Is it possible for another NFL team to have a perfect season? No, I’m not talking about the 10-0 Tennessee Titans I’m talking about the other end of the spectrum, the 0-10 Detroit Lions. They are on the verge of becoming the first team in NFL history to achieve this magnificent feat.

Around this time last year, we were in a familiar position with the Miami Dolphins. I remember the excitement I felt each week thinking that this was the year. They blew it though. They HAD to win in week 15 against the Baltimore Ravens. This is actually one of the most depressing days of my life.

There have been a lot of 1-win teams in the history of the game, never a winless team. The Lions have high expectations to break through and become that team. Take a look at their schedule; they don’t play a single game against a team with a losing record.

For the better part of my life I was a Lions fan. I grew up in Illinois, but because of my dad, my allegiance had always been to Detroit. The end to that era came a few weeks back. Although I had bragging rights for never being a fair-weather fan, I couldn’t deal with the constant disappoint. It was easier when I didn’t live in Illinois.

Dan Orlovsky made sure to throw the game by stepping out of bounce in his own endzone, resulting in two points for the opposing team.

The real point of this story, besides the PERFECT season, of course, is that Thanksgiving Day football finally has meaning again. As long as the Lions continue their ways against 7-3 Tampa Bay and the Titans can beat the newly improved Jets, we’ll have an epic showdown on turkey day. On that day, we could possibly see two teams continue on their chosen paths, or completely crush the hopes of fans all over the country waiting to see a team run the table by going 0-16.

The Detroit Free Press clearly states for us the way for our beloved Lions to stay the course, here.

Thanksgiving just took on a whole new meaning.
