/dev/null Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 Already down 14-0 in the first quarter en route to the first 0-16 team ever
BuffaloWings Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 I never thought we'd ever see another undefeated team or a winless team. I'm hoping the Lions win, but I don't see it happening.
VOR Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 I think I want to see the Lions win, just to see the Packers fans go head-hunting for Ted Thompson. I think that had Favre stayed in Green Bay, they run away with the division.

VOR Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 The QB play isn't why the Packers are 5-10. I don't agree, but it doesn't matter. If the Packers lose to the Lions, and even otherwise, I'm sure more than a few Packers fans aren't happy with how the season went.
/dev/null Posted December 28, 2008 Author Posted December 28, 2008 Detroit 21 Green Bay 31 Congratz to the Detroit Lions for making history :wallbash:
buckeyemike Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 Detroit 21Green Bay 31 Congratz to the Detroit Lions for making history Yep...the Lions ran the table. In reverse. They hung with the Packers most of the game (tied 14-14 early in the fourth), but a long pass from Rodgers to Driver put it on ice for Green Bay. Imagine this: Packers finish 6-10. Rodgers has 4,000+ yards passing and 28 TDs. Driver had over 1,000 yards receiving. Grant had over 1,200 yards rushing. The Packers scored 419 points, gave up 380. And they still could do no better than 6-10??? Has to be the defense and the special teams in Packerland, cause it sure ain't the offense.
davefan66 Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 Yep...the Lions ran the table. In reverse. Makes 7-9 not look so bad...
ExiledInIllinois Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 Makes 7-9 not look so bad... Then one considers that Jauron last came out of the Lion's org... Are we ready to head over the cliff too? The Lion's started hot last year and self-destructed.

buckeyemike Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 I think I want to see the Lions win, just to see the Packers fans go head-hunting for Ted Thompson. I think that had Favre stayed in Green Bay, they run away with the division. A lot of them are after Thompson already, because of his handling of the Favre matter. Granted, that could have been done better. By BOTH sides. However, Thompson made the right move. Rodgers had 4,000+ yards passing and 28 touchdowns. He threw only 13 INTs. He stayed healthy. I don't think Aaron Rodgers could have done any better. The whiners in Wisconsin are now rooting for the Jets. Fine. They were Favre fans, not Packers fans, in the first place. A QB gets far too much credit when his team wins and too much blame when his team loses. The QB play isn't why the Packers are 5-10. I wholeheartedly agree. See above response. It's the defense and the failings of the special teams. Two missed FGs away from 8-8, at least.
DCBongo Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 true, 0-16 is just aweful, but lets be real, Bills and Lions are both bottom dwellers of the NFL, poorly run and have no chance of winning (as of today). We have 7 more wins, but we are way too similar. If this does inspire RW to spend a few bucks on a quality HC and GM then we have to morbidly wait until someone lese owns this team.
EC-Bills Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 You know, it's a shame the Lions aren't in the playoffs. I would love to see how far they could take their losing streak in the postseason.
