I really don’t want the Lions to go 0-16 at all. That’s just cruel. Mostly because they have actually been trying and they even seem to get along. They have really had a lot of bad luck and have almost won a few games. It’s sad really.

Also- I like how Calvin Johnson continues to play really hard even though his team has yet to win a game. He looked like a bad ass yesterday.

I would rather see the Lions go 0-16, because this would be two years in a row that something historic has happened with last years Patriots going 16-0. I love seeing history in the making!

I am disappointed that 64% of the respondents, as of 11:49 CT, want to see the Lions go 0-16. Where is the compassion!?

I’ve never been a Lions fan, and I’ve never really cared much about their fate. Until this season. As a devout Packers fan, it’s comforting to see a team worse off than my own. With that being said, I would be fine with Detroit picking up a win this season, as long as it comes against the Saints!

@JRod, I’ve seen a team go undefeated, I’ve seen teams make improbable comebacks, and I’ve seen great teams fold under pressure… never have I seen a team go win less. I guess you could say I’m a history buff.

Well that and I feel it may be the only way Lions management ever get their heads on straight and realize it’s never going to work unless they don some serious rethinking.

@Plough, why? I am just curious as to why anyone would actively root for another team to go winless. Unless of course it was the Steelers, Ravens, or Purdue — in which case I’d be all about it. Do you have something against the Lions specifically, or just want to watch history be made?
