0-16 sucks, and even though it was the Browns I'm glad they won. I don't wish that on anyone.

Well I just didn't want the lions to remain the only team with that honer is all..I mean I had been thinking well after the lions blow it and end up not evening making the playoffs now at least we'd have company in the 0-16 club at years end, but nope! A lions fan can't even have that :-(
 
The 2008 Lions remain the only team in NFL history to go 0-16 in a season after Cleveland's 20-17 win over San Diego Shits on Saturday.
The Lions have two members of this season's roster from that team -- backup QB Dan Orlovsky and snapper Don Muhlbach. "It was just the worst thing I've ever had to go through, football-wise," Muhlbach told me in 2015. "I wouldn't wish that on anybody."
Now the Browns don't have to join the Lions in that club.
espn
 
If the Lions can actually win the last 2 games, they have an outside chance for a bye.
 
Looks like the saints are going to win so this means if the lions beat the cowboys Monday they'd have a spot right?
 
Giants clinch .. Any win or tie by the lions and we are in I think.

Vikings DB's ignore the coaches game plan and do their own thing instead. GB shreds them.

The Minnesota Vikings’ defensive backs heard head coach Mike Zimmer’s game plan heading into Saturday’s game against the Green Bay Packers. The Vikings chose not to listen to it.

Zimmer wanted top cornerback Xavier Rhodes to follow receiver Jordy Nelson for the entire game, but the Vikings corners decided on their own they would stick to their respective sides of the field.

At first, Rhodes didn’t want to talk about it after the game. But then he told The Star Tribune that the players decided Zimmer’s plan was a bad one. In essence, they went rogue on their coach.

A matter of fact, forget it,” Rhodes said. “We felt as a team, as players, we came together and we felt like we’d never done that when we played against the Packers. [We] as DBs felt like we could handle [Nelson]. That’s how we felt as DBs — that we could stay on our side and cover him. In the beginning, we’d always played against them and played our sides, so that’s what we as DBs went with.”

It didn’t work. Nelson torched the Vikings for nine catches (on 11 targets) for 154 yards and two touchdowns in the Packers victory. But in the second half, with Rhodes on Nelson exclusively, the receiver was held to two catches for 9 yards.

“That’s what he was supposed to do the whole game,” Zimmer said. “Someone decided they wouldn’t do that.”

I know the coach will take the bulk of the heat here for not putting his foot down sooner, but I hope leadership of that team shits on that DB core all week. What a bunch of fucking idiots, they should be embarrassed.

This story is so awesome lol
 
If we can't score vs their shitty defense we deserve nothing. Even bradford put up close to 400 yds on them.
