It's Gonna Happen...0-16!

Failure (fail, phail or flop) in general refers to the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective. It may be viewed as the opposite of success. (See Detroit Lions).

It's a sad state of sobering reality in Detroit. There is no end in sight, no silver lining, no end to this bleeding. Yup, the Detroit Lions are the worst team franchise in the NFL all of sports. I welcome all rebuttals, please, please prove me wrong. Standing at 0-4 after Sunday's debacle, the dream of an unblemished season is a reality.

And for the Lions a win would be a blemish. Oh yes, they simply must pursue the dream of utter shame and embarrassment by going win-less. Let's be honest, the pursuit of imperfection won't be all that hard. Besides, this team deserves the honor...don't they? OK, don't answer that.

The organization thought to have rid itself of rotting failure by cutting ties with king idiot Matt Millen are still in utter disarray. You've got WR Mike Furrey speaking out on how the team has no identity:

We thought we had an identity. We thought we were progressing a little bit. Now it just seems like we’re at a standstill right now. We’re trying to find out who we are and what we can do, making sure everybody understands the system.

It's a lost cause in Detroit. Rod Marinelli has vowed to continue to "play hard" or "play out the string." Of course, he's also vowed to basically do whatever the Ford family asks of him. So, we can fully expect that his leash will soon be cut. However, that probably won't happen until the end of the season.

For now, it's just a train wreck in motion. Rudi Johnson isn't all too pleased with his role on the team. Really? Well, that's shame - hey Rudi what the fuck did you think you were getting into? There are also rumors that Roy Williams is being dangled like a carrot, which should come as no real surprise. Williams flipped his helmet and waived his arms in disgust at one point on the sidelines yesterday. Then again can you blame him?

Kyle Orton lit the Lions up. Yes, the same Kyle Orton who missed the memo that neck beards were long out of style. Now, you look ahead at the schedule and realize there are really only two winnable games on the Lions schedule. Circle December 7th at home against Minnesota (still might be a long shot). Then you've got Houston in a few weeks, but that's on the road and I really don't think the Texans are all that bad.

Seriously, look at the rest of the schedule - it ain't far fetched. It goes...

The Lions flirted with 0-16 back in 2001 and that was Millen's first year on the job. How ironic that they're gonna flirt with that same disaster in the final chapter of the Millen era. Here's for another twist, the Lions ended the pursuit of imperfection with a win over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 14. Well, I guess you gotta hit rock bottom before you can climb back to the top.

Too bad the Lions are well past rock bottom. Deep Sigh.
