Last week we shared about the possibilities of the Lions going 0-16.  It seems that nothing has changed to make that scenario less likely.  As a matter of fact, with each week the possibility increases.

This morning Micheal Rosenberg of the Detroit Free Press shares 10 reasons why he thinks the Lions may indeed go 0-16.  The first is, in my opinion, the most compelling.

They’re bad enough to do it.

This seems obvious. We all know the Lions stink. It’s probably the only thing Kwame Kilpatrick and Ken Cockrel Jr. agree upon.

But there is a difference between being bad and being bad enough to go 0-16. In 2006, Marinelli’s first season, the Lions were bad. They went 3-13 and were outscored by 93 points.

But this season, they already have been outscored by 98.

In 2001, the Lions started 0-12 and finished 2-14. They were 16th in the 31-team NFL in offense and 26th in defense. That’s pretty bad. But this year, they are 32nd in total defense and 29th in offense in the 32-team NFL. That is historically bad.
