Titans 47, Lions 10
Lions Prolong a Tradition of Futility
DETROIT — Making fun of the Lions is too easy, like an ice fisherman casting his line into a drink cooler.
In a city that is home to auto executives who traveled in private jets to Washington to plead poverty, the Lions still provide the biggest laughs. Derek Richards, a stand-up comedian who grew up here, said: “You can make a Lions joke anywhere in the country and people get it. Everybody across the United States knows how miserable this team is.â€
The Lions (0-12) looked like a vaudeville act masquerading as a National Football League team Thursday in a 47-10 loss to the Tennessee Titans at Ford Field. They turned the ball over three times, were 0 for 11 on third downs and allowed the Titans’ offense to roll for 456 yards on the way to their worst margin of defeat in a Thanksgiving Day game.
The loss to the 11-1 Titans represented another obstacle overcome in the Lions’ bid to become the first team in league history to finish 0-16. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers finished 0-14 in 1976.

They've won one playoff game in 50 years. Millen was not the problem.

I've got to give props to Jeff Fisher for not running 50 points up on the scoreboard. God knows that it would have been easy enough to do. The guy has a little bit of decorum.

Actually as a resident of Tampa during that time, the Bucs lost the first 12 games the following season, for a total of 0-26. Let's see if you can beat that, wimps. :loser:
