2008 Lions, A Team For The Ages
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Green Bay Packers yesterday becoming the last team to win a game in the 2009 season.
The 38-28 win ran the Buc's record to 1-7 and saved them the hassle and embarrassment of any further comparisons to the 2008 Lions.
Seeing Tampa win yesterday just reinforces how incredible the 2008 Lions were. To run through an entire NFL season without getting a single break, catching lightning in a bottle, or being lucky enough to catch another team on a bad day. 0-16. Legendary.
The worst team in the history of the NFL.
How bad do you have to be to have professional athletes (or the Lions best representation thereof) and not win once? Think about it.
Have you watched the Cleveland Browns this season? The Browns are nothing short of horrendous, yet they have a win. Browns' QB Derek Anderson had a game where he completed two throws and they won!
The St. Louis Rams might be the single worst collection of football players in a professional league in quite some time, but they found a way to win.
The Bucs themselves are laughably bad but managed to have one Sunday where they posted 38 points and can now take a deep breath and relax.
The Redskins look like they are trying to lose every game and they have won twice!
The 2009 Lions aren’t much better than the 2008 version but they got it done already.
I don’t know if anyone really appreciates just how special it was last season. Every season, when that 32nd and final NFL team gets a win, we should all take a moment and reflect on the perfect imperfection that was the 2008 Lions.
The winless season is like Haley’s comet, only more rare and twice as spectacular.

How the packers gave up 38 to the Bucs I do not know, but I would never want another team to go 0-16 like the Lions. Even if you're not a good team, you have to have the worst luck in the world to not win a single game in a 16 game season. Congrats Bucs, now just try to not be the second worse team in the history of the NFL.
