Im not sure if this is in the right topic area but, I just wanted to bring up this topic of the Detroit Lions going 0-16. One of the worst records in NFL history.
Actually, the worst record in NFL history. The only other teams to have not won a single game in a season were all experimental teams in their first years. Even then, their records were only 0-10.
Tampa Bay went 0-14 in its first season (1976). They were the last team to go winless until the Lions this year.
In other interesting NFL news, the New England Patriots went 11-5, yet did not make the playoffs. Because of how the divisions and conferences are set up, 4 teams with worse records made the playoffs (including 8-8 San Diego Chargers). This is the second time in the NFL that an 11-5 team did not reach the post season.
I thought it was pretty funny. The lions has a couple of chances to win but they blew it. I hope their franchise turns around like the falcons. Maybe their draft choice well be a really good QB. Id feel sorry for him though.
Crap record??!! 11-5? Thats good. It really made me mad that the Chargers made it to the playoffs over New England! I think the teams with the best records should go!
