    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....

    Only three teams in the modern era have started 0-14. They are:

    1. 1976 Buccaneers (finished 0-14)
    2. 1980 Saints (won in Wk 15. Finished 1-15)
    3. 2008 Lions

    Just one more game, and they will set the all time record for futility.

    Why just suck, when you can be legendary?

    Re: Will the Lions go winless?

    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.)

    Re: Will the Lions go winless?

    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.

    Crosby with the field goal...it's 17-14 Pack, with a bit over 13 minutes left in the game...

    It ain't looking good in Mudville right now...Rodgers with a toss from five yards and that's a TD. 24-14, Pack
