The crazier thing than the fact the Lions will go 0-16 is how futile they've been over the past 20+ years. On top of that if they didn't have Barry Sanders (arguably the greatest RB ever) in the 80's and 90's it makes a guy wonder if this wouldn't be the second or third time they've gone winless. The lions may be the only team in pro football that need a starting QB more than the Riders.
But at least the Riders have the rest of the parts in place to compete. Especially now that JC has come home.
I don't think there are any bright spots in Detroit.
I hope they lose.. I cant stand the Lions, I always had a very intense dislike for that team. No, I can't explain it.. the same goes for the Tigers and Pistons. I guess maybe its just the way that hockey takes a back seat even when the Wings are bringing championships to Detroit and not being fussed over the way the other pro teams usually are.
