for the record, the panthers currently have the record for most consecutive losses in one season (lost their last 15, think it was '01, but i could be wrong)

What's your point? If they wanted to be legendary, they shouldn't have beaten Minnesota in week 1. As it is, they're just there. Like the stuff underneath your shoe when you walk your dog and aren't watching your step.

I second that motion...I hear the Lions played pretty well, yesterday...at least they have a powerful incentive -that of not to be the first team to lose 16 games in an N.F.L. season...
I hope the Detroit Lions win, at least, one....that City has had its share of aggro, lately....

Reread his comment, bud: Most consecutive losses IN ONE SEASON
Plus, I'm still giving the futility award to the Lions if they lose this week.
Winning game one (the '01 Panthers) just means they didn't want it badly enough. As for the '76-'77 Buccaneers, they certainly made an impression, but as an expansion team you kinda expect trouble. The Lions are one of the oldest teams in the NFL.
(They also have the second longest streak between championships. Only the Cardinals have gone longer.)

The Lions could easily win either game, if they get some breaks. With better luck they could have 2-3 wins already. My guess would be that their best chance is against the Saints. New Orleans is awful on the road, going 1-6 thus far, with the only win against the hapless Chiefs.
Of course, with the way Brees is playing, I guess the Saints are capable of winning by 30 points, but N.O. has a lot of injuries as well, so...
I would think that the Lions have a much better chance of winning at home against the Saints than on the road vs Green Bay.
