Many people thought it couldn’t be done — that is the dreaded 0-16 record the Lions suffered in 08′. Accumulating an 0-16 record was less likely than going 16-0, which the New England Patriots accomplished in 07′ just a year prior.

The Detroit Lions have an uphill climb in every sense of the word. The Lions are basically starting from scratch and at 0-16; the entire roster besides Calvin Johnson needed an overhaul.

It has been one bad draft pick after another for the Detroit Lions, nothing has worked. When will they get it right?

Since a team can’t do worse then an 0-16 record, there is only room for improvement. The Detroit Lions did improve in one aspect — that was drafting number 1 pick QB Matthew Stafford.

The Lions jumped out to a nice start, and even led the game 10-7 at halftime. It really looked like the team had a shot to win this game, and this may have very well been the end of a dreadful losing streak! Could it really be?

Unfortunately, the answer to that question was no. The Vikings went on to score 20 the next 23 points, defeating the Lions by a 27-13 margin. It gave fans some sort of hope as they made it exciting.

With Matthew Stafford and WR Calvin Johnson, the Lions have a nucleus in place to start a respectable franchise instead the butt of jokes for once. The Lions finally won a game after a 19-game losing streak defeating the Washington Redskins in week 3. The previous win came in 07′ in week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Detroit Lions might not win many games but better days surely lay ahead. It can’t get any worse!
