Lions Going for 0-8...Half Way Home!

Why bother even getting excited for the Lions game this weekend...right? Well, for one it's not going to be blacked-out, because thankfully they are on the road this weekend. And they are heading over to Chicago for an afternoon tilt with the Bears. You might recall the last time out the Lions turned Kyle Orton into the 2nd coming of Peyton Manning.

Well, Orton took that confidence and continues to ride with it. The Lions actually went into Soldier Field last season and won a hard fought - DEFENSIVE - yup, defensive game. Ironically, that also done on the grind and legs of Kevin Jones, who now happens to be a 2nd stringer on the Bears. Still though, if you'd like to toss a wager on the table and can find the odds - I'd almost bet the house that Kevin Jones gets a Touchdown this week against his old team.

And let's not kid ourselves, despite his terminal knee - Jones could probably sneak in a vulture TD if he were in a wheelchair. Ahem, you can gather I'm not all too confident about that Lions defense. Really, Sunday is just a formality for the Lions. Yes, a stepping stone on the route to perfecting imperfection. Does that make sense?

Well, what I mean is this season is no longer about pride or talent evaluation. It's about proving that a team can claw, scrape and fight to win ball games and still - yes, still go 0-16. All this talk about who would win between the Bengals and Lions or who is the actually the worse team. The answer my friends is quite simple, the Lions are the worst team in the NFL.

Am I ashamed, nope. In fact, I'm rooting for this continued imperfection all the way until the end of the season. Look, what purpose does 6-10 or 5-11 really serve you anyhow? If you're gonna lose - you may as well distinguish yourself. We would always hear - the last 0-16 team was the Detroit Lions. It would live on and on, that's our only hope at a legacy.

So, if you're looking from my bold prediction it's not pretty, but...

Bears 27
Lions 14

Deep. Deep. Sigh.
