There, I fixed the thread

gently caress 0-16 Watch. That's just for one season.

QB Watch: The Houston Texans starts now. What's your opinion on O/U of years it takes before they get a good one? I'm thinking 7.

Meanwhile in Baltimore, Marc Trestman is doing to Joe Flacco what he did to Jay Cutler. That man really is a QB guru.

The Lions will beat the Bears both times. The only question is if they'll be beating Cutler both times, or Clausen to go 1-5 and then Cutler when it's meaningless in the second game and both teams have given up on playoff contention

Lions can easily lose at least 1 of those 3. 2 if Gabbert's playing

The Lions have been the last remaining winless team in the NFL 8 times, the most of any team

i don't think it happens, guys

Don't have kids. If you do, the goal will become "maybe they'll see a Super Bowl before they die" and then the situation and realization that no they won't will be even sadder

If the Lions manage to go 0-16 a second time in less than 10 years, Goodell should make one of those wildly overreaching moves he does from time to time and contract them from the NFL entirely.

Or at least be forced to trade or release Calvin Johnson. Grant him mercy.

Caldwell says he's not changing any coaches this week. Also Stafford's starting.

Things are looking good for this thread staying alive until at least Thanksgiving.

The tradition of firing people after London losses must be continued. Logically there's no way Reid or Smith are canned, so it only makes sense the Lions will lose and Lombardi's gone then

If they blow it next week at home against Chicago I think there's a very real chance that they go winless. Caldwell and Lombardi have no idea what they're doing and I wouldn't be surprised if players have started checking out for the season. If Chicago beats them on their own turf then they'll definitely start checking out and the current regime won't be able to get them back. At this point I'd say their only winnable games are Chicago next week and hosting SF in Week 16. Saints fans would have you think otherwise but I don't think this Detroit team can win in NO. They even lost a winnable game through a freak accident that maybes comes up once in an entire season across all teams, just like in 2008!

I know I've been crowing about how I knew long before this season that Detroit's window was closed, and how no one should have any expectations for them this year, but even so they have looked completely awful. I'm honestly surprised at how far they've fallen but I know I shouldn't be.

One person stood up and talked to the locker room after the game reportedly.

That person?

Josh Bynes. Backup linebacker Josh Bynes.

Between that, their on-field performance, and a player comparing how he feels now to how he felt when someone he loved died, they've already checked out.

lol that anyone's still under the impression they could be saved

I'd say "someday, everyone will realize they won't see a Lions championship in their lifetime" but jesus christ. They had the best running back of all time and never even came close. They had the best receiver of all time and became the first team to go 0-16. Do they really need to also waste away the best quarterback of all time and the best coach of all time for people to comprehend this team is never achieving success?

idgi, why would Brady and Belchick go the Lions?

Once they get 19-0, their only challenge left before retirement will be "Can we prove we can dominate on even the worst team?"

The answer will be a no, but it will lead to beautiful tantrum gifs, which will make it worthwhile

If they beat Green Bay with Rodgers playing, even if it's the one and only win they get all year, nobody will be fired because of it
