews today, and there was a quote from the Detroit paper that was 100% accurate:
Maybe the situation in Oakland isn't as Bad as I think it is, because you could always be the Detroit Lions.

While interesting, I'm not sure that would work with football; there's no level below the NFL.
Now, hockey on the other hand. Yeah, I'd love to see a Premier League-like relegation system.
I don't know. Maybe there are some fans who are wishing it but don't want to admit it.
I don't know either, but at some point people do get just that frustrated. Kind of like my attitude in in baseball: I'm not wishing bad things on Carl Pohlad, but hey, he's pushing 90 and the Twins will never have a decent payroll until he takes a dirt nap.
The Pack will be on a mission after last night's loss to the Bears. Perfection in the form of 0-16 isn't a fool's bet, to be sure.

As an original Bucs fan from the beginning, I salute the Lions in their quest. Though nobody's done 0-16 in a season, the Bucs were winless many decades before the Lions. Losing the first 12 of the following season pretty much tells me the Lions are hardly original in that department. Those were some rough years.
I'd love to see the Lions finish it off. I'm not sure why the OP thinks he's the only one rooting for a team to lose. Probably MOST fans root for another team to lose at some point. They should make it a prime time game and we can all watch the Lions finish this off. Remember when some of you actually believed in the Lions briefly when they were 6-2 last year? Fools!

Hey, I for one have never, ever, ever believed in the Lions.
Understandable. It's probably better to save those stories for telling around the campfire, where the atmosphere is truly spooky and ubelievable.
